Compression/slimming shirts



Recommended Posts

Any one have good recommendations on compression/slimming shirts you have found successful?

I am finally in an XL down from a 5XL,however, I still have a little of a belly, mainly just fat, and it looks like I am smuggling a tire.

I use the compression shirts sold at eastbay.com I've tried others, but I like that these shirts are a little longer, and I can tuck them in my pants, without fear of the plumbers crack... yeah, I am still self conscious... I hope this helps! and Congrat's on your success!!!

Thanks, it looks like they have a nice selection. Do they normally run the right size or should I get a size smaller/bigger?

I wear a large shirt, but buy the medium compression shirt. So I would go one size smaller then you wear. The prices are very reasonable.

Is a compression shirt like an undershirt that you wear?

Yes! They go under your clothes - like Spanx for men! In fact, I think Spanx makes things for men now as well! I love my Spanx - they just kind of smooth everything out!

I was thinking of trying one and see if it keeps my belly from flapping about while trying to run.

I'm a highschool football coach and I have access to dozens of compression shorts and shorts....one to two sizes smaller provides great support and comfort for me....

There are quite a few on Amazon for decent prices, I got the Superman one seen in my avatar for $19 /free shipping on Amazon. I've also got some under armor ones. I **LOVE** my compression gear!

Red Plume Compression Gear great prices, just understand they come from Korea/China and take a little longer in shipping.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
