Wow, some inspiration here. I had my DS 2 yr 4 months ago and have lost 14 stone 13lb. I had to go private to have DS as it wasn't available on NHS and had to go to Leeds. Started with BMI 63.9 and size 34/36 - now BMI 29.8 and size 14/16 top and 16/18 bottom. Plastic surgeon reckons if and when I can afford plastics (turned down on NHS) I would be a 12 top and 12/14 bottom - more than I ever expected. Now maintainence i going to be the tricky time.
Good luck to all on their journey and for sharing your stories

Hi Joanne, Im a 32 and saw my surgeon end of September. He said he wanted me to loose as much as possible before surgery as he will not do it. Am/was so scared I had waited all this time so I have been on a huge weight loss diet. It is so so hard though, my OH cooks for me, but I have lost 23lb so far. I should be having my bypass or sleeve (which the surgeon said he will do if my BMI is over 55
Im hoping that I keep with the healthy eating till at least my pre op. I dont want to go back, im going forwards and hopefully "down in size!" LOL.

i was at least a 30/32 clothes size at the time of my op
my journey started march last year, i got my funding approved in july (after a few speedbumps), had consultation in august, therapy session in october and got my surgery date thorugh in the january which was for march this year.
I have currently lost about 8 1/2 stone and this was the best decision i ever made as far as i am concerned at this moment in time
Clothes sizes have changed loads
Tops - now size 20/22 - was size 32
Skirts - now size L/XL (us sizes) - was 5XL
Trousers - can fit in the size 24 at a squeeze - haven't worn trousers in about 10 years lol
Best of luck with your journey x
Wow, ur all doing so well, i just hope i can do half as well as all of u x

Grateful bypasser
It was the thought of moving up from a size 30 to a 32 that made me seriously talk to my GP about weight-loss surgery.
To be honest, I had high blood pressure and was worried about my health as I weighed over 23 stones and my BMI was 54, but it was the vanity factor that did it for me.
I know it sounds very shallow, but I was terrified about hitting the top of the standard Evans size ranges
I feel quite ashamed, writing that.
I managed to lose 42 pounds before my op, which helped enormously with the grieving process over food and made me much fitter in preparation for surgery. I'm glad I did try so hard pre-op as it reduced my waiting time by at least 6 months.
I recovered very quickly and am enormously grateful for the opportunity. I'm currently 12 stones 10lbs and wearing a size 14 in most things.
Good luck!

I can't wait for my op in February. I just ordered a load of tops from FashionWorld for my work Christmas Party next friday and am sending the whole lot back as they're too tight and too short (too much belly hanging below!). Nothing in Evans fits. Gonna stick with my traditional black trousers and the top I wore 2 years ago (a stretchy jersey material so it still fits!) in the hope no-one remembers it but if they do so what - next year I'll have a whole new range of shops to try!
