I started at 211 and I am 5' 2''. My surgery was 8/24/13. I am now 141 with a goal of 6 more pounds. I was a size 20 and I am now a size 8....moving soon to a 6. Very happy with the results.

what is normal weight for 5'2"? I'm 5'2"

That is a magic question. For me I feel very normal right now.....actually I even felt like a normal size at 165. According to the BMI charts normal is 105 to 135. No way in the world do i want to be 105 skinny. :-)

Just realized I said my surgery was in 2013. It was in 2012 obviously.

I am 5'2" also. My high weight was 257. My surgery weight was 241 on 2/4/13. Today I weigh 211. The doctor has not mentioned a goal weight by number to me, but it is obviously 135 because she talks to me about being a percentage toward an unstated goal and 135 is around the top end of normal BMI for someone of my height. I can remember weighing that much in my twenties so I know that would be an appropriate weight for me.

I'm 5'2" and weighed 206 when I had my surgery on 1/9/13. I'm 159 today. I have a good bit to go!
