Brenda, I am pretty sure the last time I was a size 4, I was probably about AGE 4, LOL.

You deserve to feel so proud! Will you please remind me... which surgery did you have & when?

I started with band in 2013, but was in a bad clinic - they overfilled and I ended up with a revision to sleeve in 2015. I developed SEVERE reflux, and converted to bypass in August of 2019. My bypass is not as long as most because I was no longer obese. My starting weight was 308 and today I am 154.

You are doing fabulous. Are you pretty much where you want to be now. Or are you shootings for a side 2.

I would like to lose another 14 pounds and be at 140 (I am 5'6"). I don't know where that will put me as far as size. I also need to have skin removal, so that may be part of the 14 pounds, and I know "debulking" that skin will bring my size down.

I'm also 5'6" but currently 167 lbs and a size 12. My goal weight is the 154 you're at right now (a "normal" BMI)!

My surgeon anticipates taking off 12-14 pounds (I'll be happy if it's 10) with my body contouring, but l have a lot more fatty tissue attached to my skin than you do. Looking at your pics, and being a size 4, sounds like your surgery will be just skin. You'll probably be a size 0 after that is gone!
