Tall Sleevers? 6'?

I'm 6' tall, currently wearing a size 26 and weighing in at 350. I just got approved for the surgery so my date is tbt but it will be soon. I think my surgeon is scheduling end of Oct/early Nov. My goal weight from the surgeon is 220. For my height, I could go as low as 180, realistically, if I get around 195 I'd be pleased.

I'm not going to lie, seeing people starting out at their highest weight, and having that number be the same as my goal number makes me feel like ****. I get that they're like 5'4 or whatever, but it still sucks.

Where are all my tall ladies? I am getting so discouraged! I want to see some before/afters and waist clothing sizes for tall girls like me! I know you're out there! We need to start a club or something.

You are all my new best friends!! I'm 5'11. 6 foot on a tall day. I think I wanna be 185 but I don't remember 185 so I don't know how I'll look. I too feel like everyone is shorter and I can't get an idea of what to expect at a lower weight but you all helped a lot.

Yayyyy for talk girls in 4 inch heels. Because let me tell you' date=' I can't wait til my 4" heels can stay on lover than an hour. I'm getting there. My 2-3" work shoes no longer come off at work so I'm hoping my weeked shoes follow soon.

Ok ladies (or gentlemen) I would LOVE to stay in touch & up to date with some fellow Tall sleevers! If you're interested, I made a group on facebook we could chat, exchange help, pics, whatever!

It's a closed group so nobody will see what is posted unless they're a member of the group. I just named it "Tall Group" because I didn't want to put "VGS" or anything in the title incase someone is keeping their surgery a secret. (like me, I'm only telling immediate family)

Here it is!

I'm 6'5"

But I'm not a lady, so I guess I shouldn't have responded huh? LOL :)

you're welcome here!

You all will look incredible on your way to goal. Tall men especially make me smile lol...in a nice suit...mmmmm

I am 5'10 with my highest weight at 306. Currently at 284 and my date is set for 9/11. In a size 20 (althoughy they are getting tight) and 2x top. Goal is 175 (but I've never been that skinny so I have no idea how my body will be there)

If you're tall regardless of sex, you are welcome to this group. I know I'm used to standing with the guys since I've been this tall since I was 13. I don't think most people get that even if we get to a size 10-12, we will always be viewed as bigger due to our heights. Oh well, it is what it is.

We can be here for each other and know that WE all get where we are all coming from.

Hugs to all!! Have a happy and safe holiday weekend.

Ok short girl jumping in here (5'4) but I'm not going to talk about me because well that would make no sense whatsoever. However, my best friend Cat had the sleeve about 3.5 months ago, she is 6 foot, and started out at I believe 385, and was down to around 360 day of surgery. Since then she has lost probably around 65lbs and looks AMAZING!! I wish I could put her before and after photos on here, but I wouldn't do that without her permission. I'll ask her though! I don't remember what her goal weight is though. I need to get her to join this site!

I guess I would be the smallest of the Amazon women since I'm only 5'9, my surgery is scheduled for September 26 and my goal weight is about 170. I'm currently 317 and my shoe size is 11.
