Compression garments?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone invested in compression garments? I hear they help keep things in place and help reduce skin stretching. I've checked out two sites and one is outrageously priced and the other is more reasonable. Any input is greatly appreciated.

I have. I bought yoga pants & a top from Lane Bryant and a few pairs of pants from Old Navy. I don't know if it helps but it keeps me from feeling all jiggly as I lose.

I was sent home with one from the hospital although they have similar versions at Walgreens. It was a compression belt that was about 8 or 10 inches long so it covered my torso. It helped immensely during the first couple of weeks. I highly recommend one.

I buy shape wear from Maidenform it's their self expression line. They have ones that are just tank tops that you can wear with your own underwear or ones that have snap crotch built in underwear. They are priced from $22-$28 & can be found at Target & Walmart. I have lose skin & it helps me feel comfortable & look good in clothes.

I agree. In addition to my workout compression wear I have few body shapers that help me look better in clothes. I wear a lot of dresses so my favorite is this long slip. I prefer this over the ones that come to just above the knee and always manage to roll up.

I wear a shaper under my clothes and shape leggings. I love them! I feel more like woman with them on. I didnt do the compression after surgery, I wish I did. I know it helps with the pain.

I don't wear them. I'm down 102 pounds. Both my arms and my legs jiggle. So why not wear them? Because I figure come summer time it's going to be too hot to wear them and I need to get use to my body as is. In jeans and long sleeve shirts things look fine. And the pants squish in my belly anyway. The only thing I wear that keeps things in place is a sports bra that holds what use to be my boobs.

Ditto. I wear it to run (usually under armor) but that's about it. And even then typically only for races or longer runs (over 6 miles)

      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.
