Pre-op Thanksgiving, 5 days before my surgery. I weighed 263 prior to surgery and 244 the day of surgery.I had gained so much weight that I no pants to wear on Thanksgiving and my husband had to run to walmart and buy me a pair of jeans. We did not know what size I was so he bought a 22 & 20. 22 was tight but i pulled it off. Thank goodness I could not eat so mypants did not get tighter as I stuffed my face like in years past.
