I am at the early pre-op stage; I will see my doctor in a few weeks to discuss wls. Your post struck a chord with me, not only because we are the same height but also because just when I think that wls is the right path for me I start wondering whether I should just stick to dieting like I have for years. I have a lower bmi than most people getting this surgery but I also have co-morbidities that have led me to research this option. I guess I figured that once I went through with the surgery, all of my doubts would disappear but your post has me thinking differently now.

I see that you posted your message on January 1st but that your surgery was on 12/28/2016. Do you still feel the same about the surgery now that you are almost a month post-op?

I am 4' 11" too. Do you mind sharing your stats? Hoping to find someone who is similar. I was 199 before my pre-op diet, 192 on the day of surgery (11/18/16), and I am currently 171 and have been stuck here for two weeks.

Hi everyone! Am new here but had my VSG on April 18, 2016., 43 yrs old, 4' 10.5" highest weight was 248, pre-surgery weight 219, surgery date weight was 213, current weight is 163 ( been stuck at this since October) and goal weight is 120/125.

Hi All,

I will love to join this group too. I am 5' and was sleeved on 2/15/2017. My starting weight was 160lb and in 11days post surgery, I am 148lbs. Since last 4 days I haven't lost any weight. Any ideas on how to come out of this stall are welcome.

[shannon1980 10]

I'm also 5' and will have surgery march 13. I currently weigh around 180 and have my pre op on Wednesday. I wonder if our rate of losing weight is bc of our height?
