Seeking Buddies 5'2" & Under

@@nina1562 oh my, I didn't realize you had the band before? Wow, lots of surgery for this Hope the sleeve works for you! I did not have to do a diet plan before hand either. I did weigh myself and I am down 5 pounds since I went into surgery. Yay! I will say that I was one of the unlucky ones and did not have health insurance coverage for this as my United healthcare declined me. My insurance wanted me at a 40 BMI for at least five years. Therefore, I sought out ways I could pay cash and believe it or not I went to Mexico for my surgery. It was a wonderful experience! However, I do not get the doctor follow ups like you will be having. That is why I decided to get on these apps for my support system and I do have a patient coordinator that I can have access to 24 seven with the doctor that I used. I was about 162 years ago and really only had 30 pounds to lose because at 1:30 I would be good but I fractured my right ankle terribly and had put on weight ever since then. So, it was getting difficult being older and not able to exercise as much. And, now I'm hoping to get back to that one 60 then to the 130 and God willing I get down to 115 because then I have room to fluctuate may be between 115 and 125. This would be my ideal.

Goal weights are tricky at our height. The lowest I recall weighing was in the 120s and I looked pretty great but that was over 10 years ago. I think I would look more than fine at 100-115 lbs but I just don't think I will ever weigh so little. Just want to get as much weight off as possible and feel healthier...more energetic...stronger.

@@dolcegirl I my self have United Health care I was denied the first time but that was due to their policy of me going through a 6 moths supervised diet but once I finished all their requirements I was approved with in a week and I also had my lap band in Mexico because I didn't have insurance back than and the hospital and doctor were one of the best in my opinion...who's your doctor in Mexico?

I wanted to start a forum for members who are pre or post op and are 5'2" and under. I am 4'9" and post-op. In 4 months, I have lost over 50 lbs and would like to connect with others of my body type so we can compare stories and support each other.

I'm 5'3 does that count?? I'm pre-op right now if everything goes smoothly my surgery date is Aug 26th

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
