Compression Garments



Recommended Posts

I have my date sent for Nov 30, the problem is that I'm having questions regarding the extra skin. I'm young and my skin still has some give to it, now i have been reading a lot about how people have used compression garments to help give them a nice figure prior to have any surgery at all so i was thinking if I were to use compression garments the ones they use like after full body Lipo and the ones the use for there arms after surgery also do u think that will help alot with the extra skin and my skin tighten, I have heard that using sulfur soap and dsmo (what every that is) also helps so if anyone has and ideas please let me know.

If you are going to lose a lot of weight fast save the money, the garments will not stop the sagging skin from coming. You were the compression clothing after to keep things together. With exercise and the compression wear (I like Under Armour) I show a good form.

How do you think molding the skin is going to help once you lose 40 pounds quick? Being younger, you skin will have a little more elasticity but still you will have loose skin. Think of it like soft ear plugs, once you pull them out they puff back out.

      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! 😞
