I just read another post where someone's height varied.  I know you are taller when you wake in the am because the spine compresses during the day while we are up and about.  I wonder if the extra weight we carry compresses the spine and losing weight does actually make you a little taller....

That would be grrrreat if that happened.  OMG I wonder if I could lose enough to hit ...dare I hope....5'0"!

MIne varies over the course of years though. Like I was mearsured as 5'0" for YEARS before I decided to get WLS. Then, when I went in for the visit to ask my PCP about WLS, they measured me at 5'1" and it wasn't a mistake! I had grown since the last measurement and I lost 3 BMI points overnight!

I am 5ft 0 and weigh 187 now. Highest was 222 a year ago. I also have a few co morbs (diabetes, hbp, high cholesterol, probably other issues I am not aware of) and the foot thing - plantar whatever it is... Back of the heels hurt like hell for a couple of years but now that I have lost a bit it is much better. I hope the VSG will help me sort all that out. My goal is 110 but honestly I would be very happy with 120 and anything in between!

I'm 5'3"  - so I'm on the "tall" side with Lee - LOL

My lowest was 121, my goal at 125, held steady at 123.5 for over a year and am now at 133.  While I'd like to be lower, I still look ok.

well I am 4'9 1/2. my high weight was 245 at surgery on Nov 2, I am now at 208 and my goal weight is somewhere around 120..I would LOVE to be 100 lbs but I havent weighed that since I was probably 10 yrs old lol...I have come to the conclusion that I want to be "normal" weight range and I would be soo happy!

Yeah, me too!  You are doing great with the weight loss btw.  Who knows where we will end up!  Good luck.
