Will my feet & chest shrink after surgery?
Down 120 lbs.
Bra size went from 48 H to 36 C. Tube socks. Rolled up. But I am 59.
Feet went from 8 triple E to 7.5 E. I can find shoes now - still hard, but it was impossible before.
Ring size shrunk quite a bit - several sizes. Tight on my ring finger is now loose on my middle finger.
Head/hat size also shrunk.
EVERYTHING shrinks.

I had my surgery over three years ago and have lost about 150 lbs. Everything gets smaller - even my hats were too big! Until you get close to your goal weight I'd suggest shopping at Salvation Army, thrift store, discounts stores. When you're ready to start exercising - do invest in some good shoes. Good luck to you.
14 days after surgery i could wear shoes that I havent been able to wear for 4 years or so. I can still wear my other ones no problem but I was glad that I could get my feet back into some of my favorites. :) I dont have very big boobies to begin with, if they have shrunk I havnet noticed yet. For a fat chick Im very small chested. At 300 lbs I had 44c/d 's. im about a 42 now. but I went to a 42 before I had surgery. I took someones advice and bought my bras a size smaller because they get stretched out over time...wasnt a very smart move, as they now rub me between the boobs on my chest. So, I wont do that again! Im hoping that mine dont shrink too bad since I am smaller up top. now my feet on the other hand, they can shrink as much as they want to! My feet are pretty fat/swollen and had to buy 11's just to fit into them width wise even though that meant they were a little to long on me. the swelling on my feet went down quite a bit after surgery.. Before I had kids (19 yrs) i wore a size 8. i gained a lot of weight with each of my pregnancys, so I m hoping to get to a 8.5 or even 9. I can wear dr scholls in 9 since i can adjust the width, but anything else is 10 or 11 right now. I am only 4 weeks out though..
