Why......

Well including preband diet starting in 10/08 I've lost about 140 pounds went from 30/32 bottoms to 20/22 depending on brand. What I find frustrating is I'm prob. 2 sizes smaller on top. So you'd think I was safely in regular sizes for shirts. I usually find that XL Misses is significantly smaller than 1X. Often 1X is too big but XL is too small.

I have an "apron" that I know is going to stick with me even when I lose weight. I dread it and can already see it starting to sag more and I'm not even banded yet...this is just with my slow weight loss over the past few months. I KNOW I'll be applying for financial aid somewhere along the line for a Tummy Tuck because I know that apron is going to want to "Hang" around......I don't think any amount of exercise is going to help that! Maybe I'll put a collection jar on my desk and ask for donations for a tummy tuck? Although my insurance does pay for tummy tucks if they are deemed to be "medically necessary" - - I'll have to see what is considered medically necessary when the time arrives.....Good Luck to you and congratulations on losing 80 pounds...that is AWESOME!
