Spanks and Other Under Garments



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone:

I will be having my surgery on Auguest 2nd and was wondering if anyone wears special garments to help with the flabby skin.

I was thinking of getting some spanks and Dr. Rey has some special under garments that might help.

Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Debbie

I was going to get some spanks, but looked at the price tag and did not get them.

OMG! They are how much?!:)

They are like $36 at Lane Bryant and I am the cheapest person I know but my Spanx have been my BEST investment. I look so much more smooth in outfits and not so lumpy and rolls all over the place. I love them and they last forever. I have like 2 pairs and they are genius inventions. They are much better than a panty girdle because they go up to almost under the breasts on me and down to my knees(the one I get) They stay up and don't roll down(God send)

I also suggest the brand called bodywraps. Can ususally be found in a lingerie store. Pricey, but even more comfortable than spanxs and all one piece so no tearing of lining etc. Oh and they make u look great!

For body smoothing, if you can stand wearing things like that, they do that job brilliantly. Personally, I can only stand them for the most formal outfit, for everyday wear, I'd rather let it all hang out, lol. It gets so hot and uncomfortable being bound up.

If you mean to help PREVENT loose skin, then no, they wont do that. Although some garments are advertised to do just that, dont be fooled. Loose skin occurs when the collagen bonds in your skin are broken and that happens as you GAIN weight more so than as you lose it, your fat merely disguises loose stretched out skin that is ALREADY there. Nothing you wear and no cream you apply is going to change that. Its down to genetics and nothing more.

      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!
