@soonergal91go to hourglass.com or ardyss.com,they are most reasonable,you can also just google waist trainers too.

The garment my daughter gave me is a latex girdle style not corset,she went from xl garment to small size garment in 90 days,so she passed them to me,which in my opinion can only support the stomach. I havr read articles about post op surgical garments,this is the same in comparison. To each his own.

yes,that is the big thing,my daughter has been doing it and lost 8 inches in 60 days,she had gastric sleeve 3 yrs ago

Not feeling too well,stomach spasms hv kept me not eating my soft food and liquid intake,even hurts to tk my medicine for the pain,right side hurts the worse. Walking as much as tolerated. Finally past gas today,but no bm yet,may need to tk the muirlax tonite. I feel like Iv been ran over by dump truck.

I awoke to my left side under my breast being sore after surgery,took an alcohol swab and cleaned it,then thought nothing of it until today,I lift my underarm area under my breast to find chaffing and red bruising,with some open wound,this is also like sunburn or something,called Dr office assistant ask was it a incision from surgery, I said, I wasnt aware of any cutting supposr to be goin on in that area. So waiting for Dr to call me. Has anyone else experience this?

Weighed in at 286 at hospital before my surgery,bout time I got home 2 days later I had weighed 297, I was like what happened,either scale was off at hospital or my GNC scale is wrong. I was told it was water weight,but I went to restroom seems like every 5 min to release fluids. Well 4 days out now and have only lost 4 of those lbs. Very discouraging,especially since my bestie has lost 22 lbs and she had surgery 6 days prior to me.

Thx for the advice,chicken broth was great and I did tea,feeling better,was also able to tolerate my liquid Norco
