Just wondering what is your current body type? For those sleeved did your body type change (pear to apple, apple to hourglass)? How tall are you and what is your goal weight? Did you set it or did your doctor recommend it?

I am a pear - pre-surgery

I am 5'5, my initial goal weight was 160lbs. I recently changed it to 150lbs. I think seeing I need to lose more than 100lbs scared me. However, after I did my bone density exam I realized I am not big boned.

I hope that after surgery, I still am a pear or an hourglass.

I have several areas I'd like to tighten up by about an inch! boobs...stomach...thighs!

I'm going to have to settle for some laser hair removal for now! =)

My body shape is so strange. I'm smaller on top (tiny boobies always lol) with a big butt and thighs- though I'm not quite a pear. And I have a big tummy- but definitely not an apple. I've always called myself a papple lol. I definitly hope my body shape changes a bit with weight loss. When I lost weight years ago my shape changed a lot- I lost most of my apple-ness and I looked more straight up and down- I don't even know what you call that lol- except with a booty still. Im convinced that if I never gained weight ( always been big) I would have the figure of a boy lol

I have an hourglass shape even now with all the extra weight. I actually like my shape and hope I don't lose a lot of butt.

Are you getting lasered? I am and I love it! That is why I will not take Biotin after my surgery. It makes hair grow in places I do not want it to grow.

Yes, I have the first consult for laser hair removal this Friday! I'll have to talk to the Dr. about biotin because I've been taking it for the last month. I haven't noticed any significant change in hair growth since taking the biotin but it's not two months yet and I figured I'd give it 3 months. I'm doing my underarms for sure and hopefully bikini+ if I can afford it! My skin is so sensitive and I get ingrown hairs like razor rash even from waxing my bikini area and that's just no good! Wish me luck!

I had a huge hourglass figure..bottom was big small waist ok boobs..now I look more like a regular hourglass shape..everything is becoming more proportional

I currently have the most unfortunate bodyshape: apple! All of my weight is in my torso, with small breasts - and practically no waist.

Can't wait to see what lies beneath this layer of excess I've been wearing my entire life. Sigh....

I live in S. AMerica and it is so much cheaper to get laser here. I pay @ 60 per season for my underarms. It just makes me realize they r scamming us in the states. I thought about biking but I would like to get surgery first.

I hope my shape remains but on a smaller scale. I wonder if u are an apple now, after surgery could ur shape change.

Hourglass? I wear a 16 misses in jeans I have a butt and muscular legs . I have a defined waist and I am a 38 F/G depending on the bra and a XL or XXL Top.When I was at my smallest my body was the same except I was a size 8 wearing a 36 D and M/L Top.

I'm a shorty barely 5 feet and very busty, at my highest weight I looked like one of those little statues very round at almost 280 pounds. When I was a teenager, weighing about 135 I would say I was very curvy - busty but petite. My body is changing but in proportion...my boobs have gone down, my stomach is down over 10" and my hips and thighs are down too, even my legs and my feet! I now have a neck and everyone says my neck and shape is showing itself!

I feel great about my changing body...even though I still have a long way to go...I feel so much stronger and positive about my ability to change!!

I've always been a pear, larger hips and bottom with somewhat smaller boobs. I was really worried that I'd end up even more pear shaped, but I'm now more hourglass shaped. Once I have my tummy tuck, that will be very pronounced I think.

Young adult: Long, tall, athletic, boy-shaped but big up top.

Overweight adult: Apple, like a beach ball with arms and legs, HUGE up top.

Postop adult: Long, tall, still big up top (even if they are shaped a totally different way), starting to feel lean again. Getting back to my boy-shape with boobs. LOL I have definite curves, but my waist isn't tiny, nor my hips particularly flared.

After high school I was lean mean muscle machine, but shape was more a board with big boobs and big muscle thighs, I don't have a waist lol, so I find pants that Are at or above hip bones fit the best, I wear smaller size, if I wear high wasted pant the hip and butt are baggy and looks bad. I now have 34 DD chest, m/L TOP wearer size 6 pants, in 8th grade I was 32 C wore size 3 125lbs. I look like a boy with boobs lol

I was shapely with big boobs. I don't know what type it was, but it was the one the boys liked, :-)

and apparently the kind that just goes to round when you become overweight. I'm that shape now, lol.

Worst shape: I'm an apple. NO boobs, NO ass, it's all in the tummy. But thankfully that is changing now that I've lost 60 pounds since being sleeved July 3! Unfortunately, I will never have boobs or an ass ... But soon I won't have such a big middle!
