I wore mine for a couple days. It was really rubbing on my arm pits (I’ve got incisions there from my arm lift). Today I wore my Abdominal binder again and some waist cincher leggings. I’ve ordered two pairs of shorts style fajas that’ll be delivered on Wednesday. The full body suit thing isn’t going to work for me until my arm pits are more healed up.

When I had arm incisions I used thin maxi pads or mini pads (can't remember which) to prevent anything from rubbing against them. I just taped them into my arm pit to cover as much as I could. It worked great.

It really helps. I actually use those along my TY incision so my binder doesn’t rub it.

Hi everyone! Has any one struggled with walking enough bc of how cold it is? I live in MI, sleeved on 1/13 and I don’t feel like I get near enough walking done by just walking around the house. Any recommendations are welcome too!

I live in south Texas (Houston)
so don’t have that problem lol anytime it’s been “cold” by Texas standards I still don’t mind walking in it.
Congrats on your sleeve!!

I go out for a run or a walk or a hike every day. If I'm not running, I'll just pile on a bunch of warm clothing plus the appropriate outerwear. I even started wearing my mask during these outings cuz they really help to keep me warm!

(If I'm running I wear much less...for mobility, plus i generate enough warmth with the exertion).

P.S. I'm in Toronto so prolly similar weather as you ❤️

3 weeks PO-
Had an appt yesterday to check everything and all looks great! Still swollen above the incision line on the TT but that’s is completely normal. We took tape off of TT and breasts this week as well.
Almost walking straight up. Feeling great and VERY happy with my results!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
