Not promoting a product..Just a good shopping find.

I found this at Burlington Coat Factory. $9.99 Firm fabric,Hook eye and zip front. This has worked better for me than Spanx.< /p>

Thanks for the tip Jenn1! I hate Spanx. They do nothing but "smooth" the fat. Uncomfortable at that too!

Thanks for the tip! I have used Spanx, but would like something else. I just ordered this item to try.

Things like this is why I like bariatric pal!

@@jenn1 Thanks for the tip. I will have to give it a try. I just paid almost $90 for a Spanx body suit and like someone else posted all it did was smooth things out. I need something made of steel to hold my stomach in.

How does the size run? I brought a size small in the spanx and wear a size 6 pants and usually a medium shirt.

The sizes are a bit weird on me. I had to try them on. In a size small my skin didn't want to cooperate. I went a size up and it worked so much better.

I do recognize the tip that these are easier to put on from the bottom up...Difficult to do from top down

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
