Any Petite Sleevers? Under 5' ...??

[rbaertsch 34]

This is the best thread! I've 5'. I started at 211 and was 178 when I had my surgery in Dec. I swelled up like a balloon after surgery and gained 16lbs from the fluids and swelling. I'm working my ass off in the gym (literally) and sticking to my diet. I'm getting there! It's good to have a group of people who get it. We have fewer total pounds to lose so it comes off slower, but that doesn't make us less deserving of celebrating our triumphs!

I'm exactly 5' tall. I'm 3 weeks out. I still really haven't told anyone yet besides my bestie and close family members.

My high weight was 230
Day of surgery was 220
Current weight is 201

Hi all
I am 5'6" and I weight 220lbs will be having the sleeve on the tenth of march 2017. I did not tell my family about this but my husband and my girls know about it. My family always asks me when they avent seen me in a while I I had gained weight and I tell them no I am the same as the last time you seen me. Why do they always do that i don't know but they will have a big surprise this coming summer when they see me. Lol. I would bet that if I told them that I am doing this they would be against it.

Hi all, I am 65 years young and only 4' 11" tall and my first weight with my nutritionist was 279 lbs. I should have done this years ago and so begins my journey. My surgery date is 3/7 and I begin my pre-op protocol on Tuesday. I am so ready. Medicare just started covering the sleeve so that was a plus. My family is very supportive so I am so ready for this.

Hello everyone,
I'm 4'10 current weight 217. My surgery is 9/18. I love that everyone is short on this thread. Does anyone mind sharing some before and after pictures. Does it really come off slower because we have less to lose?

I'm getting prepared for my surgery on Feb 21st - I haven't exactly been shy avout telling frienda/coworkers about what I'm doing. But i AM shocked at how many say I don't need this... i don't think they understand that being 4'11" and 205 lbs is NOT fine. It doesn't matter, because this is for ME, not them; but just wondering how many other P.S's there are that may have heard this?? [i hide it VERY well....lol]

I'm 4'11" and yes I can totally relate, they don't realize how hard it is to carry around 220 lbs. They keep saying that I can do it by myself. My SW 238
PREOP 209
CW 190
I was just sleeved on June 21 St and at times I'm wondering if I did the right thing I'm sick of being so tired, is this normal?
