Yeah a fellow shortie!!! Thanks for sharing! Do you mind me asking how long it's taken you to drop the weight? The last time I was in a size 8 and medium tops was when I was 130 pounds. I am very fortunate that I put on weight very evenly and have great curves.

I assumed at 145ish I would be a 12! It's crazy how sizing has changed. It took me 9 months and a couple days to get to where I am now. I still want to lose maybe 10-15lbs. 130 was my goal-145 is my surgeons. It's weird to think I can wear a size 8' date=' but one pound ago I was still obese! I'm pretty even now, but the last 20ish pounds I gained before thinking about surgery wound up in my belly (UGH). I've still kept my boobs, too and my hips aren't going anywhere. Here's a pic taken last week and one taken a year ago on the same date

Thanks so much for sharing! I have been so nervous about how this will go and what my body will look like. But it looks like we have very similar body types and you look fantastic! I had an interesting comv with my doc about the weight loss goal. I initial said 130 and he agreed the sleeve would get me there. But then he asked when did my weight become an issue. I explained it was right after high school when I was in an abusive relationship. Before that I was 110. Even in college I lost some weight and was able to maintain at 135. I just wish I had celebrated my successes and my body back then. I lived in FL and never wore shorts. But really, thanks again. Seeing what you wrote is making me feel more confident about my decision. I wish there was a way for us to connect outside this forum. I would love to stay in touch.
