Yes from a 9WW because my feet would swell real bad, to an 8 or 81/2M depending on the shoe.

Yup I went from a 10 to a loose 9.

I went from an 8W to a regular width in a 7 and sometimes a 6 1/2 depending on the brand of sneaker!

At my heaviest, 290, I wore a 9.5-10 depending on the type of shoes. I'm down 87 pounds and now 8.0-8.5. I had to get rid of ALL of my shoes and get new ones (oh the horrors)!! My feet never looked big to me either. But I carry my weight proportionally so I've lost everywhere.

I'm down about a half size and my feet are narrower. For example he first time in a long time I'm in regular width shoes.

Oh joy! I am a women's size 11, pushing out to 11 1/2. Finding shoes is near impossible. If I could lose a size, that would be so fabulous!

I think I noticed it after about 8 months.

I went from a 9 1/2 to an 8 - 81/2 depending on brand.

It makes sense, you lose the Water, swelling and fat.

I can't wait! I used to be a size 7 when I was about 16. Now I'm an 8.5.

I no longer need a wide. Thank you lord! Unfortunately, I'm still a size 11. I got to that size by the time I had my third child. I used to be a 10W. But no worries, I've been able to find some great shoes and can't seen to stop buying shoes, some I may never wear!

Oh my goodness I had no idea this could happen! I mean it makes sense, but I am so excited about this! Size 11 to 11 1/2 (which they don't really make). Would be thrilled to be able to wear a 10! So many more options in a 10.... Happy dance! One more reason to look forward to this surgery!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
