I thought I'd seen this question asked before, but if so I can't find the thread.

Did your shoe size change after surgery? It seems like my size got bigger as I gained weight, but that was so long ago I can't remember it clearly.

I'm scheduled for surgery in 23 days. Not thinking, I bought two new pairs of summer shoes a few days ago and now I'm wondering if they'll even fit when summertime gets here.

What was your experience with this? Should I take the shoes back? I got a great deal on them - but not if I won't be able to wear them.

Yes from a 9WW because my feet would swell real bad, to an 8 or 81/2M depending on the shoe.

Yup I went from a 10 to a loose 9.

I went from an 8W to a regular width in a 7 and sometimes a 6 1/2 depending on the brand of sneaker!

At my heaviest, 290, I wore a 9.5-10 depending on the type of shoes. I'm down 87 pounds and now 8.0-8.5. I had to get rid of ALL of my shoes and get new ones (oh the horrors)!! My feet never looked big to me either. But I carry my weight proportionally so I've lost everywhere.

I'm down about a half size and my feet are narrower. For example he first time in a long time I'm in regular width shoes.

Oh joy! I am a women's size 11, pushing out to 11 1/2. Finding shoes is near impossible. If I could lose a size, that would be so fabulous!

Almost 9 weeks out and I'm down a half a size. Good, but =/

I'm down a good half a size.

OMG my feet are smaller and thinner ???? I am stuck between sizes.

I think I noticed it after about 8 months.

I went from a 9 1/2 to an 8 - 81/2 depending on brand.

It makes sense, you lose the Water, swelling and fat.

I can't wait! I used to be a size 7 when I was about 16. Now I'm an 8.5.

@laurenella82. Nine West girl!

I no longer need a wide. Thank you lord! Unfortunately, I'm still a size 11. I got to that size by the time I had my third child. I used to be a 10W. But no worries, I've been able to find some great shoes and can't seen to stop buying shoes, some I may never wear!

Oh my goodness I had no idea this could happen! I mean it makes sense, but I am so excited about this! Size 11 to 11 1/2 (which they don't really make). Would be thrilled to be able to wear a 10! So many more options in a 10.... Happy dance! One more reason to look forward to this surgery!

would the shrinkage occur without wide feet?
