Support garments for men?

Alright, I've avoided asking this for as long as I could....

I'm getting near goal, seeing maintainence on the horizen, but I've got this crappy "muffin top" shape (I hate that word) so my belly is still much bigger than my waist and it's screwing with my clothing.  Shirts that fit my upper body are too tight for the loser body, vice-versa.  Also, I can't wear a belt because this "muffin top" makes my waist too low.  (My pants fall off my ass with a belt - I wear suspenders under my shirt).

I'm definitely going the plastic surgery route eventually and getting this excess skin/fat hacked off, but that's a ways away due to financial concerns.  Is there a support garment / compression thingy I can do in the meantime???

When I was fat-fat, I used to wear small T-shirts, but that trick doesn't work so well anymore (the other issue with small t-shirts is that with them being small and my waist being low, the shirt comes out of my pants).  Any advice on dealing with this bodyshape pre-plastic surgery?

Tee Hee. Couldn't resist.

I have seen these sort of waist binder things they sell on late night tv that have velcro.  They look pretty tacky and there is probably something better out there.

so far I just let it hang out but think i will need it if i ever wear that fitted beaded dress again.  Diane

OMG are you kidding? I've seen you several times in Teeshirts!
Your're hot!
Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
I mean really? I'm 50 not old, blind or dead!

If and I mean If, you meet someone who might, and I mean might, be at the point in your relationship that they actually get to the part where you REMOVE the TeeShirt....well I think at that point... you had them at some kind of atom-DNA thing and any extra skin is negotiable.

Please, have you not looked in the mirror lately!

Ok, well maybe the PS might, and I mean MIGHT be in your future but it's probably going to be a moot point...at that point.
IMHO

You can buy a compression shirt for men. They work pretty good. My friend on youtube (watchmegetskinny) shows himself with and without a compression shirt in one of his videos.
