Now DS is 2 I'm finally managing to get on and slowly loose some weight. Lost 1.5 so far with maybe about the same to go. The bad thing is my lower stomach, its now hanging over my CS scar about the size and shape of a bumbag on top of the muscle and the more I lose, the lower it gets and its quite uncomfortable. I have been wearing my spanx and that makes it all feel a bit better, but they are a bit hot and constricting for every day. It looks quite noticeable now and I have noticed people giving me the 'is she expecting again?' look

Been watching the recent threads on tummy tucks with interest, but I dont think that I'm brave enough to go for it even if I had the money. does anyone else have this? what do you do to stop the wobble? are there any nice alternatives to spanx for everyday?

I just let mine run free and buy normal knickers!

some tummy control knickersfrom m&s? not as tight fitting as spanx but look like the old ladies belly warmer knickers with a control panel in the tummy area. if you're a 14 or over evans do some as well that i wear when wearing jersey dresses or more clingy clothing to smooth it all out a bit.
i'm plucking up the courage for a tummy tuck to remove my cs puch too and like yours the more weight i lose the worse it gets.

Have a look on figleaves.com - they're bound to have something on there, usually plenty of customer reviews and also free returns.

TK Maxx always have a good selection of tummy tuck knickers in stock.

I am 5 weeks post op tummy tuck. I have to wear those support knickers everyday now and bought some real bargains from there for approximate £5 each, including Bodyfit and Berlei.
