SV and belly skin/fat issues

First - as of today, I am obese instead of extremely obese!  Yay!

Secondly - does anyone have suggestions for undies or support garmets?  My hanes cotton ones are very comfortable, but my loose belly needs some containment.  I want comfort, but I also need to smoosh all that extra stuff in.

Thanks for any advice!

I like Spanx.  They are a little pricey and I don't think I would want to wear them in hot weather.  But, when I have to dress up that is what I wear.  Just like other undergarments it does hold you in; but, it just pushs up the skin.  It has to go somewhere.

Congratuations on being obese!!!!  (I never thought I would say that to anyone)

Target has a brand of support wear (Assets) that are made by the same people who make Spanx -- for 1/2 the cost.

I find them to be comfortable-ish --- not as tight as Spanx, but tighter than control-top hose.

I like that I can buy ones that go from waist to above-knee, or waist - mid calf (capri)

At this time of year, I don't want to wear full control-top hose because I don't want my feet covered (I live in Tucson where it is 80 degrees during the day).

Congratulations, it sounds like you are doing great!  I can't offer advice on the undergarments, I haven't had surgery or lost enough for that to be an issue yet.  I do wear, I believe hanes her way with the non elastic bands and they seem to work for me, but I wear a size bigger than normal to keep any extra belly in and so they don't dig into my sides.  My muffin runeth way over but I try to keep it contained that way 

Walmart has a brand called "Sweet Nothings" that's pretty good.

If $$ isn't an issue, look for compression wear by UnderArmor.

Spanx is good.  Catherine's carries their own brand of spanx.

www.aswechange.com has some stuff.

congrats on only being obese.  (I understand.. when I started this I was SMO  .. super morbidly obese)

One of our Dollar stores in town - called Dollar General - has a brand of shapers.  I bought one on a whim - it was 10 bucks - so I wasn't really expecting much - but I love it - i bought a couple more - b/c I wear it almost everyday.   It's just a top - with an underwire bra (I'm too large chested to go without another bra under it).  But they're surprisingly good and don't seem to ride up of feel uncomfortable.

hmmmm I will have to try that out!

Thanks for the feedback!
