Shorties...

Hello there sleevers :) So getting more nervous/excited, I'm getting revised from band to sleeve Dec 10th. Soooo with that wanted to hear from my fellow shorties.

I'm 5'3", hovering around 190 (no hating remember I was banded and had lost weight with it and been gaining like a mad woman)

So what's you story? Height, start weight, current how was the recovery process?

Another shortie here. I'm 4'11" Was sleeved on January 30th. I started at 323, I was 276 day of surgery and now I'm 265.

Hello I am 5'2 start weight was 219, day of surgery 1/28/12 was 198, yesterday I weighed 188 7 days out and lost 6.5 inches in 2 days. Good luck!:)

Well folks they are having trouble with getting my IV set up. So they have to do it in the OR. Which has delayed my surgery time. Still waiting.

Two days post op and in having terrible pain at my drain site. My incisions are starting to hurt a little but as well. Can't wait for Dr. Luna to remove the drain today. Hopefully that stops the pain. On top of that I barely got any sleep. Guess I won't truly recover til I'm home in my own bed.

I've been there even tho the drain is moved the pain doesn't go away that soon. Wait for the gas cause it's gonna come! Tea doesn't help much cause before u can drink it all it's already cold. But as much walking as u can do really really helps. But it's gets better! Am 3 months post op. just of late an dealing with acid reflux which is a pain some 3 weeks now. But best of luck with u :)

Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm 4'11" and 187 lbs. I just had my first appointment with the surgeon.

Hi!

I'm 5'3 I was sleeved Jan 10th. SW 200. 4 weeks out and 180lbs.

Good luck to everyone waiting to get sleeved.

Congrats to those of you almost to goal!!

Hi all! I am 5'2. I was sleeved on 8/17/12 so I am almost 6 months out. My surgery weight was 217 and my current weight is 157. I'm happy this thread popped up because I love seeing the progress of other vertically challenged girlies like myself :) congrats to all

Hi shorties! I was sleeved 1/23. I'm 4'11.5". Highest weight 222. Presurgery weight 202; now 189. I haven't seen the scale move since last Monday so one week with no change. Trying not to get frustrated. Really bad constipation to the point I think I'd lose five pounds if I could go! Recommendations?

I'm 5'3 surgery was 9/14/12, SW 225 CW 170 so down 55 and I've lost 4 sizes but I haven't lost in 3 weeks now and a little discouraging! Just trying to hang in there! Still have 40 lbs to goal so I will just keep on going!
