Hi- I'm having a LBL and BL/BA in 3 days and I was just wondering if I should expect any size changes in my clothing after my LBL or if you are pretty much the same size after?

I'm pretty much the same size as I was pre-plastics. I'd still do it again in a heartbeat.

Thanks so much. I wonder if my contemplating PS will actually become a reality this year.

I hope so, Dasie!! I know how much getting rid of the skin has helped me mentally. So thankful!!

I started about 35-40 pounds above goal, so I had more removed (14.5 lbs), but I went from a big 16/small 18 pants to a 12 that could be a 10 if I had smaller thighs. Still can't believe I am saying I'm in a 12. But I think for the most part those that are closer to goal going in don't have as dramatic a shift in their clothes, but dang they look amazing!!

Best of luck to you!!!

I had so much extra skin and tissue hanging on my abdomen that I used to sort of pack it into my jeans (imagine your jeans working like spanx). At 2 weeks, post-op I tried on my jeans to discover that they fall off my hips now. I'm down at least one size, possibly two. Won't know for sure until the swelling goes away and I can finally get out and go shopping.

I think everyone is different and it really depends on how much and where your exra skin is situated.

Good luck with your surgery.

Surgery day I was 203. I had 16.3 removed and the week after surgery and I was still fitting in my 20's. I am now 6 weeks out and fitting in all 16's.

Tops went from an XL to L

Still waiting until Jan 1st to weigh. But finally got my eating back on track. Those carbs put up a tough fight, but I won!
