Compression Garments????
How do you determine what size 'compression' garments to wear and purchase? My belly is really getting itchy (I guess from hanging) and I think it is time to 'tighten' things up as best as I can...I would greatly appreciate any tips/suggestions

Make sure you report the rashes to your doctor! Your insurance might pay for a tummy tuck!
I'm post plastics and switched to flexee garments after taking off my surgical garments.
Flexee is knock off Spanx that I think work very well.
I wear a S or PS tshirt and a Large in the flexee camisole. I'm wearing one in my avatar. They are available at Costco.
I wear size 6 jeans and wear a Medium in flexee leggings. The leggings come up high on my midriff.
Target has a line of compression garments.
Try things on and base it on your size, not on the size on the tag. You can be comfortable while improving your contour.

I'm needing to get some too. I bought an abdominal binder & based it on my measurements but it's a little too tight still & hurts to wear so I'm going to drop another 20#s or so & try it again.
Congrats on getting under the 300# mark! I'm 4 #s from it myself & very eager to see the scale start with a 2xx!

Dear, I have the same probs with the sweaty tummy.......ugh. I put a little non-talc powder there after my shower. It helps. Tell your doc so you can get that documented. U may want plastics down the road. I dont know your size, but catherines is where I get my compression shapewhere. They are on-line and wait for the sales, they have them all the time. best, Sharon
