I thought I had read somewhere that there are certain garments that people here recommend for the loose skin after weight loss.  Does anyone have any suggestions, comments etc besides plastic surgery?

Lots of people like the Spanx brand support garments.  I bought a "generic" version before I had my plastic surgery, and it helped, but I thought it was uncomfortable and it was very hot in the summer.

I use spanx, even in the summer and feel fine. But I was wearing them even pre op on a daily basis, so I may just be used to them.

Not sure I can do the spanx but maybe as I get smaller.  I think the rubber or whatever it is they use and I do not get along!  But I can try all things and find what works best for me as I lose.  Thank you.

There's another site, called www.Slimpressions.com, that sells compression garments for the upper arms, as well as the entire body.  I know I will need them for my arms after surgery.  They're already flabby, and have been most of my life.  If you sign up for their newsletters, they send out coupons.  I just bought my first garment!

Yeah, 29 pounds in the first month.  I'll take that!  Your bottom ticker is really hard to see.  You might want to shrink them down a bit!

Walmart also carries a brand made by Maidenform called Sweet Nothings. They cost about 28 dollars.
