Ok...so I realize this is a vanity thing and not a health concern but I pretty much constantly wonder if I'll have loose skin once I start loosing a significant amount of weight. My heaviest was 235 and I'm still hovering around there while I'm going through all my pre-op stuff and my BMI is about 40. I'm 23 and I've heard that my age helps with the whole skin elasticity thing. I also plan on doing strength training as soon as possible post-op. I could stand to lose at least 100 pounds though. My question is am I being crazy worrying about loose skin? Are there weight loss surgery patients out there who don't experience that much loose skin? What has worked for you in preventing loose skin? Your advice would be helpful ladies!

@@lisacaron what's a good sports bra? I'm about the same size as you. I need some good support!

You can get good ones in so many places. The key is to try them on and to make sure they are for high impact. Victoria Secret makes some good ones, Hanes, Jockey, Under Armor, Champion.

You want to be sure that they don't give you the uniboob and that each breast has it's own pocket or cup. You want to have the compression so they are not hanging about and bouncing. So snug works. In a "generic" sizing S, M, L, XL though you might think our size needs that XL it's too big. (at least for me it was) jumping up and down there's too much movement so I had to go down the size.

The best ones even though they may have that racer back for the support, they also have a bit of hook and eye closure to the band so you have the flexibility to make it snugger as you loose and also as the garment stretches. Cause as we know bra's are not like our jeans they don't shrink in the wash they tend to stretch out more.

Prices online are good, but try to get to the store and try on what works for you and then you can order online. If you have an outlet store near you those are great also. All our body types are different even if our size is the same, so you really want to get in there and try them on. I know jumping around in a dressing room in your bra is not high on the list of fun activities...but the girls are worth it

I love my underarmour bra and natori makes a good sports bra and I got it on the sale rack in nordstrom. Underarmour is currently having a sale on line with free shipping with orders over $49 which is basically one bra
