Rago Shapewear = Instant Tummy Tuck!



Recommended Posts

I LOVE my Rago Shapewear. Anytime someone asks me how I hide my loose skin I tell them about my shapewear. This is not for the faint of heart that feel Spanx are too restrictive. This is serious, vintage-styled shapewear that comes in limited colors and is attractive in a "sexy-only-if-you-dig-the-retro-look" way.

I dig the retro thing, and I love how well this stuff works.

As if I weren't already sold on their products (I've got several of their pieces, but my favorites are the 821 cinchers) my funk about my postpartum body completely disappeared this afternoon when my new order showed up.

I just had a baby four weeks ago (okay, four weeks and one day, but who's counting?) and have been ever so distressed by the loose middle I've been carrying around. It's just floppy and yuck and I fear that it will never rebound as much as I'd like, since it was already an issue prior to losing weight and having another baby (thanks twin pregnancy!) and there's just so much of it. Several inches, actually - if I pinch up my loose middle, I'm downright skinny under there. My entire middle is almost ENTIRELY loose skin and adipose fat that ain't leaving without some Lipo or a surgery.

I made the sorry mistake of measuring myself sans shapewear last week and it ruined my day. Mostly because I'm impatient and really wanted a magical rebound into my pre-pregnancy body. But today I put on my new cincher and man...not only does it pull everything in and support my back, too, but it took a full FIVE inches off my waist at the smallest point. I don't look like I'm wearing shapewear - I have my waspy hourglass figure back and look like I'm in a corset, even though it's easy to move around and bend in this thing.

IT'S AWESOME.

I just had to rave. If you like the older styling of serious shapewear you might give them a try. I shop herroom because they're super easy about exchanges/returns if something doesn't fit or feel comfortable.

I don't work for either company, honestly. I just love my shapewear and how it makes me look under my clothes. And this, my friends, is why I'm nearly three years out from surgery and still haven't had my plastics. I get an instant Tummy Tuck each time I hook up my shapewear and it's easy to forget I have all that skin until I put my PJs on each evening.

Only nine pounds and 1.5" back to my pre-pregnancy weight/size. :)

Thank you for this post. It gives me hope and something to look forward to. I'm only 5 weeks post op but I know I will have a tummy issue and I've contemplated surgery for skin removal down the road. I'm not ruling it out but thanks to you I have options now!!! Have an awesome weekend!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
