Shapewear For Arms?



Recommended Posts

I have been looking at Shapewear to hold everything in while I shrink -- hoping this will help with the impending saggy skin problem.

Has anyone used any sort of shapewear for the upper arm area? I found these...

...but I'm hoping someone can make a recommendation or speak from experience.

Looks good but even a large seems like it may be small.. I may look into custom garments

A coworker suggested trying panty hose and cutting the tops of the legs off. I mostly wear 3/4 sleeves so I should be able to hide them easily....think I will try it!

Pantyhose -- that's smart thinkin'! I tend to wear 3/4 and long sleeves, so my wings should be hidden, but I'm kind of thinking I might be able to "train" the skin to not droop all willy-nilly when I start shrinking.

Sometimes simple is the answer panty hose. You can sew them to the sport bras and wear them to work 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! 😞
