I'm not banded yet, but when you lose weight, do your feet shrink? My feet have gotten so wide that I literally can't find any shoes that fit. I will have to go to a specialty store to get them made, but I can't affford it. I am ashamed to say that I usually own one pair of shoes at a time and wear them until they fall apart or stink so bad I have to toss them. Right now I buy cheapies at payless but have to get them 1-2 sizes too big which makes me trip often.

My shoe size is shrinking and the greates thing about it is I was wearing a 12 medium and that is my mother's shoe size and she has gotten all of my shoes! I can now wear an 11 medium or a 10 wide. I wore and 11 medium when I graduated high school but I didn't ever have wide feet until I got into the 300 lb range. I also love to buy shoes so my mom inherited and we counted 15 pairs of boots 8 pairs of sneakers(k-swiss, nike, reebok) and 13 pairs of dress shoes all in perfect condition she is in heaven!!! Now I am on to more shoe shopping LOL
