Hello all does anyone suggest some kind of shirt to hold in the spare tire look until I could afford to get a Tummy Tuck? Please I don't like how it looks

Have you tried some firm ware or shape ware aka Spanks? These products really work well in the beginning when we have lost but everything still giggles and looks bumpy under our cloths. If you wear the shape ware it will during this phase.

I agree with lovethenewme. Spanx or something like that works great. You can get them at any anchor store like jc penny,bell, sears, and even some smaller stores like Cato.

Spanx has their own website too, but you may want to try some on before you purchase them. I have found that getting a good fit might require a few attempts.

Hope that helps

I wore pre and post surgery, compression garments from marena.com, they do Shapewear too and athletic wear, it is expensive but believe me it is much tougher than Spanx and doesnt make you hot at all. Worth every penny it cost, and wash and wears brilliantly.

The hospital after my surgeries got me the compression legs, compression girdle, compression arms and bra, they are medical standard items and last for ages.

      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.

        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!
