I'm 5'6"

241 pounds

I haven't been clothes shopping yet. I have 3x scrub pants that I wear to work but they're HUGE! My 2x scrub pants and almost too big.

I have size 22 jeans that I could barely squeeze into before surgery and now I can slip them off without unbuttoning or unzipping.

I'm waiting to lose a little more before I go start trying stuff on.

I'm 5'2" and started at 304 lbs and was in a very tight size 22 (I should have been wearing 24). The 22's are now getting baggy and I think another 10 lbs I will try to get into some 20's.

Started at 5'7", 240 pounds, and snug size twenty-two. Now at 145 and this week I bought a pair of size 9/10 Wrangler Q Baby jeans. AND the size 7/8 fit everywhere but the waist, which gave me a slight muffin top. 7/8. I thought I was dreaming when the 9/10 zipped up!

I am also 5'1 but I weigh 240!!! Yikes! I haven't worn jeans or pants without a size of large or extra large so I have no clue what size I am. If I had to guess, probably a 22?

When i had the surgery i was in a tight 22/24. All my clothes had to be bought at Torrid, lane bryant and avenue. Now i wear a very baggy 12. So i am starting to try on 10s. I have went from 3x to a medium! A great feeling is walking into one of those stores and asking for a 12 and they look at me crazy ( well kinda with a dirty look and attitude) and say we don't sale that size here! Btw... I am 5'4.

      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.
