Hello im currently new to this site and posting thing here but there is question that i dont often see asked or discussed while doing youtube research and online research which is if you did how long did you wait to waist train or wear compression garments after your surgery.? and if you did use these items how well did they work and will you upload progress photos if possible.

Compression without boning in it, feels great on your stomach and it will help with pain and gas. Some surgeons send people home with binders.

Waist training with steel boning is a no-no early on. You have too much swelling in your abdomen.

Later as you lose weight and you are being active, you will want to wear compression clothes as you work out for better muscle recover and in my case I wear them to help deal with loose skin/floppy fat (I am pretty jiggly at this point).

Also I will say that I wouldn't purchase anything too expensive. I have a couple workout compression vest I have purchased and I size out of them very rapidly. I don't think I am going to buy anymore until goal weight/plastic surgery happens.

Thank-You so much for your response i have been wondering this alot.! and how is it going with excess skin is it something that can be prevented or something that would in the end have to surgically removed.?

I'm not done losing yet, but I am going to have excess skin removed when I get there. I am pretty flabby although it is improving. I feel like I might be able to get away with not having my thighs done in the end. Arms and Tummy Tuck are a must.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
