Smaller Shoe Size?

After losing weight with the band, has anyone lost so much they went down a shoe size? I was a 11WW before pregnancy and am a 12WW now. I have huge arches and a venous insufficiency in my left leg, so my left foot is always swollen. I'd love it if after losing weight I could actually find a pair of sandals to fit over my swollen feet!

Yes! I'm not done losing, but my feet have already shrank an entire size. My shoes from before surgery are huge on me. I've had to replace them all.

A guy in my support group says he lost a full shoe size. I thought he was just pulling my leg. Then I heard it from another person. I guess it can happen. Good luck to you!

I'm loosing in my feet as well. I've had to tighten my sandals.

Absolutley! I went from a 9 to a 7. Before surgery I had a lot of swelling in my feet and now I dont so they are much smaller.

No:((( I have genetically bad feet. I think I am the only woman in America who does'nt like shoe shopping. They never fit. My easyspirit walking sneakers are 8.5 WW. Most other brands I have to go to 9 or 9 1/2 W. My dad took WW and my grandmother WWW. I've lost 170 pounds so you'd think I'd see thinner feet by now.

I went from a 9 to a 71/2!!!!

Nope, before a 10 now a 10... But shoes fit better now and I can fit into different kinds now. Before I only wore tennis shoes and sandals.
