I'm not sure what size he is going to use...I didnt even think to ask!!! ugh! I'm 5' tall, and dont have much weight to lose. (so everyone says). I started at 180 pounds, lost 8 so far, and my surg is sched for 5/7 here in the Hudson Valley in NY. I'm SO sick and tired of being fat, that i'm actually pissed at myself. It's a darn shame that my 2 baby brothers jeans sizes are a 28x30! My unifoem pant measure in at 38x28....blech!

What Do I Do With All These Protein Shake Mixes?
I went on line and got some free samples, and I also bought from UNJURY. I have not tried any of them yet due to the fact that everyone is saying your taste buds change. The only ones i've really been drinking are the EAS carb control. I really like those.

I'm going in the 7th!! I lost my 5%..and then I cheated two days ago... I had my final clearance by my primary, and met with my sergeon yesterday. He asked me if I wanted my sleeve tighter because I am short and very small framed. Any one have any input on this?

Breast Loss
I'm 5' tall, and a FULL 36 d. I had breast cancer 2 years ago, with a VERY strong family history. I went to see the PS already (i'm still pre-op; sleeve date is 5/7). he said to come back to see him 6 months after I hit my goal weight....and these pups are being replaced!!! I'va always loved my boobs, but they have been tainted! PS laughed when I asked him if I could keep my D'S! I'm very small framed....and he chuckled when he said 800 cc's on my frame wont look quite right! We shall see! new boobies for Christmas! Miss Diva, can I ask you your height and new bra size? Did you do saline? Thanks!!
