i'm almost 4 months post op, have lost 141 lbs so far, and a new body is starting to emerge. after YEARS of carrying all the extra weight, my shoulders roll forward and my pelvis is tilted. i have heard of "intelliskin" posture shirts w/o straps and belts. i'm thinking of getting a "foundation v neck tank, but 3x is the largest size and i'm not quite there yet. also, and it is a BIG also, these shirts are $95 each(OUCH).

just want to know thoughts before i invest, or if it is even worthwhile.

I am weighing in on this because I have had weight-loss surgery and from previous weight loss I have a lot of loose skin and fat, but also I am a therapist and have used these kinds of shirts and vests for training posture in kids. However, I do not believe that a shirt like this would work for someone with a lot of skin and fat. The reason is that the angles of pull and the forces on the shirt will cause pressure on the skin and fat but not necessarily have an effect on posture. If you want it for posture, I don't think it will help posture but it might help keep skin in place like a pressure garment.
