(I am sure this has been discussed but the search function never works for me <_<)

I am wanting to start wearing a compression top, maybe even leggings? does any one have any advice on what kind/where to buy?

I don't really want a top that squishes "the girls" too much, but I want everything else compressed. I'm tryingto avoid too much sag.... I'm not even sure if this will work but it's worth a try.

I can't answer your garment question, but I can help with the search function.

Go to the search bar and type in COMPRESSION. Now, to the right of the search box is a real faint teeny tiny arrow that points downward. Hit that, and you will see a drop-down menu. The first option is TOPICS. I hit that and got one result, which was your post. The second option is FORUMS. When I hit that one, I got 1,000 results.

Just make sure when you search that you have the FORUMS option open. You will get much better results.

I don't wear compression garments as I found them snug years ago. I do however wear a cami under my shirts which is tucked in and helps smooth things out. I've also found that wearing thicker tights under my dresses does a great job of sucking in the thigh flab/loose skin.

I have a pair of leggings from Kohls that have a compression band that nearly reaches my boobs. I love them and they are very comfortable and they really smooth me out. They are near the lingerie section, not mixed with the regular clothes.

They make compression wear that lets you wear your own bra.It gives you a extra lift in the bust. I will send you a link when I get home.

Target has a compression cami/bra in one that I love. Been using them for a while and post surgery came in handy. It has a built in bra

      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.
