Hi Guys.

A quick question. After surgery do your calves get smaller?

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Welcome to the board, thank you for joining us.
As for your Q, well, you will drop in shoe sizes, just about everything will get smaller.

Mine measured about 20 something inches when i started and now 5 months later they are 18 inches so Yes they do shrink but for me they are going very very slow. I have always had very muscular legs though thigh and calves so im not suprized they are taking so long to leave.

Lord yes they have gotten smaller! I have my legs back. I might have been a large lady all my life but i always had nice looking legs until the last 7-8 years. That is the first thing that went down on me. My nieces all commented on them wishing they had my calfs.

Thank you everyone for your responses. You guys are the best. I am going to go and post my profile, as I am having surgery next month and I really want to become familiar with everyone on the board.

I bought a pair of boots that zip up to the knee right after surgery, and they barely zipped past my ankle, well every two weeks I try them on and zip a little further each time!
