I'm 5'8" and my heaviest ever was 275. I am now 195. My original goal was 175, but then I thought it should be 165 to be in the "normal" bmi range (even though I think bmi is a very flawed health indicator).. I am pear shaped and at this weight you can see my collarbones and breast bone. Of course I totally zoom in on my hips and thighs. I am in a large top and 16 pants, 14 in some styles. I am now working with a personal trainer and my goal is to get my body fat % down to about 27. I think I will be done when I get to a size 10-12, regardless of what the scale says.

I'm 5'8. I'm aiming for 175. It would exceed my surgeon's goal, Still be a little high by "normal" standards, but for now, it is attainable. I'll adjust when I get there. I have not been at that weight my entire adult life, so I would be thrilled.

I am 5'8 and my goal is 150 or a size 6/8. My surgeon's goal is 175. I was 120 when I graduated from HS 23 years ago so I know how my body will be. I don't want to be as skinny as I was in HS, but at 150 I would be a size 6 or 8 which is my personal goal. Maybe I will get there, maybe not- time will tell.

Hi I'm five ft 8. I started at 220 and now I'm 137. Sadly I'm not happy with that and am aiming for about five more lbs. I'm not very diligent on what I eat. I eat moderately but def not as well as others. I'll be a yr out next month.

I am 5'10 and want to get down to 165. Like others have mentioned, this is completely adjustable to how I feel/look when I finally get into the 100s. I started out at 288 and am down to 254.

Happy to hear and see about other tall ladies! Would love to keep in touch with everyone to see how we're all progressing!

Im 5'7 and a half and my doc wants me to be 160. My goal is 160. Im around 180 and I look great. Everyone wants me to stop here but I think I can lose that belly fat. I want to be toned and sexy. So it all depends on how it looks

All along - this journey has never been about what weight I can get to. It has been, from day 1, about getting healthy, living healthy, and living longer. In my 1st 7 months since surgery, while the weight has dropped off, I am more than pleased at how my lifestyle changes have given me a new lease on life. I am getting healthier. I feel great, and I still have a ton to lose. With that said, let's not focus on the "number" and focus on the true reason this surgery works - learning to live healthy.

Thanks to all of you who have responded. I'm beginning to see that there are a lot of different "comfort zones" out there. It seems that a lot of people at this height actually weigh 165-195 after surgery and are thrilled with it.

How difficult is it to maintain at that weight? Is that the reason you decided not to go lower?

I have a very large frame for a woman and 8lbs of silicone implants so at 195 I'm really 187 at this point I'm just focusing on toning up not necessarily losing anymore weight. I wear an XL top and a size 11 jeans that's a good size for me

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
