I literally just came home with $5 one from Walmart exercise section. It was recommended by another poster.

I'm also in search of one but am getting a bit confused as i research. i'm not looking to wear something everyday all day...i'm not concern with rolls...what i am looking is something to work out in and train/reshape by body(mid section). so i'm torn between a c-section garment or a exercise waist slimming belt. my stomach giggles at Spanx.

i tried the Walmart slimming belt preop and it was too snug. i said i was going to go to sport authority and see what they have.

any ideas are greatly appreciated.

it was recommended to me by another poster to wear after surgery. helps you move around in bed, sit up, etc.

Hi ... So I'm confused .. Why do you need a binder.... Can I wear my Spanx or do i need something tighter??????

Queenlylocs, I'm not sure that anyone really *knows* what kind of Shapewear is best, or how effective it will be. Just like everyone loses weight differently, people's skin may shrink back (or not shrink back) differently. For me personally, I am looking for something that will have firm enough support to really suck everything in (after the tenderness of the incisions has subsided), and I plan to wear it as much as possible. I probably won't wear spanx because I don't like how they feel on and mine always tend to roll down at the top. I'm sure there isn't really any comfortable shapewear, but there's got to be something I can stand better than spanx...

Good luck, all. I'll let you know if I find anything great. I'm going to check out the Gabrialla Breathable Elastic Abdominal binder for Women that scubadottie found on Amazon...

Is using a belly binder new after WLS? It seems to have become a big topic lately. How well is it working for people? Long term results?

I used an ace bandage for first week. I thought it was a godsend!

It made it so much easier to sit up for longer periods as well as get in & out of bed.

I did research a lot of different types but ended up going with something simple.

I am never gonna look at a woman again without wondering what kind of contraption she is using under her cloths & what she would look like if it wasnt there.

lol believe me its not magic. tried Spanx. sucks. they sorta spread out the fat so you don't see lumps. i think i'd rather have the lumps.

pretty sure it was invented by the same person who decided women should wear panty hose, underwire bra and foot binding for tiny feet. sadistic sob :)

if you see a woman and she is wearing such a contraption admire her for her inner strength and her willingness to submit to torture for your viewing pleasure :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
