Need clothing recommendation

I'm just getting into serious exercise and am having a few problems.  I had a port replacement in September, so I'm five months out from surgery.

1.  I did some core exercises a week ago and my port area was tender when I inhaled and exhaled heavily for about 2-3 days afterward.  So I was wondering if wearing a waist cinch or something like that would help?

2.  I just bought The Biggest Loser for my Wii Fit and it has a few exercises that involve jumping.  Well, I'm 90 pounds overweight still, so let's just say I'm rather large and floppy on top!  Due to that fact, it's quite painful doing the jumping exercises.    So I need some really good support there as well.

But I'm lost on where to find this type of clothing for plus sizes.  I usually wear a 1X to 2X (18W-22W) depending on fit.  I'd prefer to be able to buy it in a retail store so I could try it on vs. buying online.

Thanks.

I don't know about the port since I have never had one but I am sure you don't want something rubbing against it.  Maybe a bandage over it to prevent rubbing and try spanx or any of the support/shaping items they have at most retail stores nowadays.  Sweetnothings at WalMart has a camisole top that I really like and it comes in 2x I know.  Spanx comes in various Plus sizes.  You can also find exercise clothing if that is what you are looking for at the WalMart Plus Sizes (Danskin) or JC Penneys, or Catherines and Fashion Bug.  Target carries some but their sizes seem to run smaller than most.  Good luck!
