I was in very very stretched out 28W bottoms (probably should have been 30W) and 4X or 30/32 tops.
Now almost 6 months later I am in 18W bottoms and 1X tops. XL tops go on but don't fit the way I like them, my daughter keeps telling me they look fine but I still not sure. LOL

I started the process at 45, turned 46 in May, had my surgery Ocotober 27th 2014, and will be 6 months out by my 47th birthday on May 5th.
I originally went to a seminar about 5 years ago, REALLY REALLY wish I had followed thru back then. But better later than never!!
Good Luck on your journey!!

You have to be ready mentally to do this. Backing out if you weren't ready is not a bad thing. Don't be so hard on yourself.
I went to a seminar about 5 years ago to see what this surgery was all about. We started listening and I kept looking around the room and I got so scared. It sounded so bad and I kept telling myself I don't need this I am just fat there is nothng else wrong with me. Most of the people in this seminar were on oxygen and in wheelchairs or walkers. I told myself I could do this on my own. Well years later and probably 50 more pounds I realized I could not. Learning all about what was involved with having this procedure and having to go thru the 6 month supervised diet I found myself ready to do this.
You will know once you are ready!!

I have tried to post my pic collage with my picture from last Christmas and our picture from this year. I cannot believe how far I have come in 14 months overall. I am so happy where I am now, and am able to do so much more than ever!!
I am hoping you all had a very Merry Christmas!!

Outstanding !!!!
Merry Christmas

So as of today I am almost 3 months out from VSG and I have lost 55lbs.
Today is Christmas and things are very different this year, for the first time in my life I didn't overeat into misery at Christmas dinner, I have stayed well within my nutritional goals for the day, and (here's a big one for me) I came home and worked out when we got back from the family gathering I have never ever done that before. For me today was a few big NSVs that made the holiday all that much more enjoyable! ????
On the left was at my all time highest weigh, middle was at surgery, and right was a few weeks ago.

Today marks my one year mark from my gastric sleeve surgery. I cannot believe how fast this year has gone. So many things have changed for the better for me and my family. I am a happy participant in my life now, no more standing on the side lines watching life pass me by. All my labs are in the perfect zone, and oh I have lost some weight along the way.
I still have 25lbs to go to reach my first goal of 175 and I hope to do that by my birthday which is May 5th. I was hoping to get below 200 by today, but I will take 200.4 and keep moving forward.
This tool that I have been blessed with is such a god send for me. I am glad to still have restriction, so I am using this tool for all it is worth. I am confident I will reach my next goal.
