Sagging boobs

Since my 97lb weight loss, the boobs have disappeared. I don't mind, but the skin that is left is just that skin! And it sags terribly. Does anyone know something that can go inside a bathing suit that can help them look normal?

" Department stores usually have some things that you can use in the lingerie section. They have adhesive and help lift everything back up. There are even some that are filled with water or gel. "

" Boobs??? What are those, I think I used to have them. Now I have saggy skin everywhere...even my calves, and I still have more weight to lose. Although it can be mildly amusing to feel everything jiggling as I walk around the mall. Calves, who ever heard of saggy calf skin???? You learn something every day here, eh. "

" Yes, add me to the list of those with similar, unimpressive, need to be tucked away boobs. I do have a positive thought on this though...one thing we have gotten good at, being over weight so long, is camoflauge. Thanks to new, better made bras, we can "make it work." :-)

" I have had an awful time finding a bathing suit that supports sagging breasts. It can be a bit disappointing to have lost all this weight and still have to cover everything up to go swimming. If you can afford it, I've recently found a site that sells bathing suits that have total support. (http://www.lindasonline.com/swimwear.html) They have underwires and adjustable backs. This is the ideal. Some store bought suits do have a makeshift bra inside, but without a tight fitting back, you're still bound to fall through. (I did that with a sports bra once. Thank god I was wearing a baggy t-shirt as well!) If you can't afford one of the better suits, then go for it. Until then, I found a cheaper tankini top that ties around the neck. Got a good underwire bra with convertible straps so that it also goes behind the neck, and attached it inside the suit with a few stitches. It isn't perfect, but does the job. Good luck! "

" Go online and order a gel filled pad. There was no masectomy store near me. I just started sufing and one thing led to another. They have lots of different choices and price ranges. Good Luck & Congrats on your success. "

" Yeah, but where do you put the gel pad? If I put it on top, I'd fall out the bottom. If I put it on the bottom, I'd pop out the top. Maybe if it had a slot..."insert non-boob here". lol "

" I am sagging everywhere. I do the tuck and roll. I think Dillard's and JC Penney have swim suits with underwire and padding. My sister gave me a swimsuit the other day and it works okay.
My problem is my cup size did not go down any, but they hang to my belly button..LOL
I am looking in to reduction surgery. Other wise thank God for Spanks, they squish everything else in to place. "
