Compression Garments



Recommended Posts

Any use any type of compression garments… have they helped with skin? I am thinking I will probably try some to my flabby arms and my belly after I get surgery but I just was wondering if anyone has ever used them.

I've been wearing a compression shirt and shorts off and on since surgery. I don't know that they have helped by themselves, but they have helped in conjunction with exercise. My only loose skin now is in the back of my upper arms and my belly area, but I expected both of those. IMO, they can't hurt and they make me look better in clothes, so I'll keep wearing mine. I do try to make sure my compression shorts aren't so tight they cut off circulation in my legs because I do a lot of driving and sitting for my job.

I wear them. I don't know if they have helped because I dont know what I would've looked like if I hadn't worn them. I dont have much loose skin. My thighs are a bit loose but everywhere else is pretty good. I don't go anywhere without them because they make my figure so smooth and nice. :)

Yes and I love how much smaller they make me look! I personally love wearing colombian girdles I feel they last longer and are very adjustable as you lose weight.. I get mine from pfcolombianjeans.com a little bit pricey but worth the money you are definitely paying for quality I have bought 3 different styles so far, I wear them to work out, to go out and sometimes to sleep... they really do shape your body!!!! I would recommend compression garments 100%!

Theres a good sizing chart on the under armor website. Probably one on the Spanx site as well.

Awww man I want one of these so bad.

One of those full body ones that hold in everything from boobs and back fat to your knees. I'm so worried about loose skin.

These are super expensive though. They look really nice and probably worth it.

Yes I went to pfcolombianjeans.com. I'm low BMi so I feel like if I wear compression garments through weightloss I may not have to deal with skin. I'm losing fast though... I just don't want to spend 200 bucks on something that won't fit me in a couple of months...

Yeah I can understand the concern.. I felt the same way... honestly i think you can wear one size for longer than a couple of months thats how tight they are.. I know a tailor here that can take it in and make it smaller once I need too.. maybe you can try that? Or maybe look for a cheaper one elsewhere.. I highly recommend wearing one. Im low BMI too.. and loose skin is my biggest fear... Good luck with everything...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
