Question about Feet



Recommended Posts

Gosh I hate to even ask this question because it seems silly but for those that have lost quite a bit of weight did you find that your shoe size changed at all? The reason I ask is several years ago my brother lost quite a bit of weight and he made the comment that he went down one shoe size. I didnt know if he was kidding or not. So can I look forward to shrinking feet or not? Thanks

Makes sense to me. I know my feet were a narrow 9 in High School and then averaged at a 10 for many years. Now I'm an 11 wide!!!

How cool to think of wearing "pretty" shoes again!

Hi Siyah

Mine are a 11 wide also. I travel a lot for work and its such a pain to pack more shoes because they take up so much room in the suitcase. Gosh I would be so nice to wear something smaller....even one size smaller would be great. Good luck on your weight loss journey. I hope to have my band sometime with in the next couple of months. Just trying to learn all I can...

Yep, feet shrinkage and cuter shoes is a definite plus! I was a nine wide and am presently a 8 1/2 normal.

Yep, and I can now wear some non-wide width shoes. It's on of those cool things that I didn't even think about.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
