So I have the sagging skin making jeans and pants so hard to wear. Anyone have any compression garments they would recommend? 5 months post op (150# in 12 mo’s)

Thank you

Literally ANY compression gear, don't bother spending a lot on popular brand names, walmart/target/amazon all have good, inexpensive compression gear. Don't confuse compression gear with waist trainers, waist trainers are usually for corset and hourglass figure "training" and are not for "holding in sagging skin".

I have several underwire camisoles that I wear instead of a bra because they create a smoother line and jeans/pants look better. I tuck them into regular panties with jeans and into a pair of Shapewear bike shorts with dress pants. I think it helps a lot. I have the most luck finding them at a good price on eBay or stores like Ross Dress For Less and Marshalls. Target and Kohls also carry a line from Sara Blakely (originator of Spanx) called Assets which have a bit better price point.

I cant afford surgery. Shapewear works for me. I found a body shaper at ross that you can wear with your own bra. It's very affordable. It's in this style below.

      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!!
