So I have a question. As I have almost lost about 100lbs. I have that annoying lower abdomen skin that hangs. I think it is called the apron. It is really hard to find a swimsuit bottom that keeps all that in. Anyone else have that problem and what bottoms have you found that work well for you?

Darn it, I wish I knew the manufacturer.  I found a suit at Kohls about 3 years ago that was a one-piece that sucked my middle in.  I just lifted my apron and kind of tucked it up - the suit did all the rest.  This was pre-surgery, and dangit if I didn't look good!  I'll see if I can find that suit tonight to get the brand name.

The delta Burke line is great for that

I  am still pre op but have thought of that for future for the apron and thighs.  I was thinking maybe a cute tankini top paired with board shorts since they are not clingy.

Lands End has good slenderizing styles, they really hold you in. Some "slenderizing suits" I have had are too stretchy. Miracle Suit is another. They are expensive but Lands End has sales and the quality is great. I will be on my 4th summer with my current one and I use a swimsuit a whole bunch. One thing I also did was when I felt that I needed a little extra coverage on upper legs of my one piece I bought a cute pair of swim shorts and put them over the suit. Much more flattering.

Could wear something like spanks under the suit.

Lands End is having a friends and family sale right now. Thirty percent off and free shipping if you spend at least fifty dollars.

You can buy a bunch of styles and sizes online, and if they don't work out just return them to a local Sears. And, they have their new swimsuits in!
