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.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
