has anyone found a great place to buy tee shirts meant for layering? i need shirts that have sleeves that go to the elbow for summertime. i have a lot of great shirts but my arms make me too self conscious so i want to wear a shirt underneath to cover up my arms.

thanks for any help.

You are gorgeous. I know this because I've seen you in person.

I don't know about the shirts because, as you have seen, I let my wings fly. But I just felt the need to tell you that you are gorgeous.

Have a nice day.

I HATE My wings. Cant wait to get them clipped one day.

I got a couple tees from Fashion Bug this year. They are 11 or 12 bucks each. The sleeves (for me) are just long enough. Almost every color of the rainbow, V neck and Scoop neck.

Before I lost my wings, I loved the tissue t's from Target like THIS one.  The sleeves are fitted and a bit longer than regular t-shirts.  They kept the wings in check.  Losing them was the best decision ever, second only to adopting my kids and getting RNY, of course.

Check out Kohl's.  I was in last week and they had a ton of 3/4  length sleeve tees.  also CJ Banks is a great place for me to find 3/4 length sleeve tees.  Not sure about this season, but in the fall Old Navy has some nice 3/4 length sleeve tees.

But I am an in your face kinda girl and often just let the wings flap in the breeze.  If people don't like how my arms look and are rude enough to say something, I tell them they can contribute to my wing removal surgical fund.  I figure I forced my arms to gorw too big when I was out of control, and now I have lost weight and let them get all slap happy and flappy, so I might as well own it and say F*** u to anyone who doesn't like the me I am now.    NOT everyone has my attitude though, and my attitude is not for everyone.

Saving this post as mine are flapping already and I'm only 9 weeks out! Yikes!  I can't afford surgery ever, (unless that rich man comes along) so I will need this when I can fit into normal sizes again....*sigh!

I know a few folks that had the surgery and quite honestly the scars are way more gross than their skin ever was. 

Break out the weights and shape those arms/shoulders.  You'll be amazed at how your arms can look.

I too have always let my arms out, even at 324 pounds!  I am sleeveless today!
