Asking An Embarrassing ???



Recommended Posts

ok, so I wear underwear from the Avenue which are sized like clothes 18/20, 22/24, etc. I wear 22/24 now and they are getting big, since I'm losing I hate to pay Ave's prices for panties when I can go to Walmart and get some but I do not know what size to get, 9, 10, 11, 12 and so on??? Call me dumb I guess.

If I'm correct I believe you would need a 12. When you go to buy them each pack has the sizing chart on the back

Try to get one size bigger because they shrink

no dumb questions

Get one of each. especially if your in between sizes. If one is a bit snug you will fit into it soon. :)

thanks everyone, I'm glad you guys didn't laugh! I was almost ashamed to ask...lol To Krussell19 I too carry all my or most of my weight in my rear and and belly, well most in my rear. I like some crazy people out there are going shopping tonight when Walmart opens (with some girlfriends) and will look at them and see if I can buy just one pair and buy a couple in 2 different sizes. This year for Thanksgiving its just me and my mom and we are going out to eat so tonight I'm having my highlight shopping spree at different places. gona be a long night. lol. Thanks again for all your advice and input.

Donna...I too am bottom heavy....and I was wearing the lane Bryant size 26 when I started. I bought some cheap Walmart panties in 9 and XL at target when I was about 250.... They should work for you.

Happy shopping... I am not getting near Walmart but am heading out at 5 am like an idiot to score some holiday decorations, cards and whatever else I think I must own. Lol

thanks for the info. Oh no, I'm a night owl. I may have to head to nearby Clarksville TN (I live in Hopkinsville KY) about 20 mins drive to get in some really heavy duty shopping tonight, lol. Now if I was really adventurous I'd head to Nashville, I'm only an hr away, ha but I guess I will stay around here. Yes, I'm bottom heavy, legs and hips, little waist. It is slowly getting smaller. I tried on size 24 jeans last night that were in my closet and I can wear them, yay. I was in a 26 and some 28's. Would love to be in your neck of the woods getting some good Grouper right about now! Oh my fav!!! I would def forget turkey for today for fresh grilled Grouper! Take care, Donna

      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.
