I used this as my second compression garment after a hysterectomy.  It was a challenge to get over my hips at first, but I was still so swollen.  It fit fine after that point and after a week, not such an issue, though how much of this was due to my own shrinkage or the breaking in of the garment, I have no idea.  It's very comfortable.  Love the wide band and torso length.

I wore this for about three weeks and while I still use this at night, I wear a modified Bellefit small girdle [I sewed on a wide band to extend the coverage line up to my bra in back] during the day.  In the end, this one, I find more comfortable and the Bellefit more aggressive.
