Ht: 4' 11" Highest wt: 245 Surgery wt: 240 (that photo was taken surgery morning) Current wt: 146 Surgery date: 6/11/13 And thanks!

My stats weren't close to your, but here's a before & during photo... A kinda embarrassing one at that.haha.

This surgery doesn't make you any more secure. You won't love yourself more. You won't become a rich famous model. You may actually hate the way you look and your new lifestyle afterwards. The sleeve is a tool to use to become healthier. It's a tool to use to manage portions (of healthy choices) in hopes of losing weight. If you're asking if you're big enough? Probably so. If you're old enough? Probably so. If you should have the surgery? None of us can answer that for you.

I don't look unhealthy. I look f'n hot! LOL I think it has to do with balancing your diet, being active, and just generally taking care of your body & mind.

I never could stop at restriction. If so, I'd never eat more than 2 bites of anything (that's ok in the beginning, but at 7 months out , it's not). Not that I'd advise others to do this, but I pretty much "force feed" myself 2-3 oz. just to clarify, I'm never in pain, I just feel full after a bite or two.

BOOBS!

Wtf?!

I WORK for it!! Total change of lifestyle and I LOVE it!!! I weigh or measure all my food, I make good food choices, and I workout. I have a couple friends who had wls, and we were all at the same starting point. One exercises but eats as she did before but smaller portions. The other follows the plan as far as eating but hasn't exercised. They are both struggling around the 200lb wt mark while I now weigh 147. I'm not saying everyone would get those results, but it surely works for me.

That's the comment that bothers me the least! I like that one. Haha

Mine used a 32. But I don't think that matters much. Following your doctors plan is what makes you successful.

Always freezing too. Lol

I get this and I giggle. But in my head I scream "SHUT THE F UP!" People tell me I'm skinny now, but truth is, I can stand to lose another 20-30 lbs to get to a "healthy" BMI. I don't let it change my goal. Me and Doc know what's best.

I'm not sure about bigger sizes (never had that issue) lol. But if anyone else is looking for sports bras, I really like Victorias Secret VSX and Nike makes a good one I slip over my bra. Sorry, this probably won't help you, but maybe someone else.

I eat. No one has ever questioned me at a party or wedding (especially bc they give you ridiculously small plates if its buffet style )

I agree. I don't think Curves would be enough to gain muscle mass.
