Does anyone wear body-girdles? Kinda like a compression girdle?



Recommended Posts

So- body girdles are huge for post-surgery so help the skin tighten up and you don't have so much extra skin. The have ones that come down to your knees and have a cap sleeve, leaving room for your bra. These are huge in the Hispanic communities. Anyone try them?

I used them with all my back surgeries and they are dreadful. Additionally. Yes you would be all tucked in while wearing but it's because it's compressing everything including your organs. So once you take it off for a bit and gravity puts everything back where it should be then it was a waste of comfort. I never had long term tightened skin from them and I would always lose weight with the surgeries. Just my experience. Your skin will tighten according to genetics and exercise and health. Wraps and cynchs are only a temporary fix. If someone rubs honey on their stomach and the skin gets tight they'll say it's the honey. If their sister uses vinegar and her stomach tightens she will say it was the vinegar. We will never truly know what will tighten as you can't really compare and case study. I say be active, LOTS of Vitamins and moisturize, and wear spanks when you need that extra tuck for an outfit ????

I wear Spanx on occasion, I chose the size bigger than I am just so it doesn't restrict the organs or what not. I regret not starting it as soon as i could though, soooooooo much skin ????????

You can wear them right after surgery. Mine helped with the incision pain. I prefer shaper leggings and tank tops with built in underwire bra. Easier to take off to pee. I got a spanks arm slimmer. It was $20.00 bucks and works great but it is sheer and I don't think it will last long.

I look a size smaller and lots more toned in shape ware.

I wore a band for the first week while up and about to help hold everything. Note I try to wear out for an hour or do everyday to help train my stomach muscles. Even when I don't have it on I can feel the difference in my stomach muscles. Just make sure it's supportive, not too tight.

      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.
