I can't stand to be restricted..girdles hurt. . What options do i have? The belly is hanging and in my lap..i bought a couple of girdle type things and they roll... what is everyone using?v something comfortable....if there is such a thing!!

Flexees are really nice. They smooth and hold in without feeling restricted. The key is to buy the correct size.

Girdles (and bras) are like space heaters duct taped to your body.

Bali makes a really nice, supportive pair of under ware. They are cotton with an extra panel on the front. They make a huge difference. They are supportive without being restrictive. I buy them at Kohls. They are like 2 pair for $25. I am a fan.

I found a pair of spanx type high waisted underwear in a size too big really really helped without being too tight or uncomfortable.

I'm sure looking for some of these online tomorrow...i know when i was wearing the surgical band things were shaping better

Any problem with rolling waistbands or legs that ride up?

I bought a few pairs of compression yoga pants. Both Old Navy and Lane Bryants sell them for a reasonable price. They are high waisted and really comfortable. I also have a pair of no name high waited body shaper panty like things. I think the higher waist helps keep them from rolling.

@@Miss Mac, I don't find that the Flexees roll but only when it's the right size. All of them roll when they're too small.
