Petite

Hi everyone...I'm new here. There hasn't been any activity here in awhile but I hope someone reads this. I'm planning on getting sleeved soon. I'm aggressively meeting all the requirements and hope to get a date at the end of March or sometime in April.

I'm 5'2 230lbs and I was wondering how many of you became petite after you lost the weight. It;s like you take off that costume and surprise! So I have short legs and I'm always looking for brands that sell PW (petite womans). And there's not many! That way I get the shorter leg but the width too.

So did anyone else discover that they were a real true petite. After the weight could you just fit the "p" clothes outright? This is a really silly thing to waste my first post on but when I saw a 5'3 under social group I couldn't resist.

I am your height and weight too! I hate buying clothes, especially pants, because it is so hard finding a petite length. Some petite lengths are too short while regular is way too long. I am hoping for a June surgery. How about you?

Im still on my journey so i cant really answer but just wanted to second your question! Why is it assumed fat people are tall?? The struggle for plus size petites.. Lol.

I am in Petite sizing. Great for pants and long sleeves. I always thought I had a large frame, no, my frame was just covered in fat. I am currently a 4P.
