Sports bras only worked so-so for me and now I've gotten older and apparently a little larger, they dont work at all to flatten me down. My health care provider said only occassional wear on a binder, no living in one. I would be happy at this point just finding something that works well under a suit, for special occassions.

Any advice?

Wow, I'd really think twice about it at all with your medical conditions. But, I know the need. I have a messed up shoulder blade and have a heck of a time getting into and out of pretty much anything. I did find some at Love Boat that close on the side with velcro and they do a good job on flattening for me. Overall though, compression is compression and if you've got breathing issues be careful. Having a side close might offer you a little adjustability in tightness if you get into trouble so it might be worth reading up on them if you are bound and determined. (no pun intended)

Here is a link to their site.
