Hi, everyone...

I've only been on the forums for a few days, but I'm already so grateful for all the fantastic, helpful people I've met along the way. What an amazing resource for us new folks! I'm just starting out on my VSG journey, with a bariatric seminar and my first surgeon consultation under my belt. (Well, I think it's under my belt, kinda tough to see sometimes...) I'm 5'2" and have struggled with my weight since I was 18--I'm now 44, and ready for a new start. I'm hoping to have my surgery at some point over the summer, since I'm a middle school English teacher. *fingers crossed*

It's nice to find a group that's geared around the more vertically-challenged VSG patient.

I think the phrase someone used in one of the threads here--"fun sized sleever" is the perfect description!

Hello Waves,

Im also new to this group and finding my way around slowly.

Hellooooo! 4' 8" from Chico, California. I've got everything done, just waiting for insurance approval. I can't wait to be 'height/weight appropriate"!

Hello from Connecticut! I never knew this "fun sized sleever" board existed---I saw it on someone's info block....I'm 5'1.and a quarter inches LOL My PCP always bumps it up to 5'2", but when he filled out the paperwork, I made sure he put 5'1" (since it's closer to the truth.....plus bumps up my BMI!)

Can't wait to be a healthier weight! Two more weeks before my last appointment......then the waiting game LOL

Hi I'm new here also…hoping to be sleeved July 10th..in TJ by Dr. Ramos Kelly. I'm 5'0…weight 198ish.
