I have lost 300 lbs. I just had one knee replaced and getting ready to have the other replaced. Here is my question. I would love to go to the local pool to do some of my workouts. But, I am emabrrased with the way my loose skin on my upper body looks. Does anyone know where I might find a swimsuit that covers my upper body like in the old days?

Can you wear a shirt?
Do you qualify for skin removal surgery? I would think that after losing that much weight the insurance company would view that as medically necessary.

Search online for "rash guards".

I was also going to suggest rash guard...good luck! Either way, good for you for getting out there and I bet you notice way more than anyone else will :)

Thanks guys. That info is perfect. Yo are the best. I agree, it is more me than them, but it still bothers me. I am looking into the skin removal.

A friend of mine suggested a wet suit, knee length since my thighs are my issue.
It's a thought.

Last year I wore a men's suit to cover my thighs. This year I'm getting some board shorts like the longer ones HERE.

Someday I'll get a thigh lift....sigh.

Swim with a dark t-shirt on and swim trunks. That should be fine.
