I like petites or capris or flood pants and I am 5'6". I might have a long torso and this might be a good thing according to my late Mum. It seems that as you age your spine shrinks. I guess this means that if you have long legs and a short torso when you are young, you may be shit outta luck when you are an old fart!

Oooh, lemme see, this could translate to an individual who has 3.5 feet long legs, a 2 foot long trunk, and then a head.............. Maybe a head. Canadians have heads, don't we?

Ok my pants drag on the ground. Or I wear taller shoes. I just never really invested too much into a pair of pants to want to shorten them. But I definetly do find petite are just a tad too short.

Ok, green, what's your inside crotch to floor measurement? Cause if you're the same height as me.....

Lila, it's not that I care about my pants (LOL, nice thing of me to say), just that I hate getting them wet.. you know, if it rains, or snows. THEN, I often sit with one of my legs under my butt/thighs, and end up with wet spots on the back of my pants!

Maybe I just need to turn into one of those girls who wear the stilettos with jeans?

I think the stilletos would hurt your butt if you sat on them. OUCH!!!! And by the way thats bad for your posture.

Okay, I just got to these posts now....Lila & Mandi....so I measured like you said...from the crotch basically the top of my leg where it "joins") to the actual floor....and the measurement was 28.25 inches. Of course if I measured to where I would want my pants to hang (which would not be touching the floor!) it would be less.

Hmmmm so maybe I do have short legs.

I fit jeans that have a 28" inseam and I am 5'6". I like to wear pants that end at the ankle, and some people might find them a tiny bit short.

My real hair colour was strawberry blonde. You know, that reddish blonde colour. And, like a redhead, I don't tan. This is why my skin looks really good for my age. I spent the summers indoors. I used to hate it!:)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
