Hi Everyone! I went shopping today and was able to fit into XL tops and size 14 pants...although I had to bump up a size for jeans to a 16...but the best thing is I did not have to go to the plus size section. It was so awesome and I couldn't believe it was my butt in the pants I tried on...lol...I am 7 weeks post op and I have had one fill. I am still feeling restriction but not as much as before. I have been exercising on the treadmill 4 to 5 times a week. I am looking forward to my next fill and maybe instead of buying new clothes I will be heading to the consignment store.

I was a size 18/20 and a loyal Lane Bryant shopper and the 18/20s were getting tight...that is when I made my decision to get the band. I know this doesn't seem like a lot of weight to lose to some of you but we are each on our own journey. I just wanted everyone to know that if I can do it anyone can, trust me.

Consignment shops are the best!Such a good idea with so many changes going on so quickly! I am now into a size xl tops (wow) and 18 bottoms are getting a little saggy in the butt! When i am trying tops on and they are size XL I actually read it again when i take it off and check it again thinking it couIdn't be! I am just around the corner from no more Plus size shopping! I might actually like shopping soon! Congratulations to you!

Great job!! I wish I only had 68LBS to lose but that is still a significant amount to need to lose and already over 30lBS 7 weeks post op is amazing. I am now 3 weeks post op and the last time I weighed at 2 weeks I was 18 down. I am refusing to go by any scales except my Drs for my official weight so i wont know how much I am down again until 4/3 unless they are willing to let me hop on the scale while I am there for my support group on Wednesday. I can say that my size 18's that were pretty tight before surgery are now loose, even right out of the dryer. :)

I sure hope I can do as well as you have! :)

Good job Cyndie! 10 yrs ago when I lost 70 lbs I remember the excitement when I didn't have to go into the plus size section. What was strange though is I felt like a fish out of Water. I can't wait to feel like that again though!! Keep working hard and you'll be to goal in no time flat. Good Luck!

      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.
