Hi Any ladies wear shapewear after gastric sleeve surgery! I am almost 4 weeks post op and I’m wondering how long I have to wait!!!! TIA

Ms.Mocie I just love my spanks I always have I have a stomach I feel better when it’s tamed lol

I never wore it after WLS (but i did after plastic surgery), but I would think after your incisions have healed up and your scabs are gone (which takes around four weeks), you should be OK to start wearing it. But you might want to confirm with your clinic.

I am a little over 6 weeks out and I know this is weird but I workout in shapewear. Not necessarily Spanx but I have a non name brand panty girdle (i'm ol' skool) I got it from Catherine's. If I workout without the panty girdle, my stomach is on hang time. My incisions have healed and I first wore it about 4 weeks out.

I'm 16 days post op and my nurse said we can start wearing them when out stiches have healed up.. I plan on doing that when I'm all healed on the outside lol

Nah, not weird (i think, lol). I work out with an “abdominal binder” too, one that is geared for exercise. It also helps with back support with lifting, I find.
