Totally random Q, but makes sense to me.



Recommended Posts

Sooo...as my screen name implies, I work in the museum business. I often do period interpretation in the fall/winter. I am wondering if having a sleeve will prohibit me wearing a corset under my dresses. I dont know any sleeved history interpreters to ask.

Do any of you have trouble wearing corsets? I wear mine ad tight as what I can stand for the evening so that the clothing falls properly.

Anyone?

Eventually it should not be a problem. Check with Dr. for dates.

I can't quite speak from direct experience, but binders and compression garments are standard fare after the reconstruction (tummy tucks, lower body lifts, etc.) that many of us go through to get rid of the excess skin after all the weight is off, so it seems like a reasonable bet. It sure seems like I'm wearing a corset much of the time!

I wouldnt think it should be an issue once you are fully healed from surgery...there is still life after wls

I own and wear several corsets for sexy time with the boyfriend ;)

Just wait until your internal stitches are healed and you will be good to go

Thank you for asking this question, Museum-Mama! I wear corsets too, as part of my renaissance festival hobby/obsession. I plan to attend at least a couple during August and September, and I lace 'em quite snugly. You got me the answer to a question I hadn't even thought to ask yet--wow, you're good! ;)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
