NSV -- Bathing Suit



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved April 20 and was able to get back into the pool in mid-May. I initially wore the bathing suit I had left over from the end of last season. My birthday was in June so I ordered two suits for my birthday. One a size lower than last year's, and the second a size lower than that. Today, I finally tried on the second suit and it fit!

For someone who started as such a high weight as I did there is a lot of room between bathing suit sizes so I consider this a big deal!

Now, I need to watch the sales and order the next two sizes down do I will be prepared.

I've been buying new suit like every 2 -3 months. (I do Water aerobics for fitness). I gone through 4 suits since being sleeved and am noticing the latest one is getting saggy.

Try a google search for plus size bathing suit and you'll find everything. That way you can choose the style of what you want to wear. Speedo and many others put out larger suits.

For exercise I buy the krinkle cut swim suits. They have a built in bra, support for tummy control and do not fade. I buy them from swimoutlet or just my size.

Congratulations to you both. I took my bathing suit in but I will certainly need new ones for next season. Thanks to those who listed places we might look for new suits.

I have been able to find good suits from Woman Within. They seem to have a wider range of available sizes than most.

I like getting the 2-piece tankini's because 1) I have trouble getting 1-pieces over my legs and hips, and 2) you can buy different size tops and bottoms if you need to.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
