Picking a goal weight is so hard. The only guidance I have is the bmi charts and mybodygallery.com. The lowest weight I have been as an adult was on my wedding day when I hit 133. That was after 5 months of dieting and running 5 miles a day, every day. That being said, I would love to be maintain between 115-125. It seems like such a far fetched dream. I am 5'2".

My surgeon told me that 135-140 would be ideal for me. I'm at 149 and I would love to get to 130 I'm already a size 6 sometimes 4 and have noticed that now the lower I go the more things are sagging and I'm not really liking the way my face is starting to look. I feel healthy and would love to be 120 but I may not look so healthy. So I think first set a realistic goal but do not tie your self to it.

I'm 5'2 and got sleeved Nov. 30th, 2012 @ 193.4lbs. I've lost 33 lbs at my 6 weeks follow up. It's all been worth it to be free of Type2, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, restless leg syndrome, low potassium!!! I even had a hernia repair of a prior hysterectomy and it was Huge! I feel SO MUCH BETTER!! Who's with me?!!!

Hello fellow vertically challenged girls! I am 5'2 (and a half ha ha). I had surgery on 8/17/12. My weight was 217 lbs. I am currently 159 lbs. My 1st goal is to be a normal BMI (136 lbs). My second goal is more a bit more complicated because I'm not sure where I will like my body at. I had a bangin bod in my teens when I was 115-118 lbs...but that was my teens. I was happy in my early 20's at 120-125 lbs...but can I get there again and how would I (and my skin look)? So I think my ultimate goal is about 125 lbs. I'm happy to meet all you petite ladies who can relate to our unique challenges :)

I am 5ft 2" too. Weighed about 115 when I got married. The doctor wants me to get to 130. Since I started at 225.5 I have a ways to go!!!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
