I'm in. I'm 5 feet and pre-op. Sleeve surgery December 2.

Am 5'2", 3 months post op, and down 60 lbs. Had some difficulties along the way - gout and extreme nausea - but getting better every day.

Still plugging along post-op. I think I must look even shorter to people as I lose. I get so many "you're such a tiny person!" comments now even though I'm still obese.

5'2 ; surgery is in 4 days. Nervous and excited are the two defining words I can use right now. ;)

hi everyone. I have not been on here in forever. how are you?

I had my surgery 12/28, feeling all kinds of ways, you may think mentally you are prepared however until you have had it your not. I think forums and buddies are great as they keep you accountable. I 4"11 and would love to be part of the forum

I'm 5'2.5" - can I join too? I was 265 back in March of 2016. I went in to the surgery a week ago at 211 on my dr's scale and as of today I weigh 205 on mine. I see pictures of people who weigh what I do and look quite average weight but on me, it's an awful lot and to add insult to injury, most of it seems to like to hang out in my face and belly!
