I'm 5'3" and was 55 at time of surgery. I believe my highest weight was over 300 in 2015 but I didn't get on scales then. Recorded HW 271.5. Day of Surgery - 246.9. As of today - 156. So from my highest weight - probably 150 pounds. From recorded high - 115. I'm about 20 months out. Because I'm of a certain age, I lost a bit slower, but I still have weight coming off. I now am working on building muscle mass and decreasing body fat. My body fat is about 31 percent right now and I'm shooting for 28.

Was anyone around 5'4 240lbs? How much weight did you lose and how long has it been since your surgery? What surgery did you have done? Just curious!

Hey Sasa, I'm 5'9, currently 260. Down 50 lbs since my pre-surgical check in on March 2nd, I was revised from the Band to Bypass on March 21st.

I had my VGS on May 16th, I am 5'3 and my HW231-SW205-CW192. The first two weeks after surgery I had lost 13 pounds. I'm back to work and feeling great. You will not regret your decision, this is a lifetime change and I couldn't be more satisfied with my results.

      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.
