4'11" - Checking In.....

[mufasas-mom 170]

hello - just found this page - been on these forums for a few months now. I'm Diane - live in North Texas and waiting to be sleeved. All my insurance docs were turned in to UHC this past Friday - called today and it's 'in process' - so hopefully I'll be one of those quick turn arounds and get approved before the week is over....

I'm just so happy to have this option of surgery and get my life back..

My starting weight is 201 - I'm at 195 now. BMI is still over 40, so that's ok for insurance purposes. Hoping to get down to 120 pd range by next March but I do understand that I'll be one of those slow losers and I'm fine with that. Just want to reverse the diabetes and get healthy again.

I have not found many people on these forums who are vertically challenged, as I was trying to see their starting weight and where they are now...

hopefully I'll see everyone on the losers bench soon.

Hi Diane. I'm Desiree and I am in North Texas too. I'm on the line for Plano and The Colony, but grew up in Blue Ridge (you may know where that is). I'll keep my fingers crossed that your approval comes through. I'm 20 months out and it was the best thing I ever did. I know we will all be here to support you and wish you the best on your journey.

WOW! A group for me. If I stand really straight and stretch I am 4'11''.

I am so happy to find this group. Being vertically challanged makes weight loss even harder. I'll be happy to learn from my fellow funsized sleevers and to support you as well.

Just found this group and it's nice to connect with others who are vertically challenged and going through the sleeve process! I'm somewhere between 5'1 and 5'2, depending on who measures me! I'm hoping to have the sleeve done in November and I'm nervous yet excited. I can't believe that I might actually one day be free from the prision I'm in called my body!

Anyone else in NJ?

Have you had your surgery yet? If not, do you have it scheduled? I'm scheduled for 11/15 right now and I'm using Dr. Nusbaum out of Morristown/Llivingston. Who is your doctor?
