Recommended Posts

Well, after being banded 3 1/2 weeks, I put on some pants today and realized they were WAY loose. I hadn't worn them since before the surgery and I was pleasantly surprised, especially since the scale hasn't moved in over a week! (Except this morning when I dropped another pound) I decided I would go through my closet and see what fits and what doesn't. At the highest weight, I was a 28/30 or 3 XL in shirts and pants...solid 30 in jeans or non elastic waisted pants/skirts. I tried on clothes I haven't worn in a year and they FIT!!! I can actually wear jeans (elastic waist) that are size 26 and some khaki and navy blue and black chinos in size 26. I have a bunch of shirts and skirts I can now wear! Woo-Hoo! A whole new wardrobe!!! :thumbdown:

How fun is that!

I had saved some clothes from the last time I lost weight. It was kind of fun going through those and having them fit again. Unfortunately, the majority of them are summer clothes so I can't wear too many of them, and now they're starting to get loose.

I'm going to have to go shopping pretty soon. Gee, what a shame!:thumbdown:

I understand your excitement! I am so happy for you:) After losing 42 over a year I get to shop in my closet as well!

I have been frequenting second hand stores in my area as it is silly to purchase "new" items when I am losing weight at a really good clip these days :thumbdown:

Yes!! I've cleaned out my entire closet and found several sizes! As of this weekend, I've found out that the last of the smallest sizes I was holding on to, are now getting loose - as KarenK stated. Went shopping today and bought a new suit a size I haven't worn in at least 15 years! OMG!

Best of luck and much success to each of you!! These are certainly called sweet NSV's!

      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?
