So, do any of you post-ops use spandex bike shorts or foundation undergarments to deal with saggy baggy skin? What works for you? What doesn't work? Where do you get it in Maine?

31 lbs. lost before surgery! My goal is 150lbs. My surgeon's goal is 110lbs. I just can't imagine that weight right now. Maybe someday . . .

What brand are they? And how are they sized?

I'm not sure of the brand name as I cut out the tags. I can check the next time I am at Wal-Mart. They run small. I wear a M in t-shirts and the size Large are fairly snug. I do know that they go up to 2x and in many different colors.

Thank you!
What other advice can you give me as I approach my surgery date? How long were you in the hospital?

I had surgery on Thursday and came home on Saturday morning. Don't bring alot to the hospital as they provide most anything you need. I did bring my own pajamas and slippers. Bring a pillow as it will come in handy on the way home. I also recommend taking pain meds every 4 hours or whenever they are due to make sure you don't end up playing catch up. I never had any issue with pain at all. I only used a few doses when I came home as well. I feel that this is because it was so well controlled in the hospital. Also make sure you take the meds for nausea before you leave the hospital for the ride home. Good luck. Please let me know if I can give you any more information.

I finally got to Wal-Mart and these are the ones I use. They just came out with new ones that have a lace pattern along the bottom and the top. I have found them to be true to the sizing on the back. They are called Sweet Nothings and are $15.00. Let me know if you need any other information.
