Guest guest Posted September 27, 2000 Report Share Posted September 27, 2000 hey friends, i am postop and can't wait til i can see my way to be a postop! my letter is sitting with the director of human resources at the hospital where i work, i have no idea how long it will take to get a response from her. being that this surgery is not a covered procedure, i'm counting on a denial, and planning on an appeal. anyway, i was just kinda thinkin of what it would be like to be a " normal " size for the first time in my life...and i was wondering...do any of the postops out there know if your feet actually get smaller/less wide? i have a terrible time with shoes cuz my feet are so wide. i'm hoping that they too will become a " normal " size. what else that you wouldn't normally think about getting smaller gets smaller? (besides boobs?) thanks leilla from claremont nc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2000 Report Share Posted September 27, 2000 I agree with Irma...I'm just 2 weeks postop. I have very short, fat, stubby fingers and wear a size 13 ring. In the last couple of days, all my rings have become very loose, flopping around on my fingers. My watch has become so loose it's never in the right place when I look at it. Yep...it's the little things that make this so exciting. Perhaps no one else can see my little changes, but I sure can! I've lost 25 pounds so far. YaaaHoooooooo!!! :-))))))))) ebbieday > > hey friends, i am postop and can't wait til i can see my way to be > > > > > YES YOUR FEET GET SMALLER.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2000 Report Share Posted September 28, 2000 Hi Irma, I don't mind helping you out as much as I can... LOL means Laugh Out Loud ... since you can't hear or see expressions on the computer, sometimes symbols are used to show emotions. This is a smile- :^) This is a rose @--}---- Just have fun!!!

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2000 Report Share Posted September 28, 2000 Irma, LOL = Laugh Out Loud. Meaning, I meant it in a funny or kind way. Kind of adds tone to your posts. Let's you know I wasn't being ugly when I wrote that. I am by no means an expert on Netiquette, but I do know that. hehe Take care, Kristi in AL MGB 9/22/00 288/279 Irma Lane wrote: > > > Irna, > > Welcome, but start with the caps lock off, it is considered > yelling.
