Bathing Suits Post WLS - I know "first world problems"



Recommended Posts

Ok folks, who has been able to find a decent bathing suit that you can feel comfortable in? Apparently losing 80+ pounds has not made this process easier, much to my dismay. Has anyone been shopping and found a store that has a decent selection? HELP!

I was sleeved April 20 and love to swim. Since I am super morbidly obese, finding good suits has always been a challenge.

I like the two piece Tankinis from Woman Within. I am wearing a size down from my last-years pre-surgery suit and just ordered another size down so I will be prepared.

I am not yet where I can buy suits at a store. But, when I get small enough, I've always liked Lands End suits. It's been a long time since I've bought one from them so I don't know what they are like lately.

Last summer I felt much like you. I was pissed that after all of that work and so much weight lost, I was still stuck in a suit with a skirt and struggled to find even one. I ended up at Lands End. I loved their selection and their quality.

This summer, I reached my "dream goal" and had my tummy tuck/panni, so it has been a pain free shopping process. In fact I need to stop myself. I've bought my first 2 bikinis and I want more!!! :-)

Thanks! I will check that out. I am a little frustrated but I know I just need to be patient. :-)

I know what you mean though. I've lost 155 pounds and still feel ike I look like crap in a pair of shorts because of what I see as "saggy" inner thigh skin. It's frustrating when you lose weight and still don't feel comfortable in things you thought you would.

I have no shame. I bought 2 fatkinis on sale and love wearing them.

      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?
