Was googling about goal weight and one of the threads popped up, I've been going to the main board and vsg and so glad to have found this forum! Yay!! I'm 5'0 and currently 215, size 24 and wanted to know what were your before stats and where are you now? Lowest weight I've been as an adult is 190 and can't imagine myself less than that and I'm hoping I will be able to adjust to the changes my body will go through.

I was 5'1" and 195 pounds. I got down to 115 in 11 months and currently around 123 after almost 8 years post-op. I wear a size 6 petite in brands like Talbot's and Ann Taylor.

Welcome aboard!

I was about 5' at surgery, 220. Highest weight probably more than that. Wore a 24. At 66 and 4+ yrs out I am 4'11", 132. got down to 111. 23% body fat (normal is 25-32%). I thought I would be thrilled at 140. You will adjust. Sizes now 6-8 although every maker is different and I still have a few 4 I can wear.

Im 5'6 & was 236 at surgery, now 210 just over a mth later, would be happy at 150, but am dreaming of 135...fingers crossed.

Welcome to the Lightweights! Everyone here is supportive and great!...lol I laugh about the other forum I watch (RNY) and compare it to a car accident on the side of the road. Its painful to watch how mean they are to each other, but its also a little hard to look away...you just hope its never you caught in the headlights...

I'm Jo HW 245, SW 236, CW 151 Yeah (Normal BMI!!!!)

I am 6+ years out. I am 4'11" and was 203 when I began this journey. I think I wore 22's.

I dropped to my first goal of 125 in less than a year and then 106 during the next 8 months. I was only 3 pounds away from getting the golden apple for losing 100 pounds when I stupidly thought I was too thin and started maintenance and climbed to 112 rather quickly and have settled in at 118-120...happy spot is 119. I've been in size 4 pants and Petite S/M for the last 4 years.

I was around 130 when I got married 40 years ago. My wedding dress looks really crazy on me. I look like I'm playing dress up.

I do have a lot of loose skin in my belly and upper legs but it is sooooo worth it!!

Important: Don't spend a lot on clothes on the way down!!! I was a shopaholic buying cute things that I could only wear a few weeks. A lot of money wasted!!! Check out sale racks and used clothing shops. Wear them a little snug at first because in a week or so they will fit perfect and then fall off of you.

God is walking with me every step of the way. Because of HIM this is possible!!

I was 248.5 and 5' 1.5". I got down to 126 but am around 138 now. I am working on getting some of the gain back off but it is a lot harder now. I couldn't imagine myself either but I love it!!!

Good luck to you!!

Welcome! I am 5'5", 35 years old and I started the Sleeve journey at 227 lbs wearing a plus size 20.

I am currently a little over 4 months out, I am 178 lbs and wearing a regular size 14!!! :)

I had the lap band in 2008 and went from 296 lbs to 105. Had complications and had the fluid removed in 2009. I gained about 25 lbs and maintained that for about 5 years. I was a size 18 in high school and only got larger from there... :/ I have never been the size I am now and it is exciting to think about where I am headed. :)
