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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
