Seeking Buddies 5'2" & Under

"I had my surgery 12/28, feeling all kinds of ways, you may think mentally you are prepared however until you have had it your not. I think forums and buddies are great as they keep you accountable. I 4"11 and would love to be part of the forum"

I am at the early pre-op stage; I will see my doctor in a few weeks to discuss wls. Your post struck a chord with me, not only because we are the same height but also because just when I think that wls is the right path for me I start wondering whether I should just stick to dieting like I have for years. I have a lower bmi than most people getting this surgery but I also have co-morbidities that have led me to research this option. I guess I figured that once I went through with the surgery, all of my doubts would disappear but your post has me thinking differently now.

I see that you posted your message on January 1st but that your surgery was on 12/28/2016. Do you still feel the same about the surgery now that you are almost a month post-op?

I am 4' 11" too. Do you mind sharing your stats? Hoping to find someone who is similar. I was 199 before my pre-op diet, 192 on the day of surgery (11/18/16), and I am currently 171 and have been stuck here for two weeks.

Hi All,

I will love to join this group too. I am 5' and was sleeved on 2/15/2017. My starting weight was 160lb and in 11days post surgery, I am 148lbs. Since last 4 days I haven't lost any weight. Any ideas on how to come out of this stall are welcome.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
