Oh, yeah. I've tried on old things in my closet before getting rid of them, marvelling that they fit at much higher weights than they did pre-op.

Vanity sizing, I think, has also played a part at me fitting into sizes 2/4/6 at 152 pounds (and I'm waaaaay shorter than Hayley - 5'4"). I've got big bones, too. Made of plutonium

I think the sizes have changed since I was a kid back in the dark ages! But I am now wearing a 4-6 and when I weighed this much when I was younger I wore a 13.

anyone who has ever been sized for a dress knows that dressmaker's size differently than chain stores. Here is a chart so you can see exactly what size you are. It sucks but that the fact. I personally always take the lowest weight on the scale and the smallest size I can cram my a$$ into.

I owed it to myself to research the duodenal switch before consenting to any other weight loss surgery and so do you. Check out DSFacts.com and DuodenalSwitch.com for more information. Remember think twice, cut once, revisions are risky and revision surgeons are rare.

Oh my goodness Felicia----I was JUST talking to my husband about this today!!
Today I weigh LESS than I have in over 15 years!!
10 YEARS ago I had lost down to #235 for our 25th anniversary wedding vows renewal...I bought a beautiful size 22 dress...Stuck it back in the closet and never got rid of it. January 2007 I was at my all time high of #305 over last year I lost down to #258--- I was ABLE to wear the size 22 dress at a Christmas party last December even though I was #23 pounds heavier than when I bought it!!
I pulled it out today and at #231 today it is way too big!..Only 4 pounds LESS than when I FIRST wore it....I don't understand what happened!! I was wondering DO I wear my cloths too tight??!? I asked my husband he said no your weight just seems to have redistributed. WEIRD!! Take care hugs p

I don't ever remember being this small. I wore a size 12 in 5th grade for about 5 minutes. At my "normal" weight weight years ago, I was 10 pounds heavier than I am now and wore a size 14. Now, it is a 6-8-10 depending on the cut. (8s are the most comfy.)

It's all in the height, I think!

With the DS: there is no stoma, so no stoma strictures; there are no limitations (other than volume) against drinking before, during or after meals; 80% of ingested fat is malabsorbed; 98.9% of type II diabetics are CURED of this devastating disease, with data showing stable cure over 10 years out; there is the best average weight loss and most durable (average 76% excess weight loss going out 10 years) of all of the bariatric surgeries. That's why I had a DS!
