I am a pear shape, and I am 5'7 and I went from a size 26 to size 12 below, I don't have a before on hand, but I went down almost 14 sizes over the years with my band, I got to a size 12 by 14 months post op and pretty much stayed this size over the years, however, I've been as low as a size 8/10, I will post more pictures when I find them, I did gain some weight back last year, still can were most 12's but I would like to lose another 20 pounds to feel comfortable again.

That's awesome! You look great in that picture! From the picture and your description, you look like you're right around where I want to be, size-wise, but do you mind me asking how much you weigh at a size 12? Or how much you weighed when you were the 8/10s? That's kinda the missing part of what I need. =)

Thanks!

Bandista, I hope you get your surgery date soon, and good luck with everything! =D

So, hi. This is my first day here and first post. I'm one-year post-op, and have lost almost half of my target. I've always been big, and have worn size 20+ since middle school (33 years old now). My question is, what size can I anticipate once I've lost to my target?

I'm 5ft 7ins, and pre-surgery, I was 280lbs, wearing a US size 28 (jeans and pants; not a big dress/skirt person). I'm your classic Pear, which means the majority of my bulk lies in my hips and thighs. I'm currently at 220lbs, and wearing a US size 22.

I would like to see myself end up around a US size 12, and have set my goal weight between 140 and 160, based on healthy BMI, but have no idea of the two targets line up together.

I've tried googling this and can't seem to find anything reliable, so I thought maybe some of you could help me out by sharing your general shape, along with height, weight, and clothing size.

I would greatly appreciate any help you guys can give me. Thanks! =)
