I had surgery on July 12th Im 8 months out now and down from a size 32 to a size 18- 20. My wt was 384 on the day of my surgery and Im not at 244. I now wt less than my husband...for the first time since I met him. I would give anything to be at a size 14 now. Just yesterday I got 6 pairs of size 18 jeans from Lane Bryant. Looking forward to wearing them comfortably. Some fit fine and some are just a tad bit to tight. Guess now I'll be looking for 16s in a month or two. Im just hoping I can be a 14 by the time I hit my one yr anniversery. My husband and I are hiking more now and taking walks. I didnt exercise much before with winter and all. Im hoping I can keep all the exercise going this spring. I have no idea how many inches Ive lost. I didnt take them when I started...but I do try and take them each month now so I do know how much Im loosing from month to month

I JUST POSTED MY 8th month pictures on my profile if u want to check them out

Hi Shann.... I had my lap Rny on 7/10/ 06 . At my consultation I was 205lbs ( 5'0" ) but gained an additional 10 lbs during the few weeks before my pre op diet...(too much last supper eating...). On surgery morning I was down to 205lbs and wearing a very tight size 20 pants and xl tops. Presently I am at 145.6lbs (- 69.4lbs) and lost a total of 42.5 inches and wearing a size 12 P pants and med tops. Marleen

Hi Shann!! You look fab! I had surgery 7/12/06 --started out at 257 and am currently 179 so I have lost 78 lbs. I went from a super tight 24 to a 14 now. I am a slow loser compared to many but I feel great. I do know that i need to start working out more and that will help--now with the warm weather coming in--i sure will start that!
