Well including preband diet starting in 10/08 I've lost about 140 pounds went from 30/32 bottoms to 20/22 depending on brand. What I find frustrating is I'm prob. 2 sizes smaller on top. So you'd think I was safely in regular sizes for shirts. I usually find that XL Misses is significantly smaller than 1X. Often 1X is too big but XL is too small.

I have an "apron" that I know is going to stick with me even when I lose weight. I dread it and can already see it starting to sag more and I'm not even banded yet...this is just with my slow weight loss over the past few months. I KNOW I'll be applying for financial aid somewhere along the line for a Tummy Tuck because I know that apron is going to want to "Hang" around......I don't think any amount of exercise is going to help that! Maybe I'll put a collection jar on my desk and ask for donations for a tummy tuck? Although my insurance does pay for tummy tucks if they are deemed to be "medically necessary" - - I'll have to see what is considered medically necessary when the time arrives.....Good Luck to you and congratulations on losing 80 pounds...that is AWESOME!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
