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 4"11 and I'm one week post op.

Hey all,

I'm 5'2", and sleeved 07/23/15. I'm at four weeks post-op in two days. I haven't been losing any weight since the first week. I started at a BMI of 34 (176.5 lbs), and lost 12 lbs pre-op )2 week diet), and 12 lbs since surgery.

Any of you with low BMI experience such long stalls (almost 3 week stall here)

Thanks!!

Hi lana,

Were you self pay or insurance? Did you have co-morbidities?

I am 5'... That's all. No inches. I am 5 months post op and I have lost 70 pounds. So glad I decided to have the surgery. I can actually see a 100 pound weight loss as a possibility.

Hi I'm 5'2 on a good day lol I am currently at 217 and have a scheduled surgery date of December 22nd hoping to read success stories and maybe meet someone going through the journey at the same time

I'm 5'2 and still have a few months to go till my surgery is scheduled I just started.

I am 5'1. 11 weeks out on Thursday 12/4/15 and down 33 or so lbs. I have 29 lbs to my first goal. I attached my most recent photo. The left is me at my high weight of 266. The right is me at my current weight of 179.

I am so disappointed with myself. I started off great, then I had a blood clot and just was focus on not bruising myself or falling. Now, I have gained 10 lbs and still haven't reach my goal. I haven’t exercised, but now I am trying to do something each day. My two year surgerversary is 4/16/2016.

Has anyone else come back and met goal after a long stall and weight gain?

Thanks

Hi, 4'11 & I'm just starting the entire process. I have my first appt with my doctor coming up soon.

I am 5'1" and currently weigh 254. I am on pre-op diet with surgery for VSG on January 19, 2016. I am sure I will be able to use all the help and encouragement I can get. I am also 62 year old grandmother who has not been active for years. Wanting to get healthy so I can be around to watch my grandchildren grow up.

I made it through surgery with flying color. Tomorrow I go back to work. Since I have been doing a preop diet since March 1st, I am not losing a huge amount of weight like those who were sleeved the same day as me. I am ok with this. I've almost lost 80 pounds. That is over my half way Mark! I am surprised how fast 9 1/2 months has gone. Can't wait to see what the next year brings. (Also looking forward to get more options on what I get to eat....)
