When I played basketball in high school the coaches would always say I was 5'7 on the roster, I guess to make the other teams think I was taller. I was actually 5'3.5....or so I thought. I just went to the docter this past Friday and I was 5'4.5....I guess I got an inch taller having lost almost 20 pounds! I really do think that the thinner we get the taller we look....maybe it is because we are less "round"!!!

I too lost height... I always said I was 5'10" and with all the med testing and stuff my height was all over the place. One nurse finally said lets use the OFFICIAL measuring device at the office. She took me into a back room and there it was. I took off the shoes and got on. 5'8 3/4" Maybe being fat all these years have squashed me down? More surface for gravity to affect? LOL... a little...

Well I don't know about YOU ladies, but I saw on Oprah that for every 30lbs a man loses he gains an inch back!! LMAO!! I'm down almost 45lbs pre-op so I've got an inch and a half back! I checked!! HAHAHAHA

Uh oh! Christina is gonna yell at me again! LOL

Please don't take any offense! I'm just kidding. I'm hoping that someone who is having a bad day of recovery will at least get a smile out of this.

Are you sure she was talking about hight.......I heard you guys gain it back in another area......Lol

Yeah, and what's with this Three Quarters stuff? I'm 5'5 and three quarters... :blink: I just put 5'6... I'm not going to do all that "almost" garb.

Funny too though, I always put that I was 5'7 all my life, up until I was about to have my band surgery when they broke the news to me - that I'm actually fatter than I originally thought.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
