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.

Hi. I'm 5'0". I'm awaiting my insurance approval, and most likely I'll have surgery in November. I'm curious if anyone had Dr. Marc Bessler do their surgery, from NY. I'm also wondering if anyone here is experiencing any acid reflux. I've read so much about how bad it can be. I'd also love to hear about your immediate post-op experiences. Were you in pain? How bad was the pain? Was it from gas or something else... I feel like a sponge. I want to get as much information as I possibly can. I'm full of anticipation, and yes, fear too. Thanks in advance for listening to my rambling... LOL

5 ft.

Hello all, I'm 4'11' and pre op I weighed 229 the day of my surgery May 27th I weighed 219. Today I weigh 181 so total loss 48lbs in about 4 and 1/2 months. It's a good outcome but as of last month I started having bad heartburn. I take Omeprazole 20mg twice daily and it still doesn't help. My doctor said it was because I was eating large portions than I should which is true. I started back all the way to liquids again and hoping things will change. Otherwise I have no clue what to do. These bad eating habits are coming back. It's so hard. Blahhh. Forgot to mention I had a revision from band to sleeve. I'm starting to think I should have just done the bypass ????????
