Have any of you noticed if you lost in your feet also? My mom lost like a whole shoe size one time so I was wondering if any of you have found that with the WLS. She was on a diet at the time.

Yes, I definitely lost in my feet. Not only did they shrink in length, but they also shrank in thickness(which is prob why they shrank in length). Many of my old comfy shoes are simply too big now. :)

I lost an entire size in my feet and went from a wide shoe to a medium width. Lost a whole closet full of shoes, but what I've gained is so much more. :)

My shoes are looser and I'm thrilled. Halfway through my pregnancy last year my work shoes (loafer style) wouldn't fit anymore. When I went back to work they still didn't fit and I was screaming and throwing them across the room. I was probably 2-3 months out til I could even get in them anymore. Now I'm a month out from surgery and can slip them on no problem!

I've definitly noticed my shoes get loser. I had put on some weight the year before surgery and my shoes had gotten too tight one me that i couldn't even wear them. I remember crying and feeling so badly and that was one of the things that pushed me to surgery. Any way those shoes fit loosely not even with thick socks!! And I'm hoping I lose even more. I've always ha extra big and wide feet (12 or 13 extra wide) so it would be great to be able to fit into a regular 11 one day! I think I would pass out haha

When I had my original surgery (evil band) 5yrs ago I went from a 9 to a 7 1/2 shoe size lol. I still wear a 7 1/2 even with the weight I gained back. Hoping not to have to get new shoes again this time lol

I thought I was going to get away without my feet shrinking, but in the last couple weeks I have noticed that my feet have gotten narrower. The shoe size is the same, but all my shoes and sandals are way to loose. Add new shoes to go with a whole new wardrobe. It gets expensive, but gee, what a wonderful problem to have!!!

My feet have shrank about a 1/2 size. ALL my shoes are to stretched out, and I had a lot of shoes. But its all good. Packed them all up and sent them on there way!. I have already cleaned out my closet three times, and I'm only 5 weeks out.

God I love it:)

Lots of change in my feet. My shoes that were too tight before are now almost falling off of my feet.

My shoes are big. I love heels. I have heels I couldn't wear anymore bc I was too heavy and they were too tight. Oh yeah, im back in them now. Some of them are big so I just add a dr scholls cushion inside and they fit better and feel better.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
