Hey tall ladies! Im 6"1' and my sizes have stayed pretty consistent. Im usually 1/2-1 whole size smaller on the top than the bottom.

In the beginning:

344- 24/24 top 26 bottom both (pretty snug)

Now:

298- 18-22 top (varies by store) 22/24 bottoms

If I remember correctly I should be an 18/20 (top) and 22 (bottom) at 280. I dont have any weight lower than that to compare. Anything below that was when I was 14, didnt weight myself, and wore men's jeans. Womens' 36 inseams were hard to come by in '94. They still are.

The funny thing is that I have always fit a Gap xxl top.

the moral of the story: Ive been fat for a long time.

I'm 5'5" and 184. I fit into size 10 or 12 pants, but tops I am at least an XL.

My daughter, on the other hand, is about the same height, 199, and fits into size L tops, but wears size 16 jeans.

If we stand face to face, maybe we look like one of those yin-yang drawings.

It's amazing how much size differences a few inches of height makes! At 5'2" I am still in an 18-20 (L-XL) at 188 lbs. I guess I'd have to lose another 100 lbs to get down to a size 10 or 12. Very frustrating!! I've noticed over the years (and I'm 63) that at my height I can divide my weight by 10 and know my approximate clothing size (ex: at 240 lb I wore a 24, at 280 lbs I worse a 28).

~sigh~

I used to be able to list off the size that I wore at a certain weight, for example I packed 14/16 tops and 18/20 bottoms for my honeymoon when I weighed about 240 -ish. I'm about 5'9" Now however after delivering a baby via emergency c-section I can no longer tell. At 269 lbs my top is already down to and 18/20 and my bottom is firmly lodged at a 23 due to a nice shelf that is left over from giving birth.

I will be estatic once my whole body is in the 18 range and I can shop in New York and Company. I guess it's a personal goal of mine.

      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.
