I'm a size 14, originally a size 24. I'm also only at 6 months! My goal is to be a size 12, but I just hit Onederland today and I'm considering pushing for a sz 10. Goal is so close!

I don't know what size I was at a year out, but I went from a 26 to 5/6 in 18 months. You will be swimming in that size 10 dress before you know it!

In the first year, started as size 20 or 22 and got to a size 6.

I had surgery Aug. 19, went from an 18/20 to a 14 and this past week the 14s are getting too loose--I can take off my favorite jeans without unbuttoning/unzipping them. Yay new jeans.

I went from a tight 20 to a 4. 271 to 135. I am 5'6"

I'm just coming up to 13 months out now and at my biggest I was a tight UK 32-34 I'm now a UK 8-12 depending on style and shop, you can do it, just be sure to be realistic and don't get disheartened enjoy your journey

I forgot to post this the other day..
Went shopping with my younger step sister and was trying on clothing... The jeans that I had just bought there a month ago were a bit loose, so I scooped up the same ones in a lower size ...yep. Size 8. Hello.
SINGLE DIGIT JEANS!!!!!!!!!!
Already wearing smalls in most dresses and tops, but THIS was a big one!!! Could likely go to 6 when these last pounds come off around my waist... 4's after a tummy tuck....Hot damn!
NSV on steroids.

I'm only 5 weeks out, but including the 2 weeks pre-op, I've gone from tight 22 to 18.

You will do great, just keep you eye on the prize, lol!!
I began at a very tight size 24, within a year I was a 00 and have maintained ever since.
The maintenance is the hardest part. Losing is easier, because you have the reward of watching the scale go down, NSV's, smaller clothes and many compliments. You will easily be able to get to size 10!

Wanting hear some awesome success stories and find out if my goal of going from a 22 to a 10 is setting myself up for disappointment. My husband was trying to be sweet and bought me a dress (10) I've been in love with ages specifically to wear on a vacation a year post-op. Anyway enough about me! How many sizes did you loose in a year??

This was my experience with surgery. My high weight 254 I went from a 22/24 pants and XX large top.
Goal weight 140 in six months.to a size 3/5 pants and a small to a med top. depending on the designer. I'm now 2 1/2 years out. I maintain my weight in the 130's.
During weight loss I dropped sizes quickly. My husband would have to tell me to get new clothing. I went from a 22/24 to 16 in two months. I can't remember after that how many times changed sizes. But it was many times..lol
I never thought I would be this size even with surgery.
On a side note: I made a video of my loss. I used the photos that my hubby took of me each month to compare my weight loss. Some of the photos make me laugh. I didn't realize my clothing was too large. I needed to change sizes. I had no clue.

I have gone from a 20/22 to a 10/12 in 9 months. I am hoping to get into an 8 before my one year post op. Also went from 2x in stretch pants to a large. If my excess skin on my stomach was removed I could easily do a Medium.

22-10 or 8 depending

Oh thanks, that was an older one, here is a recent one from last month when I hit my one year anniversary. In the blue I was at nearly my heaviest weight, I had lost a bit prior to surgery. Then on the right was at one year out.

Weightloss surgery is an exclusion in my insurance policy. Surgery is around 40k here and about 6k in Mexico. I've cleared it with my PC, Neuro, endo, and gastro. They are all on board on doing my after care and I feel pretty comfortable with my decision. Gotta have faith.
