Are you talking corset waist training?

yes,that is the big thing,my daughter has been doing it and lost 8 inches in 60 days,she had gastric sleeve 3 yrs ago

What the heck is waist training?

It's the ridiculous (in my opinion) fad where women/girls wear tight corsets to have an unnaturally narrow waist. Didn't we learn anything in the 19th century?

Bring on the fainting couches.

I started waist training in my 5th month out from surgery. Your size of corset will change rapidly with weight loss. I'm on my third corset.

Here is an overview including health risks.

It is a body modification. We are all adults this is a choice that may not be for everyone. I like that you train for a few months and you get an hour glass figure. After not having a waist for so long it's a nice change.

I would think from a health stand point it would be a really bad idea. My Dr said that your sleeve is not completely heeled for two - three months.

The garment my daughter gave me is a latex girdle style not corset,she went from xl garment to small size garment in 90 days,so she passed them to me,which in my opinion can only support the stomach. I havr read articles about post op surgical garments,this is the same in comparison. To each his own.

I wore the spandix for the first few weeks after my surgery and it worked wonders for me, but now I am happy with my new look and I don't think this would be for me but nice to know it works for others.

Sounds like you knew the answer before you ask. Sorry you are not getting the answers that you want. But you did ask. Maybe your surgeon would be your best source of advice on this.

What brand of corsets and spandex are you guys using. Where can I purchase? Iv e watched many YouTube videos on waist training and o so t want the extreme but a little help might be something to think about

@soonergal91go to hourglass.com or ardyss.com,they are most reasonable,you can also just google waist trainers too.

Thanks!

Just want to say waist training and Corseting are two different things. You can absolutely be 100% healthy and not lose muscle tone while training or Corseting. With that said, if you are waist training it is latex like a compression garmet. Talk to your Dr. Sometimes they are recommend after some surgery's. But only your Dr can tell you whats right. Corseting, since it is more rigid, I would definitely wait before putting one back on and wait till I am completely healed. Also, Real Corsets are expensive, wait till you are at your goal to start purchasing them they are a real investment and spending that kind of money for something you can only fit for a month is a waist.
