 |  Don't qualify for wls
Well, I just came back from my Dr. appointment, He informed me that I no longer qualify for wls. He is so happy and so am I my starting bmi over 60 down to 30 , Everything is going well, I have a hernia that they will repair but we decided to wait a little while hopefully I can lose a little more and while the do the repair they will be able to take a little skin as well. (through insurance) . I was going to wait and go to the store this week end and find out what size I wear and buy a pair of jeans and work slacks as all my clothes are baggy again. I got out of my dr. appt. pretty earley so dh said you want to go today instead, sure I say... nervous I go in the dressing room from a size 20-16, ok... I started out as a size 34 and I now wear a size .....drum roll... can you believe it .... a size 12 !!! I know, I can't beleive it either, we had to go to a whole diffrent store I've always shopped in plus size store or online. I only brought 2 pair of pants and a couple of shirts as the size 12 were not tight so I hope this means that I will need a smaller size soon.(lol) well, I'm so happy and excited I seem to be rambling , Thanks for all your support but I still have a little ways to go.

Thats great news but I am confused. Your stats say you had DS? Why are you wanting another surgery on top of that? Good job on all the weight loss. I know first hand it is hard work!

Congrats on the size! Are you saying you would no longer qualify for surgery? It's pretty neat to find that out!

Congrats 
@ANSLEY
lost had DS in two stages-stage 1 = sleeve, stage 2 DS. The first date is for sleeve, the second date, the switch (no pun intended) from sleeve to DS.
Sleeve can be done as a stand alone procedure, but it also is done for those who have a lot to lose, as the first stage of DS.

That is so cool, Lost! What a great accomplishment, and one I'll bet you never thought you'd do in that fashion.

Brooks, I think she's saying that if she tried to start the process today, she wouldn't qualify. This is a point that many people use as a clear indicator of success, whether they've had a surgical modification or are non-ops who now couldn't have the surgery if they wanted to!!!
Way to go, lost!! You're on the right path, lost no more!!
