Seeking Buddies 5'2" & Under

  • Popular Post

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 5'2"

HW: 235

SW: 231

Surgery was 2/26

Can't seem to break into "onederland" but am doing my best not to be discouraged!!

I am in the pre op faze- I just got a batch of labs done-

I knew my lipids would be high, but I was shocked to see that my Vitamin D level was at 15! It said range 30-50.

Just wondering what you think Doc will do, we are still waiting for one other lab that's not resulted yet.

Also, being new to this site- I see on the app that I have notifications, but I can't find them in the feed- (?) iPhone is what I have.

Hey Amy listen I understand exactly what your feeling but believe it or not your doing awesome for some one who has just had your Sugery I know for a fact that when I was only a month out and I had lost a total of 27LBS I was actually happy but again your doing well it's going to go faster and faster before you know it... Take it easy and stay focused it's all mental

My starting weight was 264!!

Wow you go girl. I need to definitely do a before pic like that in undies before my surgery.

Thanks girl and yes it really helps you see the reality of it all In a more drastic way. Good luck

Hey First I'll say good luck you'll be fine!!

Now as for the Vitamins no worries all the doc will do is have you take what ever vitamins you are missing or in levels until it is at an approval level . Once you have completed that part you'll be approved and moved on to the next step.

When I was in the beginning stages I was low in B12 and my doc made me take the vitamin shot and than as I said I was pushed to the next step .

As for this site you'll find your notifications in were it's says ... " More"

Hey first off Good Luck!!

As for your Vitamins your doc is just going to make you take the vitamins you are low in or missing and once your levels have been elevated to an approval level your doc will move you to the next step to proceed with your surgery no biggie.

When I was in the beginning stages I too was low in vitamins , I was low in B12 and as I said I was directed to take the missing vits and that was that .

As for your notifications I too have an Iphone you can find them where it says " More" at the bottom of your app

Thanks!!<br> You're doing a great job!!<br> I'm like a sponge right now- getting as much info as I can!! I'm a planner :)

Lol!! I truly understand and thanks a lot

My sleep study has been approved- one more step to get a check mark next too.

Yay. Happy for you. :)
