Compression Garment
$7,000
I was asked about my CG. The compression garment I have is one from my doctors office. I did buy a foundation garment at Dillards when I got frustrated with my stage 1 and my stage 2 had not arrived yet. I will tell you that the ones that are not medical grade, even though they're excellent foundation garments are just simply not made for 24 hour wear even if they do provide strong enough support. You may notice that when you try to wear them for that long. I believe it's in the material and seams-the ones for 24 hr wear are smoother and softer without compromising compression. this of course is just my opinion- but anyways this is the information on the one I have. The brand is ISAVELA. they do have a website. Hope that helps.

My fave pants
I commented about being so happy with my clothes now. It can be seen in this old pair of khakis. They are several years old- and even when I bought them they never fit like THIS! I had stopped being able to wear them at all about 8 months ago... But they are back in the lineup

It feels good doesn't it? I've had to have a clear out of work trousers the baggiest I've given to charity and the ones I no longer could fit in I've had my sister take them in at the sides!!! AND the weekend I bought a pair of UK size 6!!!!!!! Very happy with that. Still swelling and sore but happy. 56kg suits me just fine!! :)

Congrats! Even though I've lost inches of fat, the scale only moved 1 lb. :-/ I'll take it though!!

Me, too! Very little weight change but so much smaller! I'll take this better shape any day over less pounds! If I compared my shape 15 lbs. ago vs. now, I'd pick now!

You look trim and fit! Hi, would you mind sharing a picture of the front of the compression garment? I am petrified of having work done because I am not sure I will be able to stand the CG--I put a pair of Spanx on and wore it almost all day and was so uncomfortable and there were unsightly bulges around my waist-whatever you are wearing looks very smooth--can you also share the brand and type? If you prefer not to share the pic, that is totally fine!

I wasn't planning on so much weight loss. I recall Guiseppe saying to me yr lose weight naturally also as a part of the procedure but all I was focused on was get rid of my budda belly. And that he did :). You guys are looking fab!!

two weeks post op
my belly is feeling better every day- the few areas that feel tight or lumpy are improving although i feel pain when I do the massaging. What I am thoroughly enjoying is my clothes! Yikes, I must have been busting at the seems before. Now it all feels terrific!

Looking good! I know what you mean about the clothes. It's amazing! I was thinking my pants wouldn't fit as nicely without my garment, but the fit even better! Even though it is thin, I thought the compression was making a huge difference. Ummmm, no! The surgery made a huge difference! I am SO ready to be without the garment during the day and binder at night, though. :) I actually think I will feel better without it.

You look great! This gives me encouragement that it will all be worth it. I go in next week and am very nervous of the whole thing. I have said before that I am a "skinny fat girl" too. I'm soooo ready to be rid of the dreaded muffin top I can never get rid of. Your posts have given me hope that this is worth it! Thanks and keep enjoying your clothes!
