waist training after gastric bypass



Recommended Posts

This is the progress just from the first four days of seasoning(Seasoning your corset is the process of slowly breaking in your corset. It allows the steel bones of the fabric to slowly mold to your shape and will result in a longer lasting, more comfortable corset. The seasoning process also gives your body some time to adjust to the pressure of a corset.) 🤯 the corset isn’t even fully seasoned till the month mark. I’m just mad at myself for waiting this long to get one 😂. I definitely recommend it! I got mine from alteregoclothing.com.

Don’t just buy one tho message them on Facebook with your measurements and photos (add that your currently loosing weight also) and they will recommend a style and size based off your measurements and body shape. The page on Facebook is “alter ego clothing”

How hot are they to wear? I just can’t imagine wearing one in the summer. I can’t even imagine wearing on in the winter time in Phoenix!

Didn’t corsets go out with the Victorians? Do we really need to put ourselves through that kind of discomfort?

How did you find out about these? Do you know anyone that has permanent results? Or do you have to wear forever? Not much information on their website...

Anything that involves the Steele rods/elastic support, etc...actually decreases muscle tone. That's probably why it is able to shape you. In the 80's all Abdominal surgery were wrapped in these waist binders. Then back injuries jumped on board. Any back pain you got a back brace/support. When you took it off the poor muscle tone caused more bad then good. Oh forgot if you fractured a rib we did chest wraps, not sure how many pneumonia that caused but it was a common side effect. Like the old saying goes if you don't use it you loss it.....Ask you surgeon or PCP

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
