Tall girls

I know this is odd but are there any tall girls out there? I am 5'11 and would love to see before/after pics- I have always been super sized!

No, I have finally decided I am going to do it. My mission now is to find the surgeon. I am so happy I found you. Because I am so tall I hear from everyone I don't need it and it's frustrating.

thats awesome! yeah i had people saying the same thing to me, but you gotta do it for you, nobody else! Where do you live? Im in NJ and had mine done by Dr. Bertha in Morristown, hes awesome!

Awesome job!! Can I ask what your weight loss looked like as far as how much you lost when? I'm 6 weeks out and down about 30 pounds. I feel like I'm slower on losing them most. Suggestions?

You both look fabulous. Any skins sagging issues?

Yes! My arms are horrible but we're large to begin with....here's a pic(I hope )post-247301-14430659603333_thumb.jpg

And I don't think my belly and upper thighs are going to be great but we shall see

Ok so on pre op diet I lost 15 lbs and since Mid July I have lost about 20 lbs. the weight in the middle is hard to say exactly because my scale had to be replaced in July and my new one(same brand) showed me gain 20.....which I then went and compared to my dr scale....and it was correct which totally sucked!

So I lost 40 lbs or so pretty evenly over the 1st 3 months?

Sorry if this is confusing

I am 5'8" and I had surgery 6/5/15. I am down 55 pounds in 14 weeks but I haven't lost anything really over the last 10 days. Stalls suck!! I feel like I am losing slow too but doc says I am doing fine so I am ok with it. Highest weight was 293. Day of surgery was 289 and currently I am at 234. This was a few pounds ago but you can tell a big difference.
