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:

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.

Miracle Suit is a brand of slimming swimsuits. Well, actually, they have different models that address different needs, I think. You usually buy them by size (like 12, 14, etc.) and cup size (and many of them have underwire, too), so they fit much better than many other off the rack suits, especially for women with larger breasts or bulges anywhere. They're usually well over $100.

Ready,

I'm glad you found a suit you liked. I like the two pieces because you can usually find one that fits your body type. We have an Avenue at a mall but it's pretty far away but I'd like to check it out sometime. I've just looked on line. Also I forgot about Fashion Bug, they seemed to have a ton of suits the last time I was in there.

Where can you buy them? $100 is mighty steep. I definitely wouldn't want to put that much into one right now but I might possibly reward myself with one once I lost most of my weight. My girls are rather large, so I definitely need help in that area, lol.

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.

That could be a possiblity for me. I'll have to look next time I go.

I'm an apple but my goal is to be a crabapple:lol: I know I'm way too funny!

A bunch of different places carry them, like Macy's, FigLeaves.com, etc. Here's a link to a list of the stores, websites, and catalogs that usually carry them: The Miraclesuit - bathing suits, swimwear, beachwear, swimsuits and cruise wear

Thanks for the link. They really are very nice looking. I wonder if they really work like they say they do. A one peice will be the only style I will ever wear probably, or possibly a tankini in the future (way down the road).

Miracle suits are the only kind I buy!!! Try one on! They feel great.

The style really depends on your body type. I have big boobs (although hanging low) and big tummy. The rest is ok. I bought a really cute suit from Lane Bryant. It's a 1 pc in bright colors and it has a built-in shaped bra, which I thought I would hate but I LOVE, and this little frilly thing right at tummy which just does wonders for tricking the eye. Low scoop back. And it's actually comfortable, too.:smile2:

Dananah, what did Dr. Phil say now, never mind I don't want to know he annoys me too!

nothing particular he just bugs me! Especially when it comes to WL issues.

Wow...I love this site - they have chubby women wearing the chubby suits!!

:huh2:

Hi everyone,

I'm going to close this thread since it's drifted sooooo far off topic...and the original topic wasn't so wonderful to begin with. I encourage you to start a new thread re: swimsuits if you like.

Thanks!

Good idea Terry.
