I'm down 54 pounds since 11/17. I've also gone down 2 dress sizes!! --Dana 301/247/???

Sarah; I've heard that because one doesn't have as much weight pulling down on the spine, it is not as compressed and therefore, you can become taller after WLS. There's several people that I've read in their profiles that they'd gotten taller post-op although most of them were .5"-1". Nearly 2" seems like a lot, so I wonder if I just wasn't being measured correctly before? Plus, the last time my height was measured was probably 10 years ago. I don't know about women, but men can grow well into their mid-20s. My husband was 23 and 6'3.5" when we married. By the time our first anniversary rolled around he was 6'5". His late growth was all in his legs as his inseam went from a 32" to a 34" in that time period. Blessings, Jennifer

I have lost 46lbs. I am hoping that it picks up soon! Slowly but surely, right? Congrats to everyone on their successes! Carla 284/238/165 @ 5'11"

All I can say is I am in awe of you! I tried a Pilates video she has. Tried being the key word here. I carried that thing into my bedroom and put it on my bookshelf. I told my husband I was A. not skinny enough B. not strong enough and C. not women enough! Good Luck Sarah

Congratulations everyone on your losses! My surgery date was Nov. 8 and I have lost 55lbs and 49 inches. I am stalling right now, hopefully it will break soon.
