New license or ID and passport or work badges.

[Krista27 340]

Whwn did you decide to get a New license or ID and passport or work badges? I'm just wondering what is normal time frame since your generally still losing some weight? Oh and wedding ring I wear a 6 1/2 but am worried it will go down. How many sizes did your ring need to go down. And just one more because I have insomnia. How many sizes did you shoes change?

My boss has put a new ID photo on the work wall ... now six months and 34kg (77 pounds) (5.5 stones) lighter.

My five year D/L renews in 2020 ... so RMS will tale a new photo then.

Passport due for upgrade in 2027 ... maybe a new photo then.

I was a Y wedding ring and now it slips off or falls off.

I don't wear it to the pool for my exercise any more.

I told my wife I'd get it adjusted before our next anniversary. (Dec 2018).

I didn't change my drivers license photograph for several years after I had surgery and lost 120 pounds. Whenever I wrote a check and they asked to see my driver's license, I would give it to them and watch to see if they ever noticed the difference. They never did.

Luckily my license expired 7 months after my surgery so it was perfect timing. I'm concerned about my passport though. I dont think it looks like me at all anymore. I had just renewed so I''m dreading paying for another one.

I've lost 85 pounds and oddly my wedding ring still fits just fine. I always had slim finger so I guess I really didn't lose any weight there. Same shoe size also, but my feet don't hurt anymore!

I hadn't thought about my drivers license or passport - I guess I'll update them whenever they need to be renewed. My face is certainly thinner but I don't think I really look like a drastically different person and I haven't been questioned yet. My wedding rings didn't fit anymore prior to surgery and now they do fit and are getting a little big. My guess is that I've gone down about 1.5-2 ring sizes? and my shoe size is exactly the same but I generally can buy normal width now instead of wide width.

I used mine until expired. This time I did not lie about my weight

Weight loss can impact ring size, but it varies for each person. Some might need to resize their rings down a couple of sizes, while others might not need any adjustments at all. As for wedding rings, it's totally natural to worry about sizing changes. I wear a 6 1/2 as well, and I can understand the concern.

I need to get a new badge because I DO NOT look like my photo...it was taken when I was at my heaviest.

My driver's license, thankfully, is only about a year old and I'm about 20 pounds heavier in it. It still looks like me.

My pre-surgery engagement ring was a 9 and my post-surgery wedding ring is a 4 1/2. My fingers shrank A LOT.

My shoe size went from a 7-7 1/2 to a 5 1/2. So I went down TWO shoe sizes. I also no longer have to buy wide widths.
