Hey, y'all! I would love it if everyone would chime in and give as many answers as they can.

Based on this size chart, what size are/were you, and what was your BMI?

If you are between sizes, go down a size, and if your waist is a different size than your hips, then choose the larger size.

And if the chart doesn't cover your size, just guess by adding a couple inches per size.

I am sure you will if you keep to your plan! We tend to lose a little slower because we are considered light weights, but I am still losing pounds and inches every month. Good luck!

My BMI is 22. I wear between a size 2 and 4.

My preoperative BMI was 41 and I wore a size 20.

Congratulations on your tiny size!! How long did it take you to get a 2 & 4? How often are you working out and stuff?

It took a year and a half because I was a slower loser. I started at 218 pounds on surgery day and it took 18 months for me to lose 100 pounds.

I exercise 6 days per week, usually. I run 20+ miles a week and lift heavy weights 3 times weekly. I also use a stationary bike, elliptical machine, and stair mill at the gym.

Well I am 5'10

Also I had a panniculectomy on June 5th that helped a lot! Lol Before my panniculectomy I was a size 22 bottom

216 lbs, 42 BMI, size 16 pants.

Now 145 lbs, 28 BMI, size 8 pants.


Height: 5'0"
Weight for WLS consultation: 216 lbs.
Surgery date: 2/13/17
Goal: -71 lbs for healthy BMI (about 145 lbs).
Current weight: 145 lbs, now ready to lose 15 more past goal.
My profile picture is not me. It's my "FITspiration" body.

Starting BMI of 43.9, 256 lbs, and I was a size 18, by that chart I'd be a 20W
My BMI is now 37.6, I'm 219 lbs, and I'd be between 14W and 16W on that chart

Edited July 28, 20179 yr by PAstudent

Starting BMI 45.7, 242 pounds, size 20/22

Current BMI 21.9, 116 pounds, size 4, sometimes 2

By that chart, I'd be a 0. I'm a 26 inch waist, with loose skin. I've no doubt after plastics, if I had them, I would be a 0/2 but at 7 years post sleeve they're a want not a need.

Starting BMI: 37.8; 220lbs; size 18
Current BMI: 27.8; 162lbs; size 8

Surgeon goal is 140lbs; my personal goal is 125-130lbs

Starting BMI: 49, size 24/3X

Current BMI: 34, size 16/18.

By the chart I should be a 16, and that sounds right to me, but the 16s I have (which are at least 8 years old) are still a little tight for me. But all my 18s (most of which are plus-size 18s, not regular size 18s) are too big for me. So I'm in a weird place at the moment with not having any bottoms fitting me correctly. Luckily I have a lot of skirts, and they look better than pants that get really droopy as the day goes on.

I think another thing to consider is body shape. I'm a definite pear, so my bottoms are often 1 or 2 sizes bigger than my tops. So my sizes are probably different than someone who has more of an apple shape, even if we are at the same BMI.

BMI: 47 Size: 22W
