(I am sure this has been discussed but the search function never works for me <_<)

I am wanting to start wearing a compression top, maybe even leggings? does any one have any advice on what kind/where to buy?

I don't really want a top that squishes "the girls" too much, but I want everything else compressed. I'm tryingto avoid too much sag.... I'm not even sure if this will work but it's worth a try.

I can't answer your garment question, but I can help with the search function.

Go to the search bar and type in COMPRESSION. Now, to the right of the search box is a real faint teeny tiny arrow that points downward. Hit that, and you will see a drop-down menu. The first option is TOPICS. I hit that and got one result, which was your post. The second option is FORUMS. When I hit that one, I got 1,000 results.

Just make sure when you search that you have the FORUMS option open. You will get much better results.

I don't wear compression garments as I found them snug years ago. I do however wear a cami under my shirts which is tucked in and helps smooth things out. I've also found that wearing thicker tights under my dresses does a great job of sucking in the thigh flab/loose skin.

I have a pair of leggings from Kohls that have a compression band that nearly reaches my boobs. I love them and they are very comfortable and they really smooth me out. They are near the lingerie section, not mixed with the regular clothes.

They make compression wear that lets you wear your own bra.It gives you a extra lift in the bust. I will send you a link when I get home.

Target has a compression cami/bra in one that I love. Been using them for a while and post surgery came in handy. It has a built in bra

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
