  1. Favorite thread! So glad to see so many posts from so many tall women!

    I was sleeved March 4, 2013. My highest weight was 392 in December 2012. I'm down 60lbs so far with pre and post op.

    I started out as 26/28 or 3x (4 on occasion). 12W shoe. I'm 6'2".

    I'm at 22/24 shirts and 24 pants so far.

    Mine and my doc's goal is 220lbs. BUT... if I'm still going strong and can make it happen I wouldn't mind being at 180lbs.

    I have noticed that a lot of people don't notice my weight loss as much as they notice on my shorter mother who was also sleeved and has lost as much as me. I just have more space to take fat from I suppose.

    Also, I'm not sure if it's because my weight is more spread out or if people are just being nice, but a couple of people were surprised I had the surgery because they thought I didn't need it. I just tell them I could lose 200lbs and still be at a healthy weight. It shocks the pants off them. Does anybody else get that?

    I just joined the FB group. Can't wait to see everybody on there. :)
