Guest guest Posted October 28, 2001 Report Share Posted October 28, 2001 Hi Everyone, This is my first post here. I usually post on just the ds_usc board because it is hard enough to keep up with that board alone but, tonight I have a big question and hope someone could shed some light on it. Before surgery I was 5' 6 " . Today my partner had been teasing me all day because I appeared shorter. Being sensitive about it since I was short to begin with out came the measuring tape as soon as we got home. I have shrunk just over a 1/2 inch. I know we can loose bone mass if we do not properly supliment Calcium but, I am only 5.25 months post op and have been diligently taking my Calcium. Has anyone else dropped in height and do you know why it happens? Shrinking Amy DS 5/16/01 399.7 pounds 10/28/01 276.6 pounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 29, 2001 Report Share Posted October 29, 2001 Measure yourself first thing in the morning. We're a quarter to a half inch taller in the AM. Then measure yourself before bed. Be amazed! > In a message dated Sun, 28 Oct 2001 9:38:49 PM Eastern Standard Time, rhinnogrl@a... writes: > > > Has anyone else dropped in height and do you know why it happens? > > > > Amy, my guess is since you've lost 123 lbs. you've lost enough padding off your feet to be shorter.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2001 Report Share Posted October 30, 2001 This is interesting, I am 5'3 3/4 " or I was last time I was measured. Since my surgery several people several who I have just recently met keep referring to me as " being small " These people never seen me before my surgery, if they had I would assume it was just due to the change in weight. I was beginning to think maybe I had shrunk an inch or so, because I NEVER really thought of myself as being small.I wear a size 6 1/2or 7 shoe and a 6 in a ring,is this what typically is considered small?
