So I am losing most of my weight from my middle as of yet and now I have rolls in the top of my stomach too it's like all my fats gone soft lol

does anyone know a shaper that will just cover my stomach - I don't want one with legs or one that goes over the shoulders? (so maybe hips to ribs like an old fashioned corset type) ? I couldn't find any when I went shopping

I have cut some Spanx in the past. Cut the legs off (can create undies) and tuck the top into my bra, like normal. Otherwise you could cut the bottoms off completely but you may need to sew some thing on the bottom (rubber stripping) so it will stay down. I haven't seen anything commercial. That is one thing I will be excited about when I reach goal - maybe I won't need to wear spanx EVERY day. Ugh...they are hot in the summer but at least I don't get a rash from my legs rubbing together....the joys of being fat.

I know this isn't what you are looking for, but I bought some "fat free dressing" camis. They don't have the shaper in the boob area, so you wear your bra - the shaping is down the waist and lower tummy too. It isn't super tight like a corset, but it smooths out the worst of the lumps! I find them comfy too.

I've been looking at girdles and Shapewear for after I'm sleeved and for the stomach area, I've been looking at postpartum girdles. It's worth a look... http://www.bellefit.com/

Fleexies

They make an old fashioned "girdle" just for the middle.

You can get them at any JCPenny, Macys, Target, Sears, etc....

Make your tummy flat and without bluges.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
