Compression garments help for Pap Flap?
Hi All,
I'm planning on buying a zippered girdle for my upcoming pap flap recovery. I'm getting pretty confused with sizing… is it normal to purchase a size up? I'm a M (waist 28"/ hips 37") so do I buy a L?
My surgical team hasn't been a lot of help here.
Any advice would be appreciated!

hello, I am having the same surgery next month and I am also wondering what type of recovery products we will need. I am hoping to find out during post op what I will need and who provides what.
