Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  Sizes Now don't get me wrong, I am just tickled pink to be wearing sizes 14 & 16 and I wouldn't change a thing -- but I got into Size 14 jeans at 202 Lbs; while it has been quite some time since I was in this size I seem to remember weighing less the last time I was in a size 14 -- like around 160 Lbs or something. Have sizes changed that much? I mean if it keeps going like this and I get even close to my goal weight of 150 I might be looking at a size 8 or 10 -- I HAVE NEVER in all my life (well maybe when I was a little kid) but not since I was ten years old -- have I been in anything smaller than a Size 12? And what's up with Size O? I don't remember that ever being a size -- of course I haven't been able to shop in the regular clothes sizes for quite some time but geeeezzzz! Again, I'm not complaining, I love the fact that I will NEVER AGAIN have to wear "Womens" or "Plus" sizes and I love the fact of my shrinking waist and hips (although I wish my boobs would start shrinking more) but I'm just wondering if sizes have actually been made "bigger" over time and the new Size 0 was really a Size 4 when last I was in a Size 12??  |

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | That's what it seems. I read an article once about this, but I can't remember the details. They were just talking about how today's sizes are much more generous. So a size 6 from 40 years ago would defintely be a smaller size now. They were also saying how models are so thin to look like a 'hanger' for the clothes. And celebs are complaining because they used to get the freebie sample clothes, but now the sizes are much smaller - hence feeling to fat, etc..., etc...

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass   |  Okay!! ...Here I go... Speaking from the "DESIGNER" -- (I've been designing women's apparel for the last 16+ years...just in case you didn't know - or were wondering if I was legit! LOL!!) So... FIRST -- in 1991 things were quite different....my fit model was a size 8....and my mannequin was likewise. Now....my fit model is a size 6....mannequin is 'called' a size six but the measurements are the SAME as the size 8 all those years ago! SECOND -- every size has an additional 1/2" for sizes 0-10....and an addition 3/4" on 12-16 in the Missy line. Then in plus sizes it's MUCH MUCH more!! I did Plus size for about a year for Coldwater Creek....ugh...that was a challenge....they wouldn't let us be creative...and keep us in such a SLUMP!! yuck.... LOL.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Jill way to go girl!! Kenya I used to wear 32 and dropped size to 10! and very close to wear one digit clothes! this is really interesting! I wore the teen numbers for a long while and I'm so excited once I went down to 10! Jill I don't know about the sizes if they have jumped down or up becoz it's my first experience in my entire adulthood life! Happy losing ladies, and be beautiful and sexy. Hanadi |

| Super Moderator  | Let me tell you my experience. A few years ago, I bought here, a pair of pants (or trousers in Brit English) by an Italian brand that has shops world wide, and the size tags on their clothing is world wide as well--in other words, they have all the representative sizes on one tag, so you know what your size is in several country's designations. Later on, the same season, I was in the US, and walked into the brand shop, where they were having a sale. I happened to find a pair of the same pants in a different color. The size tag said the pants were a couple of sizes smaller than my size. The store clerk recommended this pair to me, but I declined, saying, it's not my size. Well, she talked me into trying it on, at least, so I did. Lo and behold, it fit!!! As a matter of fact, it was the exact same fit as my other one. So, I was going like  Well, anyway, I did buy it, and I took it to the store I'm a regular customer here, to have the length adjusted. The store clerk here compared the actual size of the pants, and looked at the size tags, and was I am never going to by any clothes anywhere, unless I can try them on first, this experience made me suspicious of size tags  Incidentally, I believe this type of thing is called vanity sizing.
