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.

So some of you have noticed a change after less than a month? Now that would be awesome! I'd love to be able to wear cute little sandals in a half-size or more smaller come Spring. And I can't wait until I lose enough weight that my feel will let me put them in a something that isn't FLAT.

(Countdown update: Surgery in just 15 days!)

I have not had surgery yet but my foot is a 13. It was that when I was skinny. However now I am a wide. I am hoping I can go back to normal width.

This gives me hope lol! I am having surgery in just under two weeks and I really hope my feet shrink! It is hard to find cute shoes in an 11w.

Yes, a full size. On workout shoes ( wider fit) I can go additional 1/2 size smaller. I was lucky to be able to donate a lot of my work shoes so I didn't have to throw them out.

@Okiebon

similar question wayyyy back 3+ years ago when i was a newbie

Then i realized shoe sizes definitely do to happen to many, many people

unfortunately i was not one of them

I posted on this preop and got a variety of answers. Now that I'm post op I can attest that my shoe size has gone down almost a whole size and I still have 50 lbs to go. But, maybe some people don't have as much fat on their feet? I dunno...

I soooooo know the feeling! To give you hope...When I was larger I wore a 13. At one point I dropped sizes to an 11.5 after losing quite a bit of weight.

WOW! I'm not departing with any of my Jordan's tho!!! #JustSaying

I lost a half size in length and needed especially new shoes due to the width being stretched out as well. Orthotics or insoles filled in the problem in several pairs of shoes and that was good for my more expensive ones. I was an 8 and on the wide side. Now 7 or 7 1/2 and need them more narrow.

The idea of smaller feet excite me!!!!! Awesome!!!

i have lost 1 1/2 sizes so far! It is exciting! i have never had small feet before!!!
