Recommendations for Support Garments (Abdomen)



Recommended Posts

I'm looking to get some support garments for my stomach to keep the skin from chaffing as my weight drops and for a little comforting pressure on my incisions. I'm not interested in Spanx because I don't want to have to pull anything off just to go to the bathroom. However, it is OK if a recommendation has coverage on the arms or chest.

Thank you all in advance!

I have been curious about this... does it help to have supportive layers during the weight loss, like waist trainers?

For me, I find that the little bit of extra compression helps with comfort. I don't think it actually helps with "shaping" your body or with loose skin, because that's just not the way skin and muscles work, but it at least can keep loose skin from chafing or getting caught in zippers!

Under armour compression shirts are a good option. Decently priced as well. You should be able to find them at any sporting goods stores.

I wear cami's/tank tops by Maidenform Self Expressions. They have a decent amount of compression/support and help hold in my jiggly loose skin and smooths out any of my skin rolls. I have been wearing them since about six months post op. It's nice because they don't interfere with going to bathroom. Also they look decent underneath shirts. I have them in several shades. I order them from Amazon. I find they run true to size. I wear medium tops and order the medium size and it fits nice.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
