  1. Does anybody know what a 1x translates to in regards to sizes for women?

      Berry78

      I think it's something between 18 and 20.

      1X is a 18-20 or a 16-18 Plus size. XL is a 14-16 or 16-18 regular sizes

      The range is annoying becuse right now I wear an 8-10. some places that is a medium but some places 6-8 is a medium and 10-12 is a large. 10-12 is too big, and 6-8 is too small :angry:

      Womens clothing sizes are pure hell

    Bowel Problems

    The vision issues can be caused by vitamin deficiencies, definitely vitamin A. I've had blurry vision in the last month. I did a google search and found others who have had this due to deficiencies.

    How do you view overweight people now that your thin?

    Yes! I had a coworker ask me if I'd been on vacation for the past few months & she passed me nearly everyday but didn't notice me until I dropped "43" pounds, smh!

    That blows my mind! I've seen this. When I was 235pfs people walked past me like I didn't exist.

    DEPRESSED AND DISCOURAGED

    31 pds in 3 months? That's an awesome loss! I would personally prefer to lose slow vs rapidly but it seems to be out of my control. I'm down 43 pds since my surgery date 10 weeks ago. I think it's important to realize everyone has their own journey and our bodies are different. chin up, you're doing awesome!

    Thank you vets

    I concur! I love hearing advice from people 2+ years out, gives me hope, courage & motivation!

    Why?

    I am not far out but thes are good questions! What initially attracted me to VSG was the fact that I would never feel hungry again but I have learned that the gherlin returns..as far as regain is concerned I think people fall into bad habits & thus gain weight. I have also heard of slow digestion for some as a reason but please take my 2 cents with a grain of salt as I learned this from others stories.

    Low BMI - VSG 6/2 (panicking!)

    You have to do what's best for you! Once you have it done that's it, no going back. I was nervous leading up to my procedure but I did it! And I feel I had no choice. I was 235 pds at 4"11 yoyed for 6 years and was borderline diabetic & I think I have undiagnosed pcos from the weight gain over the years. I couldn't live another year like that. Hope you find comfort in your decision.

    Lapband to VSG

    This makes me feel I did best choice by not getting lap band! Vsg is a great tool and is very popular. I would research and do hw before making decision! Best of luck to you

    Tips please

    I am convinced im doing this all wrong. I forget to eat & know I should be on a schedule. Today I took a client home early because they had illness and I felt like I was going to vomit every time I coughed. I began drinking a premier shake and the feeling eventually went away. I can't help but feel I'm sabotaging my health .

    First Dr Visit questions

    I feel I didn't ask enough, it was "I'm prediabetic and done trying on my own, I'm having wls". I wish I would've asked more, but my mind was made up. Good luck

    Pyloric Stenosis/Pyloromyotomy

    Ohhh, we'll definitely look into the dr's findings and take careful consideration in regards to if it can affect you post op or what not.

    Pyloric Stenosis/Pyloromyotomy

    Initial consultation, or post op? I am unsure of what that is

    Not sleeping at night.

    I experienced this also I was a few weeks out and would feel shaky and could not sleep, heart was racing & everything. I think some of it was stress related for me.

    How do you feel?

    Hope you feel better!
