Hands

Hello all!!!!

I was curious if anyone has lost weight in their hands after gastric bypass? I have very chubby hands (friends refer to them as cabbage patch hands lol)

I can't wait to have normal size feet. On the down side, I'll have to get rid of a LOT of expensive wide shoes. My daughter is going to be busy selling things for me online! :-)

my mom got tired of seeing me flop around in the shoes that were too big and took me shoe shopping. First time I've bought new shoes in YEARS! it was fantastic!!

Oh god yes. Look at my arm/wrist/hand! I almost fell over when I saw this picture.

This is what I'm hoping will happen for me. My ring size is 13 now and I didn't even let my husband get me a real wedding band. I couldn't stand the thought of it being a 13. I have picked out a gorgeous set that gets handmade by a jewelry designer in NY. METALICIOUS.COM

Her stuff is awesome and unique which I like. So I am hoping my fingers go down like yours. :-)

Surgery in the morning!!!

I was unable to see your pics!! But thanks for all the info you guys are great!!

My hands have thinned out along with my feet. My feet went from 10w-11 to 9-10 no wide. I haven't resized my wedding rings yet going to wait until 18 months post. But I did try an 8 and it fit. My rings are a size 10. I wear them on a necklace.

Surgery date 7/25/12

After 50 to 70 pounds I got my run sized. After 100 pounds I wear it on my middle finger. I'm hoping to lose another 40 pounds, so maybe I will need a new set!!! :)
