Thats a good question. I have only been banded for 2 days, so I would also like to know the answer.

My dress shoes are now too big. I will have to replace them.

I used to wear a 9 1/2 wide, sometimes even a 10. I had to buy a longer size to accommodate a fat foot.

125 lbs later I wear an 8 1/2.

Yes, your shoe size will shrink as you lose weight. Happy shoe shopping!!!

Well when I was thinner years ago I was a size 9 or 10...but since I've gained so much weight I am now a size 11 or 12! And my feet are SOO wide too! I feel like my feet are humongous compared to other people. Once I loose the weight I'm sure I will be back down to my normal size that I used to be...and my mom had gastric bypass and said that it will, it happened to her too!

Funny that you thought to ask this. It would have never occured to me. But, YES...my feet did shrink. It never occured to me that my feet had gotten fat too! I was in an 8, and now I am back to a size 7. I have some really cute shoes, now none of them fit :(

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
