Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result.

So my friend was cleaning out her closet this weekend and had a bunch of smaller clothes for me to pick what I wanted from. This included 2 pairs of pants, sizes 8 and 10. I looked at them and was like there's NO way those are gonna fit me, but I'll take them and try them anyway, if you insist.
I get home and am trying on various things, and got to the pants.. and I say to myself, let's get this over with, I'm not even gonna get them past my hips.. grumble grumble. So I grab the 10's and pull them up, past hips and all, and fasten them, and they fit! I'm doing my happy dance and pick up the 8's and I'm like I KNOW these won't fit, but here goes nothing... I pulled them on, they went over my thighs and hips, and I was able to fasten them and zip them up! OMFG! an 8!! They were a little tight, and I wouldn't wear them without a long shirt that covers my pelvic area where my little apron sits, but THEY FIT! WOW!
I am just amazed. I thought I was doomed to be stuck in a 12/14 because of my 'birthing hips' lol. I just can't believe it! The last time I was a size 8.. I was probably 8! Even at age 14 I was in a size 12/14. Unbelieveable! YAY ME!
PS. I was thinking these have to be vanity sized.. there's no way I'm in 8 or 10.. but a lady from work brought me 3 pairs of size 10 jeans that were too long for her, different brands, and they all fit, and were even a little loose. So it must be true.. I'm pinching myself here, seriously!

I am in the same place.... exactly....an eight is a bit snug but a the 10 is solid.
I can't f-ing believe it!!!!!
I was rummaging through some black velveteen pants tonight at Costco.
They had a 6 and an 8.left
Irealized that I was that 8 but I still couldn't bring myself to buy them because I can't grasp that they will fit!!!
Anyway, Good job!!! You have come a long way baby.
Good work!
That is so awesome!! What a great feeling. Congrats on your big accomplishment.
Inspiring...

What a nice surprise. I am still in a size 10 pant, but confess to being pretty happy about that as I also expected to live in 12/14, with some hips I have as well. :-)
Happy for you.
