What about that belly?

[Ree 215]

For those of you who are much farther out from having had your surgery, what are you using that works well to hold in all the loose skin around the stomach? I can pretty much tell that I will need something to help with a lot of loose skin around my stomach but I'm not sure what would work well to hold everything in. Any suggestions?

Moved over to the General discussion as the Vet's forum is meant to be reserved for members over a year out.

To answer your question, though, I bought a bunch of compression shirts, shorts and pants. When I exercise, they help to keep everything from moving. Under Armour was the brand I choose, but there are many other options out there. I was also able to pick up a few from Goodwill, so you may want to check them out.

I have heard of folks using Spanx, too. Do a site search for compression garments. I'm sure you will find a ton of results as it is an oft discussed topic.

I have a nice little tight tummy, so mine shrunk with me with no loose skin. But I hear a lot of others here mention Spanx.< /p>

Sorry Pdx, I posted on the veterans side originally because I figured that they would have the most insight on this topic. Thank you for the suggestions, I'll look into what Spanx is and if that might work. I was thinking a corset but I would imagine that it would be very difficult to move around easily in one of those.

Im familiar with the corset. I brought one that fits like a vest, and its actually also made to workout in. It works great, I wear it about 12 hrs out the day and it also trains your waistline. I have to order a smaller size because its not tight as it was because of the weight loss.

What is the brand? and where did you find it? I would love something like that, once I lose most of my excess weight.

Are you familiar with instagram? Thats where I ordered mine. Search yourcloset1 I think she also have a website not sure. She emails you the invoice and you pay through paypal. Shipping is 3 days I think. Its better to have while you are losing the weight. I find it very good when excercising. Keeps everything in place.

I have heard of instagram but I am not familiar with it. I am going to look into it though and see if I can find what you are talking about. Thank you!

This is the link http://instagram.com/yourcloset1 you can go visit and look at some of the pictures to get a idea of how it works. And thats a picture of mines. Its a side pic, so you really can't see the front but its similar to bra hooks. It helped my stomach a lot. Im going to attach a before picture so you can see the difference.
