Is your goal weight still considered 'overweight'?

At 5 ft 6 inches, I am annoyed that the goal for me is 170. I will still be at least a size 16. The nutritionist ( a skinny dipsy thing) said I would be a size 8 and maybe even a 6!! She forgets I was 170 on my way up to 289(size 22) and I know I was at least a 16/18 then. All this for a few size drops.....But overweight is better than morbidly obese. LOL

Remember that besides how you carry your weight (mine's all in the hips) part of this depends on how long ago you wore these sizes as the sizes now are much more generous/larger. I have 'saved pants' in every size and at 170 (5'8.5") now I'm wearing my old size 14's and 16's and I just bought a pair of 12's I can fit into at the store- and fit into all the size 12's there (I came home and tried on my old size 12's and I can't fit into one of them).

Well, the good part about this is we older women feel better about the 'smaller' sizes we're wearing (I haven't been in a 12 in 20 years!).

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
