I am a larger person aside from weight. Big feet run in the family. I'm 6'2" so yeah I need bigger feet.

Does your feet get any smaller?

weird question I know but curious as to y'alls experiences!

Yes in a lot of cases! My mom lost a size an a half during her weight loss, and DH is down 2 sizes. Mostly its width though, that brings them down, weight loss won't do too much about the length of the foot...

My feet did shrink but only 1 size down in width, but also 1 to a half size in length. I'm guessing it's because I have flat feet anyway & the weight loss made it so it doesn't spread out as much as it did b4.

No one surgery is better than the other, what works for one may not work for another. T-Rebel

I wore a size 9 wide (or 42 in European size) before and now I wear an 8 regular (or 38-39).

I never mined my cloths getting to big but had lots of nice (and expensive) shoes that have gone to consignment.I miss some of them.

My feet got narrower, which means I can now wear women's shoes instead of men's shoes, but they did not get shorter.

Since junior high I have worn an 8 medium. But I have purchased mostly 8.5 medium shoes over the past few years, since being SMO. I bought one pair of 8 wide heels to wear to a wedding two years ago, but they were too wide, and at that weight I didn't feel very stable in heels anyway, and wore (and still wear) mostly flats. I anticipate no longer needing that extra half size at some point during my weight loss, and returning to a size 8 Medium. But I could be wrong! Mostly what I look forward to is being able to comfortably wear high heels again, not to mention tall boots! I have a genuine weakness for gorgeous tall boots!
