Underwear.....Help ladies..... - ThinnerTimes

I'm not quite a year post op but I've lost over 120lbs. So I have this saggy tummy and I need some new underwear badly. I hate having anything role down my tummy.
I've also lost my butt, it's flat, nothing there. This is the awful part of WLS. I will have plastics, but I have to wait.

Any suggestions

I am at about the same place as you. I don't wear them ALL the time but when I need that extra control and actually care about what I look like I wear spanx. I have 2 pair of the shorts that go to the knees and up over my belly. They are WONDERFUL! I wear them when I wear something that I care about how my thighs will look in them and also for under skirts because I still have thigh rub. They do make breifs as well. They are on the pricey side (but well worth it).

You might want to check out either Spiegel's or Newport News's ShapeFX line. They have underwear, butt lifters, and a lot of flattering stuff to hold you in. I know I'm probably not going to get plastic surgery right away, so that's where I'm going to shop when I'm a loser.

Spanx rocks! I don't wear them every day, but under a dress definitely! Also under some pants just to smooth me out. I have a TON of loose skin. My stomach and thighs look awful, they disgust me. Ugh! I doubt I'll ever be able to afford plastic surgery so i'm stuck with it, but I'd rather have the saggy skin than stretched out skin full of fat!

I agree with you Tonya! I looked scary naked before this surgery, I have nothing to lose now.

walmart has a nice "underwear" girrdle CUPID and it was only 9 bucks it holds it all in and the spanx panties are great too (except i litterally couldnt eat my salad whilst in them)
