Am 5'2", 3 months post op, and down 60 lbs. Had some difficulties along the way - gout and extreme nausea - but getting better every day.

Still plugging along post-op. I think I must look even shorter to people as I lose. I get so many "you're such a tiny person!" comments now even though I'm still obese.

5'2 ; surgery is in 4 days. Nervous and excited are the two defining words I can use right now. ;)

I had my surgery 12/28, feeling all kinds of ways, you may think mentally you are prepared however until you have had it your not. I think forums and buddies are great as they keep you accountable. I 4"11 and would love to be part of the forum

I'm 5'2.5" - can I join too? I was 265 back in March of 2016. I went in to the surgery a week ago at 211 on my dr's scale and as of today I weigh 205 on mine. I see pictures of people who weigh what I do and look quite average weight but on me, it's an awful lot and to add insult to injury, most of it seems to like to hang out in my face and belly!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
