I had my DS.

I weighed in at 203/35.2 at my surgeon's, I now weigh 123.8/21.2 (and still have edema in my face and foot)
I have lost a total of 62.5625 inches. I've lost 7.625 just in the last three months. (we stopped monthly measurements at the year mark and now measure every 3 months).
I was wearing a 16W pants (bordering an 18 but refusing to buy any knowing surgery was ahead)
I was wearing a 2x/3x top
I NOW wear a size 2-4 pants, depending on who makes them.
My tops are S/M.
I wore a size 8.5W shoe, now it's a 7 reg.
My ring size was almost a 10...(mine was very tight, my dh's almost fit). Thanks to my knuckle, I still wear a 7.5.

Pre-op measurements: Post-op measurements
Neck: 16 13.5
Upper Arm 15.5 10
Elbow 10 8.875
Wrist 6.625 6.25
Bust 46.375 36.5
Waist 46.1875 30.625
Hips 48.125 35.5
Upper thigh 26.25 17.5
Knee 15.625 13.25
Calf 14.25 12
Ankle 9.25 7.875

Smallest my waist ever got as an adult was a 27 and I was in the best shape of my life back then.

Thanks, Roz...I hope so. He gave me no guarantees as to how long my face would be numb and until the feeling comes back, smiling is hard.

Thanks, Lynn...wish I felt more awesome but most of that is due to my foot and my jaw...not how big or little I am.

Liz, why did you have to have the jaw surgery? You have come a very long way and what a transformation you have accomplished. I hope you are healed and well soon.
