I'm 5'2 and was sleeved dec 20. My start weight was 265 surgery was 256 and now I'm 234. I haven't lost anything in almost 3 weeks :( it's really starting to get to me!

I'm 5'3". surgery weight 236. surgery 11/7/12. down 43 lbs so far. I need to work out more. I walk everyday but not sure that's gettin it anymore. But its still rough on the tummy for crunches. And I dont think I can do the gym thing. I think we are going to get something for our house.

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?!!!

Hi I'm 5'1 and about 215 I have my surgery for Dec 19 th.....it is real encouraging to hear about your weight loss it makes me feel like I can finally achieve my goal. I have not been under 150 in 15 years. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Hi we're close enough am 5'0 @214pd

Sleeved on 5/11/12 weighing 178 for a total of 35 pds. Problems am having is terrible reflux;( I have never had this before. It gives me bad pains in my chest and choke me in my sleep. I tried so many meds it's depressing. It sadden me to no I did this to myself.

Meds- inhibitor tums maalox( metoclopramide) Rx nw on Zantac 300mg

I cnt wait to get over this cause eating is ridiculous. I can hardly eat! Drinking is almost close to impossible.

I'm 5'3. I had surgery 12/30/11 - starting weight 283. Current weight 203. Really glad I had this surgery. :)

I was the same exact height and weight. I'm two and half weeks out at 261. I am so excited. Can't wait to b 203 soon.

I was on zantac once a day then twice a day. I still was getting heartburn until I started taking prilosec. It has worked great! Im 5'0" and weighed 212lbs at sx 11/20/12. Im 187lbs now. Weights coming off slowly but its coming off:-) I hope u find relief soon because even drinking water was awful.

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!!!

I'm 5'2" (technically 5'1.5" but who's counting), when I started the program in August I weighed 276, I had surgery Monday (Jan 21st) weighing 243, and I just weighed in at 236. There may be a discrepancy between the hospital scale and my home scale, so we'll see what the official numbers say on the 29th when I go in for my check up. I'm setting my goal at a healthy BMI weight of 136, so we'll so how it goes.
