Swelly Belly Band with TVH?

Hello Sisters...

I have a question..can anyone help?

~With a TVH, should I purchase a swelly belly band? How swelly are we talking? I am pretty stressed out about this, I am normally a size 8-10 and I have to be back to work after 4 weeks off, should I be concerned about fitting into my clothes?

Thanks Ladies!

Swelly Belly Band with TVH?

Hi,

I had a TVH and did not have much of a swelly belly and did not need the belt. I went back at 6 weeks and my pants that button on the side and are fitted , did not fit good and were a little tight. I did have some looser ones and wore other things that allowed that little bit of room I needed. I didn't think I had any swelly belly until I put on certain pants.

I am not sure what you wear to work . We wear dress casual at my work(work in office of school).

I hope this helps everyone is different, but I don't think TVH causes much swelly belly. I did notice if I was more active,it would get puffy.

The swelly belly is an individual thing. I had a TAH and did not have any swelling at all. I came home from the castle in the same clothes I went in with and they did not fit any different.

I bought underware one size larger and have never had to use them.
