Hello fellow tall girls, I'm 5'9" and hoping to get below 175. Anything after that is gravy. I look at those pictures of Kate Middleton--she's 5'10" and weighs 120 pounds--and think, gee, she looks great, but, I gotta face facts: I'm never gonna be the Queen of England--and I'm never gonna be that size.
I was going to say, I'll keep losing til I'm happy with myself--but I'm 1 month and 1 day past surgery--and I'm pretty doggone happy right now!

I am 5'9" wondering what my fellow tall girls set as goal weight? I am 253lbs, goal weight 170 tentatively.

Hello all. I was sleeved 12/16/13. I am 5'9" start weight was 256lbs. I was pre diabetic, cholesterol was high and I had acid reflux. I currently weigh 195lbs. Labs are great. I feel wonderful! So grateful for this surgery. I hope everyone takes advantage of their second chance. Be blessed!

Approved finally. The dr office didn't send the papers until last Tuesday.

As requested, a picture of a moderately toasted me on Christmas day, doing an impression of an aircraft coming into land!
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Dancing on very high heels.. No good. Just no good!

As of today, I'm in 'onederland'....
That's right, people. I weigh under 200lbs.
I think the last time that happened, I had just been born.
Yippppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Very nice!!! Great job!

I'd prefer Sparkly Princess of all that Glitters, personally.

So as you all know I was denied by my insurance. So I had to do an appeal. I sent in a lot of medical records a letter from my PCP and a letter I wrote. I sent all that in on Dec 30. They received it on the 31st. They told me it will be 30 days before they made a decision. So I checked about a hour ago and they reversed the denial and approved it. I AM TOO HAPPY. I TRUELY THANK GOD BECAUSE WITHOUT HIM, IT WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE!!!!

WOW! The feedback has been great!!! The hubbs and I talked about it. At first, he was defensive, but he's come around. It's SO true, communication is important, but I was dreading telling him bc of what his response might be. I think he had an a-ha moment and discovered somethings about himself. I also have been evaluating my "role" in our marriage more. All the input has been very helpful! :-)

That chest pain/stuck feeling is normal...I had it in the hospital and thru week 1....every now and then if I drink too fast or the liquid is too cold I still feel that way.

I have a fear of looking like a bobble head doll....I got a big ol head yall!! Remember when Oprah lost all that weight the first time and she looked like her neck was straining to hold her big ass head up?? I fear that more than loose skin!!

Hey all!! Sleeved 12/16 Sw;252, morning of surgery 236, CW 210. Having a relatively easy go of it. Protein Shakes are no longer my friend and I have lots of fatigue, but no pain, no problems getting my fluids in either.

My surgeon just set a 160lb goal for me...Im 5'9. I am good with 170. We shall see!

I pureed some turkey and sweet potatoes with the juice from the potatoes...3 bites later I was stuffed!! They were the best 3 bites EVER! Im on full liquid, but got the ok to puree some Christmas dinner from my surgeon yesterday.

I'm 5'10", starting weight was 252. I'm 8 months post op and now 179, my goal is 170 because that will put my BMI under 25. Currently my BMI is 25.8. If I never lost another pound I'd still be the happiest person in the world! I'm wearing size 10 jeans (sometimes size 8) and medium tops. I finally feel NORMAL!!
