The bathing suits I go with are Miracle Suits . They are VERY expensive, but so worth it. They are made out of a material that just sucks it all in. Also, I have large girls and it's the only bathing suit that will hold them up and not let them hang to my knees. You can look them up on line, but I know Dillards will have a select few.......not sure if you have one of those near you? 

my 2nd source for discount online shopping is 6pm.com...  they ship FAST...I usually have my order within 3 business days without paying extra

anyhoo, Miracle suits that are NOT $150

I was in Walmart yesterday looking for some jeans - -and they have many, many suits that are Slenderize (or something like that).  They also had some swim shorts that go with tankini tops.  I was surprised by the number of choices, all in the $20-$35 range,

I like the Lands Ends suits pre-op--haven't shopped for a post-vsg suit (and I'm nowhere near goal).  Athletica also has cute ones, but they are spendy.

I would never have thought of Lands End for swimsuits. I didn't know they sold them. Thanks! I will check out their website.

I was also going to suggest Lands End. They have lots of good options.

they are pricey, but you could try http://www.h2owear.com/

they have great one pieces, that are higher around your armhole and back (to hold in 'stuff')....and separate shorts you can match up to your one piece (or separate top) to cover hanging thighes...they have some with skirts....also, if you're like me and have big arms, they have coverups that can be worn in the water, esp if it's coldish...

they have from small to 3x, so maybe you can get an idea from what they have...good luck!

I will check out the website! Great suggestions- I will pay attention to the high arms and see about getting shorts to go with. Thanks!
