I swear to god that some people are idiots. I almost feel bad for tearing that guy a new a-hole, but seriously, come on. If you're from hollywood, working in a studio and you come in here fully anti-band because some "incompetent doctor" tried to do your surgery and found a way to screw it up, don't make yourself sound like a Greenpeace activist in the weight loss surgery wing. I just don't see the need to come in here and stir crap up when we're more of a support group than anything else. Ignoring the fact that it sounded like bullshit to begin with. :crying::cursing::smile::cursing::cursing::eek:

Sorry, I just hate stupid people who think the world owes them something. I needed to get that out. Sorry sorry. :crying:

I just want to find a bathing suit that looks decent for less than 100 dollars. Jeez. I won't be able to even wear it all summer why do bathing suits gotta be so expensive.

I refuse to even buy a suit this summer, I don't have a pool and don't plan on going to the beach. I'd have to order one on line anyway and the chance of that one looking good is at least 50/50!

My apt. complex has three pools, one of which is open all night. I love night swimming. I think I am just gonna have to get a tacky one and just suck it up that it might be a little ugly.

AthinnerD,

I hope you're dog is okay? brandyII

I thought she was better. I took her to the vet yesterday and she finally did eat a little bit. Today she hasn't eaten at all, and she just pooped out pure

blood. I am pretty freaked out right now. Number one, I don't want anything to be wrong with my dog. She is my baby. Number two, I can't afford a bunch of tests or surgery, and that's where it looks like it's headed.

Thanks for asking.you're sweet:wink_smile:

I will give you a rep point now that I know how.

Ready,

I'm not sure which type you like or what size but have you looked in Plus Size Clothing, Lingerie, Accessories & Wide Width Shoes for Women; Big & Tall Clothing for Men at OneStopPlus.com, index.html, and www.junonia.com. I guess Torrid.com - Plus sizes in exciting, cutting-edge apparel and accessories for young women sizes 12-26 too. Those are places the girls and I shop through if that helps. You're lucky 24 hour pool, I love pools at night, that's probably when I'd want to go anyway! Let me know if any of those sites help, Nancy.

One more Avenue.com.

Plus sometimes they'll give you a coupon like 40% off one item at places like onestopplus

How old is your dog? brandyII

She is 12. I think she ate bone on Sun. and I am betting it cut her intestines.

Oh poor baby, I know how expensive it is to as I'm on #3 and #4 dog at this point in my life. I hope she's okay and maybe it's not as bad as you think, anyway I'll remember her in my prayers, brandyII.

I wish I was as careful of what I eat as of what I feed the babies. (Who are cats.)

Bathing suits:

I hate buying them! The ones that compliment my boobs (hate the uni-boob effect) don't fit, and the ones that fit create that damn uni-boob.

I like the kind that criss-crosses in the front or zips - something to seperate the girls!

Doggies:

Tests suck! I'm having issues with the momma dog and puppies I brought home. She has heartworms and a virus - $300 later, I'm taking them all in to SPCA tomorrow. I can't feed the babies on my own, and momma really isn't strong enough to keep it up.

Why is the vet so expensive? Don't they know we have bathing suits to buy? (Actually, no joke...my vet bills lately have dipped into my cruise money for the summer! Ironic, huh?)

I really despise shopping for bathing suits. I went today and tried a bunch on, but couldn't find one that fit right. None of the halter-style suits fit me right (my boobs are too heavy, and the torsos of the suits are too short for me), I HATE the tankinis because they roll up my stomach and it's hard to find bikini bottoms that cover enough. Hardly anyone makes a really good one piece suit that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I think I'm going to have to splurge on a Miracle Suit or something, but I don't want to because I'm still losing weight!

On the upside, I found a cover-up that I really like, so I got that. Now I just need to find something to wear under the cover-up.

Laurend, what's a miracle suit?

I hate shopping for swimsuits too! I like to be really covered and the only ones that have enough coverage for me, is the ones that look like a little dress and let's face it.....they're not the best looking swimsuits. They end up looking like a sack on me. Grrrrrr, it's very frustrating!

Hopefully when by June or July, I will feel better about wearing one.

My apt. complex has three pools, one of which is open all night. I love night swimming. I think I am just gonna have to get a tacky one and just suck it up that it might be a little ugly.

i know the lane bryant catalog (womanwithin.com) has some cute suits that arent too much.

they have 1 pieces and separates.

good luck

I bought some bottoms last year that look like shorts. I hope they aren't too big now. I am just going to wear a sports bra and a t shirt on top. I swim in my dad's pool when I visit Az and the rest of the year I don't need a bathing suit.

Bathing suit shopping SUCKS!

I have the opposite problem. I have tiny boobies compared to my big ass and hips...and belly so Anything that fits at the hips falls off my shoulders. ITs painful. But I applied for a CC at avenue and got 30% off of my bathing suit so it was 58 with taxes instead of 100 bucks. That was good.

Walmart for those of you who might be shaped a little more normal, has these girl style swim trunks so you can get a decent one peice for twenty and then buy these really flattering boy style shorts, but they don't go down to your knees they go down to about mid thigh. Anyway. Thats what we picked out for my friend. They go up to size 3x or 22. It looked really good on her and she has kind of an hourglass shape. I am shaped like a pear.
