    I'm also looking for some comfortable "underwear" that will support my belly. I have side and back problems due to my weight loss. Something that is affordable would be nice. Thank you. :-)

Can you get a maternity belt or the tummy sleeve at a store like Walmart? I live in a small hick town in the Midwest. Not many local options.

I don't know I was looking online and saw a place called motherhood...if I find something out I will let you know

When I had surgery I got a abdominal binder from my doctor. It was a life saver the first two weeks. Check with your doctor's office.

I'm 8 weeks out tomorrow. Will an abdominal binder still help me? I need it to hold my lower stomach (muffin top) up and in.

Does your lower stomach hurt? The binder is pretty bulky. If you are just looking for something to hold you in cause of loose skin I would just use a griddle since it's smooth and cant see under clothes.

It hurts from loose skin hanging. I'm looking for girdle underwear I guess. Lol!

Pretty In Purple I use the "Seamless Cinched Cami Plus" at catofashions.com ....the majority of my weight is in the middle and it works miracles, not uncomfortable and holds things in lol they are $11.99...they also have the underwear too but i just stick to the cami...hope this helps =)

Oh thank you! I have a credit card for there too! WooHoo!! I see a trip to Cato's in the very soon future! :-)

I use kymaro body shapers. You can get them at walmart or drug stores that sell "as seen on tv" stuff. I like the camis because of the clear thin straps, but I think those you gotta find online (amazon/eBay). I know a lot use spanx which you can get almost anywhere.

There are tons of options for things to suck your tummy in. It's all a matter of personal preference.

Do the Kymaro's work well? Holds ya up and in?

Hey Brittany....The Binder you mentioned...When you had your surgery was that something that mainly held your stomache muscles from say falling forward or something? I'm having pain still where my drain tube was run from and was thinking something like an ace bandage, girdle or something to hold those muscles close so not to hurt....I'm going on week two from surgery and all my other insicions are fine except the one where the excess stomache was removed and drain tube ran from the left side and it hurts like hell...Maybe i should just give it time....???? Or maybe look for the binder....hmmm???

thank you for your help
