Will my feet & chest shrink after surgery?

My breasts went first which surprised me.....from a 42D to a 36D (and I am still losing)....they are not pancakes so I am grateful.  I was also shocked that my feet have gotten smaller.....was 8.5 and now between a 7.5 and a 8.   Don't buy the shoes!

 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.

 Yes to both. Both will shrink - maybe a LOT.

Good luck!

Yes they both shrink - apparently the 'sisters' end up looking like unfilled tube socks - not the most attractive look.  I'm only down 60 so far and both are smaller on me

RNY on 08/29/11 with

My feet shrank from a 9 to a 7 and 1/2 after I lost 80lbs on the lapband, the regain took them back to an 8 but now my shoes are loose again, so I'm back down in the 7.5.

and my boobs, yep, the girls are shrinking

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.

 I'm down both a shoe size and a cup size. The shoe size I'm thrilled with, the cup size not so much considering there wasn't all that much to lose in the first place. :P

I am 4 1/2 months out and have lost a half size in shoes 8 down to a 7 1/2, and my chest a 42/44 D to 38C and this is just 4 months out. So far I don't need to tuck the girls into my waistband lol but they are definately more deflated!

 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..
