I know this is more of a cosmetic question, but I was unsure where to post something like this. Sorry if this is not a good place.

I have not really noticed enough sagging to worry about it yet (I got sleeved in January), but I am thinking about things to prepare myself for the future. Does anyone ware shapeware, like Spanx? I am pretty sure I will get some for times I am wearing something a little clingy. I have never worn any before and am want to know what the best brand is? I don't really have a lot of money to spend, but am willing to pay for quality. I don't want to have to buy new shapeware every week because it is garbage or because it does not work.

Let me know what your experience is. Best price? Best quality....control? Comfort?

Great question and I hope there are answers. I also always wondered if you are a size 14 do you buy a size 14 garment or do you buy a smaller size? Do they come in different sizes or S M LG XL ect.. and if you are an XXL do you buy an XL so everything is pulled in better or would that just make it too tight?

I found some Shapewear that I like better than Spanx. It's called classic shapewear. It's great for after tummy tucks too

I bought Spanx 3 yrs ago. Very spendy and was too uncomfortable to wear sitting. I found sweet nothings and Danskins at Walmart. I'm not a walmart shopper but ordered online. Very happy with purchase. Got 5 articles compared to 1 spanx.

I bought a tank top one from jc penneys. It's the kind that go just below your boobs, you wear your own bra. It's comfy, and just enough "hold".

I buy these leotard type things (with a clasp between your legs) from target. I think it was like 20 bucks and it works well. It goes under my bra, so that you don't need to worry about bra size. I am wearing an XL and currently a size 14-18 depending on style.

      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.
