Hey guys, so I am 5 feet tall, which is really short! I was hoping to hear from some other short Sleevers, so I can have a better expectation of weight loss. How much weight did you guys lose/ how quickly? Does anyone have before and after photos? It's crazy when your this short, because the BMI charts all day that I am supposed to weigh between 95-105lbs; I can't even imagine what I would look like at 105lbs. Anyway, if there are any short Sleevers out there who could give me some insight that would be awesome. Thank you guys!!!

Wow you look amazing! Congratulations on your success!

I am 5'2" - at my heaviest I was 210 (size 18/20)- had surgery on June 16, 2014 my weight was 196. I was about 175 in August and 150 in November.

Now almost a year out I'm down to 128 (size5/6) - my goal is 125 so I'm almost there!

My only regret is the thinning hair...........but loving the short cut now that it is summertime.

Wow you look amazing! Thanks for the photos and info!!

I'm only 4'10" and my doc gave me 95-123 I'm 255 now so curious to see what I will be when all is done

Did you have a lot of excess skin mahickmore

Mahickmore, you and I have the exact same stats! I hope I'm as successful as you've been. My surgery is 6/5/15.

Hey guys, my surgery is tomorrow!!! Thank you to all of you who responded and have been helping me

Along the way!

Good luck, MarceMonster! Can't wait to hear how you're doing after your surgery!!

I am 5'1 and started out around 250... I'm not sure what to put my goal weight because in the past I did get down to 170 and really liked the way I looked... so I'm thinking at 150 I will LOVE the way I look!

So for now I have a few smaller goals... Under 200, 170, 150... once I get to 150 I will look at my body and how I feel to determine what weight I should aim for.

Hey guys, my surgery is tomorrow!!! Thank you to all of you who responded and have been helping me

Along the way!

Praying for a speedy recovery!

I am 5'2 and originally I had my goal at 115 but I am pretty muscular and always have been. I've always played sports and even now workout 6 days a week. I am currently around 120 and it was hard to find a full body picture. But here's one of my husband and I at the Super bowl and I was 125

Yes I am 5' starting weight was 267. My surgery was January 26 so I'm four months out. here's some before and after pics. The first pic is before all the rest are after

Did you have a lot of excess skin mahickmore

I still have a tummy, but doesn't "fold over" just a bulge - looks like I'm expecting in about the 4 month range!!

My upper arms and thighs are doing that "crepeing/sagging" thing.

But since I am almost 60 so don't think it will go away unless I go the plastics route and not doing that as it would be self pay. And honestly doesn't really bother me that much.

Hello everyone, I am writing from my hospital bed 1 day post-op. Yesterday was tough due to the effects of anesthesia. I really wasn't in much pain but nauseous and really tired. I literally slept all day. Just felt like I couldn't keep my eyes open. Was able to get a little walking in late last night once I was able to stay awake for a while. I second everyone's comments regarding walking. It really makes ALL the difference in getting the gas out. I'm feeling much better today. Just got back from my GI test and was told my pouch looked superb! Currently awaiting orders from my surgeon to begin liquids. Thanks for the well wishes from everyone and I will keep you posted!
