after the op you will be swollen so support knickers isnt a good idea at 1st, the stockings i wore for a couple of days after the op. your surgeon will tell you how long you need to wear the stockings as they all have diff rules x
2 weeks! OMG!!!
I hope they are better to wear that the standard compression socks you get from the chemist. I have them (for when I have flown) and because my calves are so chunky they are a pig to get on and after a couple of hours they start rolling down which is really uncomfortable! Hope the hospital ones are better!

Haha, they were a pain to get on on the morning of surgery, but the staff knew how to put them on easier (with a plastic bag!) and after that they seemed to get easier each day. I washed them in the washer every 2 days and they were fine....I was dying to get them off in the end though! As well as wearing something other than PJ's! haha

I have never owned any support pants either and was wondering today if it maybe might be a good idea. As for the anti clotting socks i was told to wear mine for 3-5 days till i was more mobile and i had my operation on tuesday and by thursday i was up and about freely so only put them on when i was watching tv for a lenghtly time, mine were far too tight for my legs i think i got measured up wrong as they started to cut through my legs.

My Sister told me today that YOURS ( the shop for larger ladies ) does a range of GOK pants starting from a tenner but when i looked online they didnt have them online, maybe they are not putting them online but she said she seen them in there last week, its worth a look, i suppose even a medium control panty girdle would do the trick though which i know Evans do. Hope this helps X

Really living now!
The reason that the long support socks fit better in hospital is that they are measured to fit your legs and come in about 10 different calf and leg length sizes whereas the ones you buy in the chemist don't. And, yes, they are much easier to get on if you use the plastic bag trick!

What is the plastic bag trick? Just so prepared for when get home! Claire, the Gok pants are the best i have some i wear if going some where special and need to pull it in, and they are great! Well worth the investment, but dont put on until healed i would say x
