Shoe Size Changes Post Lap Band Surgery?

[kelmelmom24 0]

I am a pre-op lap bander (shooting for feb date) and have a crazy question! Did anyones shoe size change post lap-band? I have been wondering about this as my shoe size increased with my weight gain. Thanks for everyones input- love this forum!!

Thats a good question. I have only been banded for 2 days, so I would also like to know the answer.

My dress shoes are now too big. I will have to replace them.

I used to wear a 9 1/2 wide, sometimes even a 10. I had to buy a longer size to accommodate a fat foot.

125 lbs later I wear an 8 1/2.

Yes, your shoe size will shrink as you lose weight. Happy shoe shopping!!!

Well when I was thinner years ago I was a size 9 or 10...but since I've gained so much weight I am now a size 11 or 12! And my feet are SOO wide too! I feel like my feet are humongous compared to other people. Once I loose the weight I'm sure I will be back down to my normal size that I used to be...and my mom had gastric bypass and said that it will, it happened to her too!

Funny that you thought to ask this. It would have never occured to me. But, YES...my feet did shrink. It never occured to me that my feet had gotten fat too! I was in an 8, and now I am back to a size 7. I have some really cute shoes, now none of them fit
