Size 18 ---

When I first started this journey--I set myself a small goal---I wanted to get to a size 18 (size I wore when I got married--many years and a divorce ago)--I even purchased some clothes in that size and put them away in my closet. Well today they fit!!! This may not seem like a big deal to many people--But I was wearing a size 34-36 woman before my surgery--5 months ago. I am a very happy person today---My next goal is a size 16--(which I wore when I graduated from High School in 1966. Yep, I have been overweight since childhood. Linda

Congratulations Linda, This is a huge accomplishment. Isn't it a great feeling? This surgery is so life changing. I feel like I am in control of myself now. I too am now in an 18 dress, and 14/16 pants. I started at size 30 dresses, 4x tops, and 22/24 pants. 18's aren't where I want to be, but I'm sure a lot closer and happier than I was. Keep up the good work!! We'll get there. Stacy McClain 310/223/150 goal

Congratulations Linda!!! That is the size I am wearing now too and size 16 is not far at all! The 18 is baggy on my butt and crotch area but the waist fits fine. Erin

Congratulations Linda You go girl. What a wonderful blessing!!! It is so awesome to see the blessings we all receive from this wonderful surgery. Enjoy every minute of it.

whoo hoo Linda!!! That's so friggin' awesome!!!!

Good for you. I started skipping sizes though. You may not need a 16. I went from 20 to a 16 and now am only buying 12s. Karen
