At my highest weight of 360 I could only wear a 26/28 from Lane Bryant if it had a lot of stretch in it I was 54" around the waist and 64" around my lower abdomen...at my starting weight of 335 I was wearing a size 26 jeans comfortably.

At my current weight of 253 I am wearing a size 20 jeans and size 1X top. I'm 41" around the waist and 53" around the lower abdomen.

My highest weight 267 I was wearing 22/24 even started buying 3x Lane Bryant too. Now at 208lbs I'm loosing inches fast too. I'm wearing 12/14 pants and 12/14 tops. Looks like Belly fat may be last and a TT is needed later.

I started at size 13/14 pants. Bought 1 or 2 pair of 15/16 which is when I said I had to do something. shirts were large & xlarge. Since surgery, I'm now wearing 5/6, shirts small. Been having fun shopping and just decided to try 3/4 pants. While i was able to get into a few of them, depending on the brands some were too tight. I'm actually hoping to plateau @ 5/6, but I won't complain if I continue to shrink if i continue to be healthy. I'm only 8 mons post op & know the weight is still dropping. i was told for my 5' height & body type I should weigh 107. So whenever i reach 107, I'll probably go down another size or 2. Either way, I'll continue to have fun shopping as its been years since I was able to shop without buying stuff to "try" to camouflage my midsection.

That is awesome!! Shopping does not feel like a chore anymore. It is fun to try on the latest styles that does not feel like someone cut the fabric from some left over curtains from a garage sale.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
