I just got some new shape-wear in the mail today (my old stuff was at least 2 sizes too big and from before surgery) and tried it on. While I had the new stuff on, I decided to try on some clothes from the back of my closet. I am 25 years old. My highest weight was around 330lbs, and I weighed 310 at surgery. I now weigh 240lbs (down 70 from surgery, 90 from highest weight). I fit into the prom dress I wore to my husband's senior ball. TEN years ago. When I was 15 years old!!! I just had to share!

Isn't that the best feeling! I'm a bit older, but did the same thing with a gown I had worn 10 years ago - the last time I had lost a ton of weight. I weigh more now then I did then, but the gown was big on me. Don't know how that happened but I'll take it! Congratulations!!

TERRIFIC!! Good that you were able to do this while you are young. I wasted too much time as a fat/shy/unworthy feeling person, as my weight went from 275-113-275 repeatedly. Not to mention all those years of my skin being stretched, YUCK!! Hopefully your skin will be fine. I'm so happy for you, keep it up!

      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.
