Greeting Cream Puff and Cat! I just ordered a Veronique from www.makemeheal.com as well, great website. Yet I will have to say I would not have heard of anything without this site! I have done my pre-op, post-op and long term care under the supervision of www.plasmetic.com...

Cream Puff, everyones butt sags... that's what we are here for, to "Give a Lift!" I look forward to hearing about your venture and support you all the way!

Smile, Kathy

catwoman,

You wrote about Rainey and to order it on the small side. My Veronique stage 1 is small and frankly after spending so much money (I can return my stage 2),do you suppose I can get away with Rainey's X-SM stage 2 on Rainey instead of special ordering one made for my measurements?

catwoman · 07-11-2007, 10:22 PM

Yes, I do believe you could do that with no problem. They stretch quite well. You tiny little thang!

Fly1 · 07-11-2007, 10:43 PM

Thanks catwoman,I'll place the order for a X-S size.

Hi all,

Happy Friday. I have decided to try the LIPOZAP, the process is going to be more drawn out, but upon weighing the options here I am. They gave me a Marena and I don't really like it, the back is funky for summer dresses and the lace around the calves are tight. Veronique seems like the best bet for the first week and at night with Spanx for working out, what are your thoughts?

Thanks.

Kath

Hey, Kath, I do not like Marena at all as you probably read my critique in the guide. Don't know much about the Lipozap aftercare or such, so it is hard to recommend what you should be doing. My only thought is that if you can stay in a Stage 2 garment for the entire process (no zippers) you could everything in your garment, including working out. The Slimcognito spanx was the best for compression and support in my opinion, but it does run short. Rainey would be a good option because of its comfort. Let me know how the lipozap works. I am curious as to how the fat is eliminated. Thanks.

OK, I am going to pre-op buy the Veronique to take with me, but, for sizing... do you suggest that I buy one that fits me perfect now, pre-op? Or get one a bit snugger in hopes that what they take out, will be enough to compensate for swelling...

catwoman · 07-17-2007, 09:10 AM

Tiffany, if you are talking about the Stage One, you should be able to go with your pre-op measurements. These garments are sized smaller than the actual body measurements because they are meant to stretch and be snug. If you are unsure of the size, the customer service at MMH will advise you. They are really quite helpful. I wore a medium stage one and a small stage 2 if that helps.

Aaa,that garment thingy..can't do with it,can't do without it.

Got my Rainey XS couple of weks ago,

still loose around the upper tights/saddlebag area. I wrapped cotton gauze around my tights (better than stage 1 though where I had to wear a sweat pants underneath),every time I took a step,cotton wrapping rode upward turning into a rope.

Yesterday I received my other order Lipo in a Box capri and finally I got some squeeze around the saddlebags. It was either that or run back to Versalles and ask Dr.Lopez if she can put some fat back..NOT....

Someone posted something about an e-oil or something that they bought at Walgreens that helped a lot. I can't find where it was posted though. Can anyone help with this???

Also, how do you know when to go from full time compression garments to part-time and so on????
