I used to be 5'6" but after I gained weight I was 5'5.5" due to the fact that the padding on my backside made me lean back a bit, thus appearing shorter. I am back at 5'6" when I got measured today! Woohoo! :smile2:

:smile2:

How kooky is that!?

Waaaay Kooky but waaaaaay awesome!

My daughter told me "Mom i can put my arms all the way around you now when i hug you". It made me tear up a little.

Hey, maybe that is why I have shrunk too...LOL. I always used to be 5'9" but now they are telling me I am 5' 7.5". I did not believe them and had a different doctors office measure me and they said the same thing. And I am only 33 that is too young to be shrinking like that. I wonder if I will get mine back??? :thumbup:

I had a massive fight with the old biddy at Weight Watchers a few years back who measured me at 5 ft 9. I'm 5ft 10. that of course made me even more overweight. She remeasured me about five times but I kept getting 5ft 9.

When I decided on lapband surgery, I also measured in at 5ft 9. I decided I must have shrunk but at a BMI of barely 36, I think that shrinkage saved me, made me eligible for the surgery!

I happened to mention it to the nurse about two years later, and she remeasured me, sure enough 5ft 10 AND a half. She laughed and told me my bum was much smaller and now I could stand close to the wall.

LOL Jachut. I actually think the "shrinkage" may have helped me too BMI wise. If I was 5'9 my BMI would have only been 34.8 and I dont know if my insurance would have covered the surgery. But I do hope I get my height back. Maybe next time I go in for a fill I will have them measure me again.

what does NSV stand for????

Me too! 5'9" to 5'8"!
