I'm back and I need undewear!!!
Seriously, I haven't been here since pretty much right after surgery. Life got insanely busy - I have 2 kids under 3, I'm working 2 jobs (both part time) and I've been just SO busy with life that PC time has been limited. I very much miss everyone's support though and decided while I had 15 min to come back, say hello to everyone and ask a very important question-
Can any woman out here recommend a good type of undewear that will hold it all in?? I know this is an odd question but since I've lost so much weight (50lbs since my surg 3 months ago plus 15-20lbs preop) I have a skin apron that seems to fall through the bottom of my undee's and leaves a funky buldge in my pants. We're heading to Disney World this weekend and I desperately need to go buy some undewear, but I wanted to know if anyone has found any good one's that hold it all in?? KWIM?????

Lane Bryant has a good kind. They come in thong and breifs. They hold in your tummy and give you good suppot. I cant remember the name, but they look really small. Go in and ask for this product and someone will show it to you.

Hey Denise, Wow congrats on the weight you have lost. Have you tried any of these plus size clothing stores. Well many places carry them. They have these undies called boy shorts. They are very comfy and they have some that support the tummy area. Hope this helps. Have fun at DisneyLand.

I always liked the underwear at Victoria Secrets. They have some that have a thicker band around the stomach and it always held mine in, even before surgery. Now I wear things that can barely be called underwear.

I found some decent shapewear at walmart that have extra support...it is difficult though as it gets warmer.

Thanks ladies. As I'm currently pressed for time I think I'll try Walmart first and then if I strike out there I'll head to a plus size store at the mall and see what I can fine. I don't want to spend a fortune as the undewear I just bought 6 wks ago no longer fit (and thus my tummy is falling through the bottom where my legs are supposed to be by themselves...).

I guess I am lucky I havent had to buy any. I worked for lane bryant for a while and I have over 100 pairs. I just throw them out when they start to feel to baggy. I still have a drawer full! Good luck!

Woo Hoo! I bought some- in a size 9 (3 months ago it was a size 13 so while I'm still fat, I'm LESS fat and MUCHO happy about it).

I have had great success with Sears and JC Penny. Lots to choose from.
