Would Girdle Help To Ease The Pain While Walking And Exercising In An Obese?

Hello, I am a 69 yo woman. I stopped smoking 15 yrs ago and since then have steadily gained weight to te point where I am now 112kg. I know I need to lose weight and am working with my GP on this issue. Because my stomach is soooo big I am experiencing pain when standing and walking. I like walking and would like to do more, but feel inhibited because of the pain. I feel a girdle would help the ease the pain and enable me to walk and exercise more. I don t have great confidence in my GP from a bulk billing walk in clinic. Im at my wits end. Thank you in advance for your help and do hope you are able to come up with a solution. Kind regards, Janet Taylor
