Hello! I am having my surgery tomorrow (!!!) and I am 5'10". HW 297, surgeon says he thinks i can get down to 150. Doesn't sound doable to me, so I thought I'd see if there are any tall women out there who can share their success stories with me! I'm shooting for 175 and will go from there....I'd love to hear your stories!

Thank you for the tall shopping tips! Appreciate it!

New York and Company has tall sizes in store.

I am 5'8" and I weighed about 145-150 in high school. It was the fittest I have ever been in my life, and I starved myself and worked out two hours a day to maintain it....I was a size 6/8 and felt absolutely beautiful. I'd love to get back there. Attaching a photo so that you guys can see what 145 lbs looked like on a 5'8" frame. Cheers and good luck!!!

Hey I'm 5'10 and 3 weeks post surgery... My start weight was 215 with a lot of back problems and knee problems.... 3 weeks in and I'm 187pounds which is 28 pounds which I am happy about... It's a massive change and still getting use to the full feeling I always have but I have been told I will fell better soon...

Good luck with surgery

Beatiful! I am 5'9". I was sickly looking at 145. I would be happy at 165. That's where I am

Comfortable still slim looking but not sickly. I have about 38 pounds to go.

I am also 5'10" my sw was 293 I had my sleeve on 4/1/14. Today my weight is 206 10/15/14 so almost 90lbs in 6months. I also am shooting for 150 lb goal.

I'm not much good for a success story since I am only a week and a half post-op. I am 5'11" (I shrunk from 6') and currently weigh 299. At my highest in February I was 352. I have no earthly idea how I got that big. I think a lot of it was denial. When I went in for surgery I was 312 I think. I'm so happy with everything so far. It's a struggle, but worth it. Hopefully in a few months I can have better results to post. =)

I am 5'8 and weigh 180. I asked my surgeon at my last visit what my goal should be and he said healthy. As long as my blood sugar and high blood pressure are under control I can stop whenever I want to. The nutritionist and I decided on 160. I am 7 months out and have lost 92lbs.

My surg was 10/25/2012. Hard to believe two years out, and sadly, not where I want to be!

Bad back has made exercise almost impossible, now...grazing is creeping in and VSG rules are creeping out. I'm trying to get back on track! Overall, no regrets!

51/F. 5'10

SW 303 sz 24

CW 225 sz 14/16

All time HW back in 2001 was 390. All in all I've come a long way!

Would love to hit 199, or size 12?

I am 5'8" HW 305 CW 186 my lowest weight was 155 my goal weight is a normal bmi which is 164.

Picture on right is when I was 193.

I am 5'11 and am currently 191. I am currently trying to get down to 175 in order to get a body lift and breast augmentation in February. I had weight loss surgery nearly 3 years ago and am absolutely so glad that I did and I recommend to people to do it as long as they are in the right head space about it. When I tell people my weight they always tell me I do not look like I am that weight, and people who knew and saw me before the weight loss said I never looked that I weighed 300. I tend to attribute that to being so tall, I have always been told that tall people carry weight better. Nearly 3 years out and the only place I have a problem with extra skin is the stomach area, but as the plastic surgeon told me because I am so tall with a long torso it makes for a better lift canvas (as he put it).

Update: HW: 301 SW: 286 CW: 195 GW: 170
