So this might be a stupid question, but I'm curious to see if anyone with the the band has done or is doing waist training?

What are your thoughts?

I have never heard of this. Please tell me more!

Waist training is a gradual process of waist reduction using a latex waist cincher or corset ,Also known as waist cinching this practice came to prominence during Victorian times.

I didn't know about Plication when I got banded but I am interested in that -- those people do very well and it's just a stitch or two, right? As for a corset, the other day I bought a piece of Shapewear. It was a riot trying that stuff in -- felt like I needed a dresser! The one I got has hooks and eyes down the front and it is tight. I wore it out for a concert evening 4-5 hours and was glad to take it off again. But I felt so held together, flat tummy. Loved that.

I read about the waist training and it was interesting. I am such an apple shape. I would love to have a smaller waist. I am losing my tummy, but I wish I had some curves. No butt, no hips...so a smaller waist would be amazing.

From what I have read and seen on a documentary it is unhealthy for the organs to be restricted and there are health risks. Check with your Dr.
