Swimsuit for very overweight man?

I'm hoping to get back into swimming, but am having trouble finding a swimsuit that works. My current trunks have so much material on them that if I so much as kick off the wall, I move but the suit doesn't, putting me in danger of arrest for indecent exposure. I'm having a lot of trouble finding huge-size swimsuits that you can actually swim in. I'm pretty much thinking some kind of bib-style trunks would be the most likely to work, but haven't found any actually for sale.

Does anyone have any ideas or experience?

    I'd recommend this site: http://www.swimoutlet.com/p/tyr-mens-torque-lite-swimskin-7534437/?color=9325 I don't have quite all the same criteria, but a suit that stays on during actual swimming was my prime concern when I found them. Reasonable prices for the quality, too.

    Try to find on without pockets. You're probably not going to look cool in the trunks that will actually work.. but they will work. I got mine from swim outlet too... but not as fashionable as my board shorts.

    Really appreciate the advice, autumnblade and salstg. I'll check out swim outlet and see if there's anything there my size.

    A jammer? You may feel l a little self-conscious in one (I sure did...) but they're streamlined and will make swimming feel a little easier. They do make bib style triathlon shorts, unlike a regular swimsuit they have a light chamois as triathletes go from swimming to biking but it's no where near as pronounced as the chamois in a pair of biking shorts as triathletes also run in them after the ride...

    Thanks Brian. Yeah, I looked into those tri bibs, and funnily enough they don't make them in enormous sizes, go figure. :D
