I'm also looking for some comfortable "underwear" that will support my belly. I have side and back problems due to my weight loss. Something that is affordable would be nice. Thank you. :-)

Can you get a maternity belt or the tummy sleeve at a store like Walmart? I live in a small hick town in the Midwest. Not many local options.

When I had surgery I got a abdominal binder from my doctor. It was a life saver the first two weeks. Check with your doctor's office.

I'm 8 weeks out tomorrow. Will an abdominal binder still help me? I need it to hold my lower stomach (muffin top) up and in.

Does your lower stomach hurt? The binder is pretty bulky. If you are just looking for something to hold you in cause of loose skin I would just use a griddle since it's smooth and cant see under clothes.

It hurts from loose skin hanging. I'm looking for girdle underwear I guess. Lol!

I use kymaro body shapers. You can get them at Walmart or drug stores that sell "as seen on tv" stuff. I like the camis because of the clear thin straps, but I think those you gotta find online (amazon/eBay). I know a lot use Spanx which you can get almost anywhere.

There are tons of options for things to suck your tummy in. It's all a matter of personal preference.

      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.
