compression garments



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, My question today is on compression garments that I have seen people reference. (Where I am at is that I have completed 24 wks of classes, and have appt with surgeon, psych, internist on 05/06) Are compression garments similar to Spanx? Are they recommended during weight loss for the aesthetic appearance of no loose skin? I would like to get something to keep my stomach area in, but am not having tons of luck sifting through the information on the internet.

My RN after bypass told me its best to wear compression garments to support muscle that may cause pain after surgery (like I was having).. You can find them for $20 on Amazon, just like Maternity garments.

I wear Spanx type garments under anything that needs smoothing. I also wear compression shorts and a tank top whenever I work out. I run and it keeps the rolls of skin from jiggling too much. Unfortunately, I am getting smaller so fast that things go from skin tight to loose really fast! That kind of puts an end to its compression ability and that stuff is spendy. :P

This is a great question! I had a sleeve almost 2 weeks ago and I feel FANTASTIC! I have so much energy I'm all over the place BUT at times I have a strange sensation of "falling out"- meaning the area where they dug my port out feels like it's gonna just go "plop!" It reminds me of how I felt after 2 C sections. Will a compression garment help this sensation?

I highly recommend Slimpressions! They work wonders and are incredibly comfortable. They also have a top that includes arm support which had been a life saver with helping hide all the excess skin!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
