onmyway11 43 Posted November 15, 2012 What can I do about this situation? My rings are flying around on my fingers but I'm only half way to goal. Do they even make them smaller? Not sure. I know they stretch them out (from experience unfortunately) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aqusis 16 Posted November 15, 2012 As long as they are solid gold or silver they can be sized by a jeweler. Sometimes hard to find one who does silver work but they are out there. My fingers are always the first thing to shrink! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
♕ajtexas♕ 3,771 Posted November 15, 2012 I've had my wedding ring sized down once already. Cost $40. Need to do it again, lol. Some people rap bandaides or tape around the ring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddysgram 6,159 Posted November 15, 2012 I've always had ring guards on mine. My hands swell up & down all through the day. A jeweler puts them on and they're cheap. Have had mine on for 20 yrs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted November 15, 2012 Yes, I have a mother's ring that started off tight on my middle finger. Now it's so big it literally falls off my ring finger. As others have stated, if it's gold or silver, a jewelry will resize it for you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2justme 15 Posted November 15, 2012 If you're still loosing weight I would buy some ring guards/sizers and use those until you reach your goal. That way you don't have to keep putting money out to have a Jeweler size them. You can buy clear rubber ones at Walmart in the jewelry dept. or at the mall at like Claire's or The Icing or Charming Charlie Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaGottaBand 498 Posted November 15, 2012 You could try a Ring Snuggie until you get down to your goal weight and then have your rings sized. I found these at Wal-Mart. 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FLORIDAYS 3,040 Posted November 15, 2012 I waitied because the jeweler said doing it more then once wasnt good for the metal and stones.... SO I wore my wedding rings on my middle finger for 4-5 months.... I just got them sized a few months ago since I am maintaining. I went from a size 11 to size 7. You can get ring gaurds... or yarn works too. 1 meyouus reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meyouus 415 Posted November 15, 2012 Yeah, my engagement ring and another one keep rotating to under my finger and I'm constantly repositioning it. Especially when it's cold out and my fingers shrink a little. Hey Maddysgram, you said your jeweler put your ring sizer on, is that one permanent? 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I met a girl in Napa over the weekend and she had a permanant one on her engagement ring. It kinda looked like a "ledge" at the bottom of the ring. It was kinda cool, never saw anyone with that before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
☠carolinagirl☠ 18,721 Posted November 15, 2012 i resized once but will hold off til i get a wee bit farther. my diamond band is behind my wedding band so not to lose it..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rayanne 283 Posted November 15, 2012 go to a jewelry store that have little guards that they can put on them that you can adjust so you can still wear your rings..most jewelry stores have them and they are usually free 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kime-lou 648 Posted November 15, 2012 I'd wait and resize when you hit goal. What my BFF did when she was losing was went and bought and inexpensive stack ring (you can get nice onces from Jared for $60) in a size that fit and put that on the end. It looked like she just had an extra ring beside her wedding rings and looked good- that prevented her wedding rings from sliding off. You can also buy an insert that will make the ring tighter. Great problem to have!! 1 meyouus reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes the can make them smaller. I can finally wear my rings as I never had them made larger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beckysue 3 Posted November 15, 2012 A friend who lost 100 pounds wears her wedding rings on her middle finger. I asked her why not resize? She said it reminds her of her accomplishments every morning when she puts her rings on. 1 CaGottaBand reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
