My bariactric nurse recommended compression garments she gave us a website I think you wear it while your losing weight. It's suppose to help with not having the need for plastic surgery. But i think it would still depend on how much you lose and how much extra skin is left. But here is the website isavela.com. I have not tried this personally so I can't tell you if it works. I might try it though.

I do wear compression garments it does help with the lose skin but I want the tummy tuck badly. Cause I want to feel comfortable when I take my clothes off. The blob ( my tummy skin) is too much and makes me feel like I didn't lose weight at all.
