compressors/girdles

[Grace 0]

Hi everyone ! Im new to this forum so i still have to get my endoscopy done and then my doc will set up a surgery date and im trying to get as much info as i can regarding the dreaded sagging skin :/ im 24 and everyone keeps telling me dont worry the skin will go back bc im so young..but i have alot of stretch marks so i dont believe it will be that easy, i can only wish ! But my question is what can i do after surgery so i can prevent it as much as possible ? I went to this one place and they sell post-op full body shapers ( faja salome ), this includes the arms (up to the elbow) and up to the knee...and it has a cut out around the boobs section...it also supposedly lifts your breasts and buttocks...only problem is that its costs 90 dollars !! and im dyinggg to buy it ! But what holds me back is that its not adjustable so as soon i lose the weight the girdle will be huge on me...and it will be a waste of money :/ so my question is, does anybody know of something similiar to this but that is wayyy cheaper...or something that is adjustable ? Or do you think i should buy this and see if i can sew it on the sewing machine to fit to my size ? ( lol i really dont want my money going to waste ) any ideas would be greatly apreciated ! I definetly want to avoid the sagging skin !also any creams that will help with this ?...... And not only that, i dont have insurance so i dont want to pay extra for skin removal. Thank you so much !

I know after liposuction they make you wear compression (girdle) type clothes. You are young so you should not have too much sagging but.....it also depends on how big you are/were. Your skin can only stretch so far, once you have stretched it to the point of no return you will have sagging no matter what. There is no cream, girdle, exercise that will make your skin not sag...unless you have sugery.

Hello & welcome to the group. I used all types of creams before having WLS it didn't work. Waste of time & money. Your age has nothing to do with how WLS will affect you. If your really big once you slim down 90 percent you will have saggy skin. Do exercise help? It makes you stronger feel good develop muscle but you will have saggy skin. I was 211 pounds saggy belly due to having 3 kids but my body was firm. I was a big woman but with the exception of my tummy I wasn't sagging. Had a huge butt breast. Big arms but solid arms. Now saggy butt my breast have no volume my thigh saggy arms saggy. Only my face didn't sag maybe age who knows I'm 34 years old. I'm having plastic surgery to fix everything I mention & it's expensive 35,000 I wanted to have it done by 2014 but looks like 2015 is my year. I will go back to exercise but nothing will make you avoid sagging skin. Once you lose volume & elastic only plastic surgery will fix it. I do where girdle Spanx to make me feel better & silicone panties cuz I have no ass now but that's me. Some ppl can deal & manage to live happy with saggy skin & others like me need to have surgery cuz there is no way I'm showing my saggy arms or wearing a bikini in this body. I feel nasty.

Hon, either you're elastic or you're not. Age and highest weight are a factor...I think. I can diet to a certain weight (16-18) and not have loose skin. When I go beyond that it's going to be anyones guess. I haven't been a size 10 since I was 22. I'm 38 now. So.

I do not know of where you can get a girdle like that....but I saved that for me once it's all over until I can have plastics. and I do appreciate it. I've been looking for one with arms!!!!!! I found it for 117 online. Shoot. BARGAIN

I went from 240 to 128 I have minimal sagging in my legs and I mean a little bit and none in my arms. However I've had three children and 3 c sections my stomach looks like a war zone. I wear a size 3-4 in jeans but if I had a tuck it would probably be a 0-2 bc in the 3-4's their baggy in my legs. I'm also five years out. I moisturized my skin a lot also but every body is different. I was n wlsg with a girl who had a washboard stomach after her wls. So it all depends. Don't waste ur money on gimmicks though k.
