I have been told that after so long I will be picking up something to wear underneath my clothes like Spanx or other support under garment. However, when I look at the prices, I am thinking it might be easier to just wear loose fitting clothes. I know I have to stabilize for 18 months before I can have any skin or tissue reduction. What do I do in the meantime? Can anyone give me a clue as to what the normal course of events will be?

You don't need to wear expensive name-brand Spanx Shapewear. Shapers and other undergarments are relatively affordable when they are generic, no-name types.

Also, we only need perhaps two to four pieces of shapewear at the most.

Spanx as expensive and complete crap.

There are lots of low cost options. You can buy Shapewear at Target and Walmart.

I get shapewear on ebay, at Ross, and the outlet stores. I rarely pay more than $20, usually around $30. I have a few pricer pieces but I don't even wear them anymore. The more I lose and the longer I am weight stable ish , the less my skin is an issue. I don't have to wear sleepwear now but I like it under short dresses and skirts just for security. :lol:

Wearing loose clothes when you have loose skin is probably the most uncomfortable thing you can possibly do. If you really have loose skin it will just flop around and be painful. Tight, structured clothes work the best. Cheap stretchy clothes are pretty much the worst.

      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! 😞
