Spanx does make mens compression garments. Otherwise, once all of your weight is gone, if you don't have any luck firming them up, and still feel self concious about them, you can have them surgically removed.

Im not that vain. Im not subconscious enough to spend 140 on a shirt just to hide man boobs. Thanks for the suggestions so far.

Sometimes I'm not real sure there's a lot that can be done. Do you do any chest exercises? That's what I'm implementing to help and it seems to be working a little. Also, you seem fairly young low "T", but are your testosterone levels ok?

I wear the Under Armour compression shirts. I can usually find a $10 off coupon at d**k's Sporting Goods. They keep everything, no just the moobs, from jiggling too much while exercising, too. Well worth the investment.

** Edit **

Ha! The auto-censor made asterisks out of the reference to the sporting goods store ... I guess they need to change their name to Richard's Sporting Goods.

I see. Are you currently taking anything...testosterone shots/cream, etc? I've read on here a few times that low T can contribute to this issue.

If your levels are off, you may want to get your estrogen levels checked out. Low T doesn't play much in the role of gynocomastia, or gyno, but elevated estrogen levels are a major component. Get the levels checked, and if the doc won't give you anything for the low t, or high E, fire the doctor.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
