Default I Need Some Help/Suggestions

Hey Y'all!

I have a question/quest for you regarding pre-plastic surgery. I have consulted with a plastic surgeon for the removal of the excess skin, and we are working on financing. However, are there any recommendations (particularly from the guys) from anyone on some type of support garments that can be worn under clothing to help eliminate the jiggle? I know this sounds ridiculous, but my belly and chest are just hanging from the weight loss, which is not comfortable (painful at times) . I have tried compression shorts and women's dry-lock sport tanks/bras for the extra support under my work-out clothes, but for daily wear/work wear, those garments are just too hot--especially with the heat wave we've been having in S.Carolina. Any recommendations? I am not above mail/internet ordering, but don't want to pay a fortune as I am still losing and don't want to invest in too much just to out-grow(?) it in several months. I even sew quite a bit, so if there are any patterns or such you could recommend, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for the input!

have you tried spanx (I think that's how you spell it)? They really hold everything in place. Only problem is they are not cheap, so not sure how much you are willing to pay for them. That's my suggestion to you. Hope it helps a little.
