My BMI when I started was 77.5 and now it's 35.6!

I was 540 when I started and now I'm 248!

I am 5'10

I am 14 months out from surgery and so ecstatically happy with my sleeve!

You weigh 248 and you are in 14/16! I weigh 186 today and I'm still in 18, can't fit a 16 yet! My blubber is so fluffy and wide!

I am sure you will if you keep to your plan! We tend to lose a little slower because we are considered light weights, but I am still losing pounds and inches every month. Good luck!

My BMI is 22. I wear between a size 2 and 4.

My preoperative BMI was 41 and I wore a size 20.

Congratulations on your tiny size!! How long did it take you to get a 2 & 4? How often are you working out and stuff?

It took a year and a half because I was a slower loser. I started at 218 pounds on surgery day and it took 18 months for me to lose 100 pounds.

I exercise 6 days per week, usually. I run 20+ miles a week and lift heavy weights 3 times weekly. I also use a stationary bike, elliptical machine, and stair mill at the gym.

Starting BMI of 43.9, 256 lbs, and I was a size 18, by that chart I'd be a 20W
My BMI is now 37.6, I'm 219 lbs, and I'd be between 14W and 16W on that chart

[clk 3,519]

Starting BMI 45.7, 242 pounds, size 20/22

Current BMI 21.9, 116 pounds, size 4, sometimes 2

By that chart, I'd be a 0. I'm a 26 inch waist, with loose skin. I've no doubt after plastics, if I had them, I would be a 0/2 but at 7 years post sleeve they're a want not a need.

[Flippista 67]

Starting BMI: 37.8; 220lbs; size 18
Current BMI: 27.8; 162lbs; size 8

Surgeon goal is 140lbs; my personal goal is 125-130lbs

[biginjapan 647]

Starting BMI: 49, size 24/3X

Current BMI: 34, size 16/18.

By the chart I should be a 16, and that sounds right to me, but the 16s I have (which are at least 8 years old) are still a little tight for me. But all my 18s (most of which are plus-size 18s, not regular size 18s) are too big for me. So I'm in a weird place at the moment with not having any bottoms fitting me correctly. Luckily I have a lot of skirts, and they look better than pants that get really droopy as the day goes on.

I think another thing to consider is body shape. I'm a definite pear, so my bottoms are often 1 or 2 sizes bigger than my tops. So my sizes are probably different than someone who has more of an apple shape, even if we are at the same BMI.
