I tried on a pair of Levi's the other day at Macy's and I thought I'd check the 8's to see how much further I'd need to go to fit into them. They fit perfectly! I didn't buy them because they were $60 but I went home and ordered a pair of Gap white pants size 8 from Ebay. They arrived today - didn't expect them to fit. Figured they'd hang on my door until I could fit into them. Just need to hem them a little! They fit perfectly!

In almost 2 yrs I've lost 97 lbs - with about 16 left to the 135 goal I have. I'm getting married on Dec 3 and would love to lose it by then....

Congrats on your size 8. I haven't banded yet, I'm still in the preliminary stages. I plan to attend a seminar and begin my 6 month long dietician history. Then i'm on my way. Keep up the good work.

Thanks to everyone 4 your kind responses. I hope to be at 135 by my wedding in Dec. Today I feel fat. I had a docs appt today (my primary, not my wls doc) and he told me it looked like I gained weight! Uh, I've lost about 8 lbs since I've seen him. My fiance thinks he's crazy, but it made me feel really bad....

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
