Binding Loose Skin?
I've lost about 170 lbs since my surgery! Unfortunately I've been left with a TON of loose skin, particularly on my tummy. Does anyone have any recommendations for girdles, waist trainers, or compression garments? I'd really just like to look nice in my clothes, without my tummy sticking so far out. It wasn't so bad when I was big all over, but now I have this thin body with a disproportionately big tummy poking out :(
I always liked the kind where you can wear your own bra like THIS. Flexees is my favorite.

I also prefer the Flexees...
i would wear the brief type if wearing a sleeveless outfit..
but between a shoulder injury and having to pee all the time due to water
they can be a bit of an issue esp since I can't get them up myself
and have to rely on the Hubby
(I tell him to give me an atomic wedgie to get them up proper..
he now thinks women are NUTS..why would you do THIS?!)
or a friend if I'm in the ladies on an evening out...
not fun!

I've always been a fan of Spanx, in various styles. (Expensive, but they last if you don't put them in the dryer.)
A few months ago I bought two cami's by "Yummy Tummy" and have been wearing them nonstop. I got them at Nordstrom's Rack. ($19.99 each)
It's takes some experimentation to figure out what feels good, looks good, and does the job!
