So I have the sagging skin making jeans and pants so hard to wear. Anyone have any compression garments they would recommend? 5 months post op (150# in 12 mo’s)

Thank you

Literally ANY compression gear, don't bother spending a lot on popular brand names, walmart/target/amazon all have good, inexpensive compression gear. Don't confuse compression gear with waist trainers, waist trainers are usually for corset and hourglass figure "training" and are not for "holding in sagging skin".

I have several underwire camisoles that I wear instead of a bra because they create a smoother line and jeans/pants look better. I tuck them into regular panties with jeans and into a pair of Shapewear bike shorts with dress pants. I think it helps a lot. I have the most luck finding them at a good price on eBay or stores like Ross Dress For Less and Marshalls. Target and Kohls also carry a line from Sara Blakely (originator of Spanx) called Assets which have a bit better price point.

I cant afford surgery. Shapewear works for me. I found a body shaper at ross that you can wear with your own bra. It's very affordable. It's in this style below.

      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?
