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)

      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.
