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.

Sleeved on 5/17 - last time I weighed I'd lost 22lbs - that includes Pre-op diet. I'm 5'2; started at 210lbs. This is week 4- I got dehydrated and actually passed out at work on Monday morning and was transported to hospital via ambulance. I got fluids and was fine. Since then I've been drinking like a fish. I feel Water logged. This week has been a struggle to eat - yuck. The smell of food turns my sleeve! Still having some dizziness' date=' fatigue, headaches, nausea and grouchy as a hornet. I've felt great til this week. I'm really not able to exercise yet due to the dizziness. I know this is temporary and it actually is getting better each day. Protein & Vitamins are a must for me. Cannot skip them. If I do, I can hardly get out of bed! I have found the mornings are much more difficult for me than prior to surgery. My guess is from the lack of food & water during the night. Anywho... Still very excited about a new life!

Love,

Hi - 5'2" buddies. I am scheduled for my sleeve on 7/17. Wish me luck...

Anyone in the VA - Hampton Roads area??

Happy 4th to everyone

Hello, I will be sleeved in 1 week and I am excited, but a little nervous. I have been preparing for my 5 day pre-op diet. Shopping for all that I could think of that I would need. I started weening myself Monday by replacing breakfast and adding a meal each day to replace. I figure 5 days would not be too hard. Next week will be here before I know it.

I got my surgery date today .... Next Thursday the 16th!!! Woohoo

I have been 5'2 forever..... But when I went to the Dr & had someone measure me I'm actually 5'1. Which helped in getting my surgery approved !

Anymore 16th sleeve buddies out there?

Hello everyone I'm 4'11.5 and will have surgery on sept 25. I have finally found a place where I'm not too short.

Hey all! 5'0 and currently 278.4. I'm 25 years old and these numbers just don't balance out! According to a "normal bmi" I should weigh 125lbs but I have been 140 before and people told me I looked too skinny. I would be happy with 150. Actually I would be happy with anything but where I am now. I an pre op with a tentative date of oct 2!

Hey everyone. I am 5'0" and weigh in at 202. I am pre-op with a surgery date of Sept. 18th. I am so excited to have my surgery and start my new life. Good luck to everyone on their journey.
