Alternate To Tummy Tuck



Recommended Posts

I was just wondering if anyone has tried any alternative to getting plastic surgery, such as any type of compression clothing, girdles, etc. Do these work at all? Obviously, the summer time would be a problem, but at least in the winter I could look better?

I think a lot of people who have loose skin over here use things made of spandex, its good for keeping loose skin tighter but if its more than skin then i would think more support would be necessary like u would get in a girdle. I have a lot of spare skin and weat tummy control leggings till i can get a TT.

I just hate all that stuff because it feels like punishment! I will wear a Spanx on a very special occasion for a very special dress...but to wear it on a regular basis would make me feel like the fat girl I used to be!

I wear a "control" tank under my shirt every single day. Now I feel uncomfortable without one, like I'm flopping around (much like what I feel like without a bra).

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
