MY surgery is tomorrow and I thinking stacking up on those to wear under jeans and tops any suggestions or thoughts? I will get surgery handle the loose skin but in the meantime I might wear those

Check with your doctor, because I've heard that they don't recommend restrictive garments for a while after surgery during the healing process. Especially while the incisions are healing. If you're talking about what to wear weeks and week after surgery, that's probably a personal choice depending on what fits you best! So far what I've found is not to really pre-buy anything - wait until you actually need it. (I start my 5th week post op tomorrow and am donating Soups and whey powder to whoever will take it. I seriously over bought pre-op). Good luck tomorrow!

I have lost 128 pounds and don't need spanks! wait till you drop the weight to buy anything, you might not even need it! congrats on the surgery

I would reccomend waiting until you are post op and trying things on as you go. I learned the hard way no stocking up on ANYTHING post op, because I found I usually wasted my money!!

I am 4 months post op and just bought my first tank type Spanx for the loose skin. I would definitely wait! Good luck with your surgery!

I also recommend waiting- it will be several weeks after surgery before you are healed enough to wear them, and by then you might be down a size or two and what you bought won't fit. Also, you won't see loose skin for a few months, and it is hard to predict now what size you might be, or if you will even need them.

Don't stock up!

Things will fit differently, your body will look and feel different, you'll loose weight faster some places than others, etc etc etc.

I didn't wear Shapewear until 3-4 months post op, I think. It really didn't make much of a difference before that, other than the smoothing that I wore it for before surgery.

Good luck!

I like Silkies footless tights, and have worn Spanx before, too.
