I was already asked the question, "what are you going to do with all that extra skin?". My response was "im going to get the Dr to cut it off and give it back to me so I can slap the **** out of you with it for asking me such a personal question" he said, "im sorry, that was rather rude of me " but, that's me, and people who know me expect those kind of responses to stupid questions.

I go to a foundation shop for my bras not only do they fit me better , but there used to people that have different medical problems and have had different surgeries and are very discreet, they also sell compression garments to help hold the skin in place , but they would not tell you you need one unless you ask about it

That was terribly, terribly rude. I carried my weight in the belly. I lost 150+- my arms are very good, I have a turkey waddle neck, some sag on the thighs, but it was tolerable. I did have a lot of loose skin in the stomach, and pursued a tummy tuck. Now, pefectly flat tummy :)

People need to stop and think before they speak. I was speaking to a new nurse that was relieving me at work, and I mentioned I had been out for close to a month. She immediately asks, "Oh were you on maternity leave? " I just looked at her like she had twelve heads.

I think her comment was inappropriate, but I also think it might help you to practice being more assertive. You didn't want to be fitted for a bra in the first place but say she insisted. Are you saying she refused to sell you a bra unless you undressed in front of her and allowed her to fit you? If she did, I would complain to the corporate office. But what I'm thinking you mean is that she was pushy and you gave in. I don't think that the fact that you agreed to be fitted gives her the right to make a rude comment. I just think it might benefit you to learn to stand up for yourself more.
