Compression/Shapewear... again



Recommended Posts

Since plastics, I don't really need muffin top control but i feel the need to wear tight things around my midsection to support myself for exercise. I also still get some swelling (post plastics issue). Spanx just doesn't cut it, I need something a bit more targeted. Anyway, I am experimenting but decided to order a few things:

Will let you know how they work out, but most curious what others are using. I want to take skiing lessons and feel a real need for something to "hold me together" as I tumble down the mountain. :)

Thank you for posting the websites. I am very early on, but I know I will need some heavy duty control in my stomach area. How often do you wear yours? I see a variety of different answers on this.

Okay, I bought:

http://www.herroom.com/rago-6265-pant-liner.shtml

It was comfy and worked great going skiing. i don't need to hold extra skin anymore, but I am about 11 weeks post plastics and still feel like I need something holding me together. I felt like I could have used a bit more compression, but it was comfortable for stuff where you really need to move. Will use it for horseback riding too.

Just ordered:

http://www.herroom.com/Rago-6269-Mid-Calf-Pant-Liner.shtml

It is supposed to be a firmer compression, so not sure yet,

I returned this item

http://www.herroom.com/felina-7643-essentials-seamless-hidden-wire-bustier-bra.shtml

because my waist actually measured bigger with it on! It has such thick layers of fabric, it defeated the purpose.

CGJ do you think those you just ordered would feel comfortable with our lady parts? I hate it when my jeans are snug in that area. Sorry if TMI. :P

Well, the long pants I bought are very comfy and do not apply undue pressure anywhere. We'll see about the new ones. Thanks for the link - always good to check out new stuff!

Okay, I got the next pair of compression capris from herroom. I like them too.

Model Rago 6265 are very comfy, fairly light /med hold but perfect for wearing skiing or horseback riding or working out under other pants. They actually kind of look like capri pants so I wear black undies under them (they have the split crotch) so I can take ski pants off and jeans on in the parking lot and not feel like an exhibitionist. I would not wear them to the gym without something over them, but at home working out they are fine by themselves.

Model Rago 6269 - much firmer control, fabric is slightly scratchier and it is sheer looking so definately not for changing in public...haha.

I had massive plastics back in Oct, my arms, breasts and thighs are fine, but my lower body lift still feels like it needs support. I just feel better, can't explain it. It also keeps any minor swelling at bay. Anyway, I would recommend 6265 for most purposes and for me for working out, but I like the tighter ones for daily wear better I think.

      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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
