(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

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
