Embarrassing



Recommended Posts

Ok hubby and I just recently joined the gym. I have been trying to do some light jogging, but I get really emabarrassed because I have hanging skin on my stomach and it flops and makes a noise when I am jogging. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I can do to help, are there compression garments that can help until I can try to get a Tummy Tuck to remove excess skin? Thanks for your help.

I have a pair of compression shorts and wished they came in a full body suit! haha!

They are really great! I have the shorts type however they do make the ones that are as long as capri pants as well!

I bought them for the same reason...I started jogging...starting week 5 today!

They make a world of difference!

Good luck!

There are neoprene shorts you can buy that, not only hold it all in, but they make you sweat more which softens the skin in that area and can assist in shrinking it. Since I have been wearing them for a few months I can def see a difference. I think one brand is called Hot Pants. I just ordered some generic ones off Amazon for $17 and they work just as well.

I like Under Armor compression shorts and pants. They are pricey but worth it. I have also learned that if you wear two pair of socks, (the kind that have extra support on the bottom) this will help you when starting out. It helps with the joints, or mine it does.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
