Garments

Help....what garments are comfortable,  but yet helpful, in keeping skin droopage at bay! 

I think everyone has a favorite brand .. you need to just try some on and see what you like.  They come in different degrees of compression.  I like the Flexees (not sure of spelling) myself.  

Might be a silly question, but when people talk about compression garments are they just for women?

I'll tell you what Dale, I highly doubt Gene Simmons or Paul Stanley could squeeze into their outfits these days without one.

 

And even if they did somehow manage... oh great. 

That's a mental image I could totally have lived without.

I think I just lost another piece of my childhood.

There is Spanx for men.  They have compression t-shirts and underwear.  Here's the link below.

I was being serious when I asked.  It;s not a topic I've seen on here much so I just wanted to know if it's something we all should consider as RNY or WLS patients in general, or if it's something that's generally used only by women. 

Me either...that is why I asked, at our support group someone mentioned it so I am wondering if everyone needs it or just a few.  AND... brands, of course I want to be comfortable.

i have a pair of spanx i use if i wear a dress, which is once every 50 years, yes im only 32. they make me sit up straight, they make my curves look just right, but they take an hour to put on, LOL. god forbid i had to go potty once they were on! but they make me feel good! not something id wear every day though!
