brazilianbe: The VS shapewear is called Secret. I bought two embracer (black and nude) which are thongs so they make you still look good in pants/jeans/fitted sweats.

Aw thank you so much! After we talked I went to 2 vs stores and they didn't have those anymore you gotta order online and my surgery is around the corner plus I wanted to try them before makin a decision so I got fleexes. Man aren't those tight! I barely can fit in! Thank you a bunch!

sagal- How do you like the thong version? I think I am going to go get it. I cannot wear the high waisted ones with anything but baggy pants! SERIOUS panty line. brazilianbe- I haven't heard of fleexes? Let me know how you like! Now that I am learning this shapewear stuff is to be worn a long time after I am all about trying new stuff.

Hi girls,

'Fleexes' is a bodyshaper...they have maaany options for you to choose at a decent price..I bought one that you can wear your own bra but I might not be the best person to talk about bodyshapers because I looove wearing them specially in winter...it keeps you warm and make you sooo much more curvy. I bought Large and man, that thing is tight! (I usually wear size M). They run $50 and you can find them at Macy's. I like wearing bodyshapers to compress my body but truth is I dont know how I will feel when I am hurt..that can be very uncomfortable but not because I am wearing a bodyshaper but because Im hurt due to my surgery.
Let me know if you try them later.

:)

A little over 1 wk out. Am back to running...a hangnail hurts more than what I feel now. haha Looking back this was pretty easy breezy...and I love what I see so far. Just waiting until I can get back to lots of core work to see what the real payoff will be. Told my husband the reason I was most excited to get this done is so I can get back to working my abs and hopefully really see them now!

I am no doc, and every body is different. However, my opinion thus far is that this is a great procedure for folks who work out and have 1 or 2 problem areas that don't respond to the gym. I would not suggest this for weight loss. I only lost 500cc of tissue and haven't even weighed myself and don't care! It was just a spot treatment. There is no quick fix for good old sweaty, hard, work. My expectations from this are nothing more than to "boost" what I already do which is working out and eating healthy. I cannot expect perfection from a 2 hr procedure. The doc does their part, and then mother nature and I have to do the rest. That is my feeling on it so far. I think for the price and the time invested I will be happy with the outcome...now I just cross my fingers and see.

Hi Denvergal,

I have a question...those VS panties you said really worked great for you? I wanna get one but because I am also having my love handles, flanks done I am afraid when I sit they will roll over in that area and not stay tight enough..you know when you buy jeans and they roll on the belt line? i suppose that would hurt quite a bit if youare having flanks done.
Sorry 4 asking im trying to find the best body shaper for me.

Thank u sooo much!

Hey brazilianbe! The panties literally go up to my boobs (hot, I know.) They would definitely cover the flank area. They also sell a couple other shapers...I would go to any VS and try them on. You may even want to use the one they give you after surgery 1st and then go try some on after. You will be swollen and the size you buy now may not be comfortable after. I am finding that not that the swelling is going down I wish I had some smaller ones. Best of luck and I hope that helps!
