Did I grow??
Hi everyone,
Before I got so heavy, I used to be 5'8" according to my doc. Then last year when I went in to see my PCP for my annual check up, I had shrunk to 5'6". I measured myself this morning and I am back up to 5' 7.25". Did I grow? Or did losing the 60 pounds take enough pressure off my vertebrae that they have spread back out and I am reattaining lost height? Whatever it is, I'll take it!!! 
Have a great day everyone!

Hey Robin, I think you have the theory pretty on target. Your vertebrae is spreading back out and you are back to a regular height. But be prepared you will probably shrink again. As we lose the weight and our heads & feet get smaller, our height shrinks. I now measure about 3/4 of an inch shorter than I was.

I was really enjoying my regained height. I noticed my feet are getting smaller, but that's mostly because they aren't swollen any more from the high blood pressure. Thanks for making me aware of the possibility though!
Have a good one!

Shorter???? I already have to buy my height. Are you telling me that I will need to add more - UGH! At 5'4", I cannot afford to shrink any.
YIKES!
