I am still a few weeks pre-op but I'd like to hear if your shoe size changed at all after surgery? If so how long did it take?

In the past 8-9 months I packed on another 60-70 lbs (yikes). This was on top of already being morbidly obese. Anyway, my shoe size went up, most likely due to swelling. All my life I was a 9, sometimes I could fit an 8 1/2 even. But now I am solidly a 10. I cannot fit into any of my old shoes and resorted to wearing Crocs clogs for comfort.

So has anyone else had this happen and then their shoe size went back to normal? I need hope!

Yes, my shoes fit looser now. I even bought some size seven boots. Of course, shoe manufacturers vary so it is hard to have a clue what size I would have bought before. But, most of my shoes fit better now, except for one pair which is just too big and probably needs to go away.

Hang on to your old favorites, they will probably fit great again!

My length stayed at a 10 but the width went from a Wide to a Medium. I had bought a pair of sandals for the following summer in a 10W and ended up selling them on Ebay because I couldn't walk in them.

I, as well, went from a wide to medium.

I went from a 8.5Medium to 7.5 Narrow/Medium (depending on the shoe). Took about 6 months after surgery for the final size to stabolize.

I noticed a difference on my second month. I started wearing the shoes that were uncomfortable. In fact, those are the most comfortable now and I just started my third month. I'm an 8.5 now, not a 9 anymore. I suspect I will end up being an 8. Hope this helps.

These replies DO help a lot. I was thinking that I have all these great shoes that I'll never be able to wear again. Now I know to hang onto them, so glad! I was thinking it'll probably be about 6 months post op before I can wear them again.

i'M 6 MONTHS OUT I USE TO WEAR A 7 WIDE AND HAD TO GET NEEDLES IN MY HEELS FOR HEEL SPURS...BUT NOW I AM A 6 REGULAR AND NO FOOT PROBLEMS...OH IM 6O LBS LIGHTER.

I had older shoes that had become too tight on my feet and I was not wearing. Now that I have been losing weight they are fitting again and feel fine. Smaller feet is good as now I can wear shoes and not have to spend a fortune on new shoes too. The cost of clothing is enough but then I had a lot of old clothes in smaller sizes too. Guess i did not throw some things away as I always thought that someday I would get back into that size......maybe one day

OK I too was an 8 1/2...then after my son was born (almost 20 years ago) I went to a 9...then after my daughter was born (15 years ago) I went to a 9 1/2 -10...now I'm a 9 - 9 1/2

I went from a 9/9.5 wide to 8/8.5 regular. I still have 36 more lbs to go.

Side note: I can wear a size 9 jean now! Old size was 20

yup..I went from a 15 wide back to my old 14 wide I had in high school

All these responses make me very happy for all the cute shoes I have!

Got my fingers crossed!! I've been looking at shoes online. I'd be happy just to go from a WW to a W!

Yes mine too. I can wear shoes now that are a whole size smaller than when I started.

At 18 I wore an 8. In my twenties, as the weight crept up, I got up to a 9/9.5. By age 30 I was a pretty solid 10 and that's where I've been the past fee years (and always buying wide width when available!) By last summer I was wearing an 11!!! Now, after losing 40 lbs on my 6 month MSWLP, Ive had to give away tons of shoes because I'm back in 9's and 9.5's! It's weird that I'm losing so much from my feet because before I gained the last 40 pounds I just lost, I wad in at least a size 10. Strange how our bodies shift around the weight!
