Swimming shirts/wet suit



Recommended Posts

What are you guys wearing to the beach or pool after you have lost some considerable amount of weight but have not had skin removal and the skin has not tightened.

I lost about a hundred pounds so far, still have a few more to go but I'll be going to Florida in about 6 months and I'll be going to many pools this spring/summer with my newborn. Are there any decent swim wet shirts or wet suits shirts that do a decent job hiding imperfections such as loose skin, still some fat and moobs?

I am not a fan of regular t-shirts because they get so heavy, stretch out and suction to your body. I get wet suits clings to your body but if it hides imperfections then it's worth it. Regular Ts def do not.

What about a rash guard? I always made my son wear one so he didn’t get burned. They are like compressive tees

I third, plus most have SPF to protect your skin, too.

Ditto, rash-guards are what you are looking for.

Thanks I'll look in to them. Does any one have any suggestions on best brands and places to go and try them on?

I wear a swim "shirt". It is short sleeved and it has a nice V neck and singe sides for added style. It isn't tight like a rash guard which I like. I bought mine from Lands End a few years ago.

Old navy has a couple really cute ones this season! Although, it was in the plus section. Not sure where you all are right now.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
