hugsamber 8 Posted October 20, 2010 When I played basketball in high school the coaches would always say I was 5'7 on the roster, I guess to make the other teams think I was taller. I was actually 5'3.5....or so I thought. I just went to the docter this past Friday and I was 5'4.5....I guess I got an inch taller having lost almost 20 pounds! I really do think that the thinner we get the taller we look....maybe it is because we are less "round"!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
feedyoureye 3,087 Posted October 20, 2010 I too lost height... I always said I was 5'10" and with all the med testing and stuff my height was all over the place. One nurse finally said lets use the OFFICIAL measuring device at the office. She took me into a back room and there it was. I took off the shoes and got on. 5'8 3/4" Maybe being fat all these years have squashed me down? More surface for gravity to affect? LOL... a little...

christina@MIA 12 Posted October 20, 2010 Well I don't know about YOU ladies, but I saw on Oprah that for every 30lbs a man loses he gains an inch back!! LMAO!! I'm down almost 45lbs pre-op so I've got an inch and a half back! I checked!! HAHAHAHA Uh oh! Christina is gonna yell at me again! LOL Please don't take any offense! I'm just kidding. I'm hoping that someone who is having a bad day of recovery will at least get a smile out of this. Are you sure she was talking about hight.......I heard you guys gain it back in another area......Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darma2011 1 Posted October 20, 2010 Yeah, and what's with this Three Quarters stuff? I'm 5'5 and three quarters... I just put 5'6... I'm not going to do all that "almost" garb. Funny too though, I always put that I was 5'7 all my life, up until I was about to have my band surgery when they broke the news to me - that I'm actually fatter than I originally thought.
