Waist trainers post plastics



Recommended Posts

Ask your surgeon

You will wear compression garments post op but waist training is way more extreme. The extent of my knowledge is someone in a private FB group I am in was committed to waist training and has in fact had post plastics complications. My sample of one tells me not such a great idea.

I've seen the commercial for those things many times. It's the name, "...trainer," that gets me. It smacks of "Story of O."

Also Barbie's "natural-born" shape during her earlier days, although I don't quite see the difference since she was supposedly redesigned not to give little girls distorted ideas of women's bodies.

I'll omit my opinion on the aesthetics, as it's just mine.

I'm not sure about a waist trainer.Did you have surgery yet? You may find that after surgery and you heal, that you might not feel the need to use one because you will have the shape you are looking for.

I did wear an ab binder for several months post op - probably 5 months. My surgeon told me the longer I can put up with wearing it, the better the results. For several months I couldn't imagine going without it because it just gave me more support. I've considered a waist trainer now that I'm a bit further out, but honestly, with the Lipo on my waist that he did with the TT I don't really think there is much of a need for it. You can see the nice curves he gave me in my blog (linked below) if you're interested. He did an awesome job. :-)

Yes ive had a full body lift. And i do use spankx and my binder depends on the clothing i wear. But i was just wondering.

Ahh...I see.

Not sure if you all realize but waist training is severe and actually changes your shape internally...this isn't about smooshing skin. This is what tranny guys do, it is what Victorian era rich women did. I encourage you to really research this. Compression garments are great, but this is a big step.

That's right ... people who sell waist trainers will NOT post anything bad about them.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
