8 - 10 would be perfect for me. I doubt that I'll see that small though.

I would love to be in a size 8. I am 5' 8.5", so an average to tall height. Currently in a 14.

Size 10, depends on one's frame...one woman may prefer a size 10, another size 8 or 12 depending on one's frame. Health is what we need to be focusing on ladies, not dress sizes. It is what is inside that counts, let's remember this.

I'm thinking a 12 right now, although I could go lower than that maybe. Hard to conceive of anything lower than that!

Ideal would be 6/8. That said, if I were in a 10/12 I would be beside myself with joy!!! Still pre-op so that seems unimaginably far away right now.

I'd be happy with a size 10. I never had surgery to be skinny, I did it to get to a healthy weight and size.

I never thought I would ever get to a point where I could even think about this. I started at a 24 pants and 26/28 top. I am 5' 11". I just purchased a size 16 pants and was shocked when I could actually wear them

Given I have another 72lbs I would like to lose, I could actuallt see myself in an 8!

I did go to Victoria's Secret this week and purchased two new gorgeous bras as incentive to continue losing weight. I need to lose probably another 20lbs before they will fit me comfortably.

I have never ever stepped into a Victoria's secret store in my life! Pretty things were not for me before. Now, I love to just go shopping and try new clothes on.

Congrats! That is great! I recently asked my doc when do we start believing? Even though it's working there is still that disbelief that it will continue

I am pre surgery a size 20. My ultimate goal would be a 8/10 post surgery. Any smaller and I wouldn't mind either. I can't even fathom being a size that's not a double digit!

      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.

      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.
