So my question is for people who have already been banded. If you have a hourglass shape will losing the weight make you lose your curvy shape?

Well I don't want to loose my curves at all so my goal is about 180..I don't want to be super skinny! I haven't lost the weight yet but I'd say if you loose too much then yeah ur gonna loose them!

I think we all want to look good and vanity is part of that. Your shape will be similar but smaller...maybe like wen you were younger.

But I just want to remind everyone that the real reason for doing this is your health and living a long life to see your kids grow up etc. I dont think we should set goals on how our curves look but rather on health risk...normal BMI means the same risk as everyone else who is not overweight. So if you want your curves and to set your goal in the 'overweight' range you are still at elevated health risk. Just my opinion..

I still have the same shape of body - just less of it. I've always been bigger on top and skinnier on the bottm. Hasn't changed. I wish I had an hourglass figure! I wear a size 6 or 7 on the jeans - while I'm wearing an XL on top. Oh well. Better than 3X that I was wearing 2 yrs ago! So, your shape should remain the same just a little (or a lot!) smaller!

I was very healthy when I weighed 180...I might go lower than that but that's if I can...I'm 5'6 also....and let me add that at that weight I had NONE of the health problems that I do now. The main reason I am doing this is to generally FEEL better inside AND out ...I don't think I need you to remind me, xavier, the reason why I am doing this for myself...we can talk about how we are going to look afterwards all we want...I'm sure YOU did also!

exactly ! I want to be healthy but health is also a matter of feeling beautiful. I feel beautiful now, I just know that I need to lose weight. I don't want any health problems associated with obesity. I would rather get this handled before its out of control.... but no matter what I think I'll be sexy... it was just a concern... thank you all for your replies

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
