best type of swim suit for transition



Recommended Posts

I don't know what to get since I'm losing fifteen pounds a month. I was thinking boy shorts with a tank top type. Something that won't fall off if it's loose.

I don't wa t to buy a new suit every month or have the girls falling out by August!

Hehe...I just went through this since I started taking a Water class. I wasn't sure what size to buy and I had to try on about 100 (well it felt that way). I have a large bust and you know you don't want that saggy belly hanging out the bottom of the high cut bottoms...so it can be hard to find the right fit!

Since the class was a fitness class with lots of cardio and jumping around..I wanted a one peice since the two piece really just was not working and the skirt one just ended up in my face most of the class :)

It was a rough go of finding it..but I will tell you honestly I went to K-mart...(and I am sooo not a Kmart shopper!) and for $14.99 on sale I bought a couple of one piece suits in different sizes and if they last the month and I need new ones the cost was minimal compared to what some can run. I was so happy to find them there of course they were in the plus size section but I realize that no matter what I am always going to be big busted and when it comes to swim suits that is the size you work from :)

I just saw on Lands End swim suit section online-swim shirts! They are perfect for transitioning and will hide sagging midsectiions.

You can select any swim bottom you desire to go with it.

:) Happy shopping. I'm 9 days post-op, so I'm going to wait....

I wore close fitting like bike shorts under a one piece swimsuit in the early months. I felt less self conscious and it kept me from losing my bottoms..haha.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
