I'm 5'5" and 40 years old. I started at 320 and am currently at 227. My goal is 140. My surgeon has never given me a goal, that's just what I want.

He gave me a goal of 135 and I laughed out loud. I got there and liked it so much I decided to stay.

5'4 1/2 and I was recommended at 150 but my personal goal is 140. Everyone has a different body though so as long as it is a healthy BMI I'll take it.

@@Mel24 I'm with you on that one! I want to be 170, but anything under 200 and/or a size 10, and I'll be happy (5'10")

I'm 5'5" 46 years old.

I felt good and would have been happy when I got to 170

Surgeons goal was 160

Personal goal was 150

I actually got down to 137 and have easily maintained 137-140 for 7 months.

I'm 5'5" and 69 years old. I'm 6 months post-op and have lost 73 pounds (20 pounds pre-op, 53 pounds post-op).

I've set my goal at 150 pounds.

BTW, my surgeon never gave me a specific weight goal. He and his team already think I am a success. :)

5'6 (30yr). Surgeon set goal weight at 160-165. personally I'd like to see 150 again but I too usually weigh more than people expect (people now don't believe I'm in the 220s now). anything below 170 would make me happy! :D

I'm 5'6 and my goal is 160. I was that weight in my 30s and I was able to maintain and I felt good. 74 lbs to go. I've lost 76 so far. Long way to go!

I'm 5'6 and my goal weight is 150. I've settled at 176. I'm going to have to work harder to get the rest off. I'm fine with that. I'm not sure what weight my surgeon would suggest as goal. I'll ask next time.

I'm 42, 5'5" and according to the Body Composition scan I had to do, they said my goal was 190, but then she said, most people come in twenty pounds less. So I'm hoping for 170 which is a 100 pound loss and would make me thrilled. If I get lower, fantastic!

I'm 5'4" and goal of 145 because that is a weight I recall when I was 18 and felt good.

      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.
