I'm 5'2". Hw 225. Sw 203. Cw. 149. 8 months out. I'm hoping to get another 20-25 off. Hard I'm maintaining this weight for 2 months now. Any ideas to get going again. I was hoping for memorial weekend to be at 130.

Hello everyone!

I am brand spanking new here! I am 4" 11" and 55 years old (short and old). I just got excepted to the bariatric center and my insurance does cover this surgery. I am now waiting for a call to get me started on the program. Its a loooooong journey as they require a 6 month doctor assisted diet. This does include seeing a psychologist, physical therapist, have a sleep apnea test, etc.

I am especially grateful to know there are lots of other shorties here!! My husband is 6'2" so he doesn't totally get it, LOL.

Anyway--glad to meet you all and hear your journeys so I know what's in store for me!!

Hey so first congrats on your process your doing amazing! My advice for you would be to make sure your still chewing slow so you don't over eat and if you are most defiantly trying to loose more weight you should only be eating clean and maybe one cheat day maybe! But make sure you are taking your Protein and working out at least and I mean at least 2x weekly .... You'll reach your goal!!! Good luck and stay focused also limit your alcohol intake because that's the weight that sneaks on

You with out a sign ....

First let me say congrats!!!!!! As for losing more weight my advice would be to make sure your staying on top of your Protein intake , make sure your eating at a slow pace so you don't over eat and if losing weight is your main goal you must be sure your eating clean ONLY! Exercise at least twice a week if not more ... Good luck drink lots if Water with lemon!!!!

I'm 5'1" I'm going through all the teasing now I'm almost finished. My surgery is Aug/Sept.

I'm in the same boat- my steps are getting checked off and scheduled- I think if it wasn't for my funny rule from my employer ins-saying I have to be employed a yr first I'd have a schedule date-

All I know is after July 30!!

That is a funny rule having to wait a year before you will get excepted for surgery. Its excited to be on this journey.

Same with short term disability or FMLA - policy is to be there a year-but last job it wasn't covered and I was planning to pay out of pocket-so this is worth it- I have been to my Primary, attended group, sleep study is scheduled in a week- so when the date rolls around it cans be approved right away.

Oh I see. That's smart that you are getting the test done early. I'm so happy I'm almost finished with my tests.

We very well could end up with close surgery dates!!

That would be great to have the same dates!

As someone that cried when this happened to me here is my advice. If you have sleep apnea go on a cpap machine ASAP. My surgery is now delayed for three weeks for me to go on one. I have told people from day one I have sleep apnea. I get to my final appointment at hospital for surgery and get told I have to wait. I understand their reasoning because I do have bad sleep apnea but I wish I didn't have to wait. Plus it's really hard to get off at my job and have to tell them it was moved plus all my friends and family.
