So Im 5" and the BMI charts I check online says 97-125 which I think is way too small for me, havent been that small since high school... Im hoping to get down to 130/135 pounds. Right now Im 148lbs and Im 5 1/2 months post op..

Ok so I'm also 5'0ft. Got sleeved June 20th 2015. Surgery day weight 190lbs. June-July, lost the most which was 20lbs. July- current 30lbs. Goal weight is 110lbs. Currently 140lbs. Weight lost just depends on how much calories you put in verses burn/workout. I've been slacking it but I'll get there soon enough. Good luck! post-257327-14488711148028_thumb.jpg post-257327-14488711361778_thumb.jpg

I was the opposite. In 2001 I had breast reduction. My regret is that they all told me I would be able to breast feed and I could not ( it's in fact rare to be able to fully bf after surgery depending on how and what they cut.) I don't know how your sleeve will effect healing. Sorry I'm no help but I did want you to know to ask about and research bf if you aren't finished having babies and want to bf.

I'm 5'1 and have the same thoughts!! My dr. hasnt asked me to set a definite goal weight. I honestly don't want to. I have an idea of a number but it depends how I feel when I get there. I do know this. My sister is 5'0 and lost about 120 pds on her own. She now weighs 101 and she looks perfectly petite and healthy. It seems outrageous to us but who knows. It may be very possible for us shorties to do well at that weight. I'm more worried about my skin. If I got down to 120, I'd have a 184 weight loss....Im 38 and people keep saying Im young enough my skin will tighten up etc but I'm not so confident. I think it's a huge motivator for me to keep walking and kill it once Im allowed to workout in the gym. I used to have great biceps but triceps are so hard to build up. I'm already getting bat wings from my weight loss. I'm glad you posted as a short sleever. I'll be checking back with you guys!

My BMI was 56% before surgery. Got sleeved on 11/11/15. I can already tell I'm gonna end up an A cup at the end of this and for the most part am making peace with it. I've been a B cup and always felt that was okay for my size/height. I just can't wait to buy regular bras from any store. First stop, Victoria Secret, you know 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.
