blu2020 79 Posted September 22, 2015 I know this is odd but are there any tall girls out there? I am 5'11 and would love to see before/after pics- I have always been super sized! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leighannnn1791 38 Posted September 22, 2015 Im 5'11 too! I had surgery Aug 31st, so I dont have any after pics lol But I've lost 29 pounds so far (last time I was weighed was September 9th so i should have lost more!) You can definitely tell Have you had surgery yet?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blu2020 79 Posted September 22, 2015 No, I have finally decided I am going to do it. My mission now is to find the surgeon. I am so happy I found you. Because I am so tall I hear from everyone I don't need it and it's frustrating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blu2020 79 Posted September 23, 2015 I am in Atlanta, I have an appointment on the 8th. Self pay. Doctor said he would schedule it two weeks out if all goes well. Maybe you can be my mentor or something. Did you tell people? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can I ask what your weight loss looked like as far as how much you lost when? I'm 6 weeks out and down about 30 pounds. I feel like I'm slower on losing them most. Suggestions?

Can I ask what your weight loss looked like as far as how much you lost when? I'm 6 weeks out and down about 30 pounds. I feel like I'm slower on losing them most. Suggestions? Ok so on pre op diet I lost 15 lbs and since Mid July I have lost about 20 lbs. the weight in the middle is hard to say exactly because my scale had to be replaced in July and my new one(same brand) showed me gain 20.....which I then went and compared to my dr scale....and it was correct which totally sucked! So I lost 40 lbs or so pretty evenly over the 1st 3 months? Sorry if this is confusing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heather Birdwell 57 Posted September 24, 2015 I am 5'8" and I had surgery 6/5/15. I am down 55 pounds in 14 weeks but I haven't lost anything really over the last 10 days. Stalls suck!! I feel like I am losing slow too but doc says I am doing fine so I am ok with it. Highest weight was 293. Day of surgery was 289 and currently I am at 234. This was a few pounds ago but you can tell a big difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
