If you are tall please share your experience with WSL because bigger and frames just aren't the same as petite and average frames. My lean mass alone is higher than a lot of peoples goal weight that i read about, ~130lb.

Please share with us your height, goal weight and progress. Thanks

Well I was a hair under 6 feet in my youth, bariatric surgeon tells me between menopausal settling, my vertebrae getting less fat and the strain of b lugging around over 300 pounds on my spine, I am now 5foot 8,5 inches. I have heard of,people who grew a inch in measurement, maybe when less weight they stood up straighter? 😝Anyway I am what i am and that better be GOOD ENOUGH!

5'9”
Surgery Date: 9/27/17
Start Weight: 273
Current Weight: 173
Dr’s Goal: 170
My Goal: 165-173
Just as when I was heavier, people think I weigh a lot less than I actually do. They also assume my clothing size is in single digits, but I actually wear a size 12.
I’d like to lose a little more weight (8-10 pounds) and then start doing resistance training to gain that amount back in lean muscle.

surgery date:not scheduled yet

start weight/ current weight: 270

goal weight: 160 (Dr says 200, but I can do better. I’ve been as low as 150 and I’m currently at my highest weight, and I was happy at 160/165 way back when)

      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. 🤞
