I Grew? How Does This Happen?



Recommended Posts

So during my preop phase I was alarmed to find I had shrunk 1 3/4 inches. I'm only 45 but I've had back problems for years. I measured in at 5'2" at a few preop appointments. In my younger years I was 5'3" and 3/4..my fiancé chalked it up to my bad posture but I knew it had a lot to do with my osteoarthritis in my back. But get this...I now measure 5'3"!!!

I've had coworkers tell me I walk with much more confidence and "stand taller" now but I thought they were just using a figure of speech. It's true though!

I thought this was weird and kind of cool so I just had to share!

Another plus is it lowered my BMI!

I am 40 and shrunk almost an inch. I'm so ticked. My BMI is now higher which is scarier. Ugh
