I will be having my surgery May 9th and my starting weight is 208 and I'm 5' feet tall. So I'm looking for someone that was around this size before surgery. Iam just curious to how small I might get if anybody can help thanks! :)

I started at 211 and I am 5' 2''. My surgery was 8/24/13. I am now 141 with a goal of 6 more pounds. I was a size 20 and I am now a size 8....moving soon to a 6. Very happy with the results.

That is a magic question. For me I feel very normal right now.....actually I even felt like a normal size at 165. According to the BMI charts normal is 105 to 135. No way in the world do i want to be 105 skinny. :-)

Just realized I said my surgery was in 2013. It was in 2012 obviously.

I am 5'2" also. My high weight was 257. My surgery weight was 241 on 2/4/13. Today I weigh 211. The doctor has not mentioned a goal weight by number to me, but it is obviously 135 because she talks to me about being a percentage toward an unstated goal and 135 is around the top end of normal BMI for someone of my height. I can remember weighing that much in my twenties so I know that would be an appropriate weight for me.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
