Is An 8 A Romotely Possible Size After Sugery?



Recommended Posts

I was banded 3 and half years ago started at a size 24 and now wear a size 8 or 10 depending on the pant. I have mantained my 125 weightloss for 2 and a half years. So def you can get to that size 8

Decided to check out this thread for some extra motivation. I am amazed at the stories. I have to remind myself that this is what LBT is about...People sharing experiences, knowledge, failures and successes. So many stories are so very similar which makes it encouraging to KNOW that it can be done.

My goal is also a toned & tight size 8. Before my official Pre op I was 245. Did my own thing to prepare for my official pre op...started that at 239lbs. Banded 9/7/12 at 231lbs. 223lbs today. My goal is 145lbs. Im 5.1" so that should be size 8. I am a tight 16 now. Your stories here really make me believe size 8 is in the near future.

Just joined My Fitness Pal. Also very inspiring. Please keep posting these success stories.

I started at 18/20 and am now down to an 8/10 depending on the pants. I really need to get tones up though. have really slacked off on working out. I have maintained for about 9 months now.

oh.... u got this.. dr told me not to get my hopes up and that starting at 328 lbs and a 24 26 that i should be happy to drop even 100 lbs. That i would probably be able to get to a 14 maybe a 12. WELL Im a size 6 and the smallest i have ever been. i still weight heavy, but im tall and i wanted it. If u want that 8 u can do it. Good luck;-)

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
