I am currently 7 weeks post op and am healing really well. I used to waist train before the surgery and want to get back into it. Is it too soon to start? The waist trainer is not that insanely tight, is it a matter of me being able to bear it at this stage? And I know I know I should ask my surgeon etc

Yep, agreed, I would ask. I would be very careful with anything compression related. Better safe than sorry?

Have you had success with waist training? I've always been interested in the concept but figured it would need to wait until after I have surgery because of my size.

I was thinking of using a waist trainer as a girdle because the stomach skin and such is just making my clothes fit strangely.

If not a waist trainer... Any other suggestions for hiding the gifts of my weight loss?

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
