Okay I know that may sound weird but I had my 3 month appt today and they said I grew. I was like ummm no, that is what I always thought I was. I was 5'4" in the military but when I started going to my doc last year they told me whoever measuered me before was wrong. I guess not, huh. Personally, I think it was my donk that kept me from being measured properly since you can't stand straight against the wall. I thought it was amusing and figured I'd ask if anyone else has had this happen?
My goal 135; current 132;  pre-op highest 285; I have lost more than I weigh...  I my RNY!

Hey thurr Erica
Gurrrrrl I am PRAYING that I do. I believe that I will because my donk will not allow me to even lie flat on my back, I feel like a see saw. I am currently 5"6 so I will take whateva because I've always wanted more height.

I am starting to be able to lay on my back. I always put a pillow there because there is always a huge gap between the small of my back and the bed because of my duke. I can lay flat now but only for a little while, before, never. I don't really think I grew, just that my back couldn't line up straight enough because of my duke but on the off chance I am wrong I want one more inch, lol.

Naw, I wish.  I did not grow.  I was 5'5 before and the last time I check I am still 5'5.

I heard somewhere, I forgot where, that sometimes being heavy compresses the spine together making it shorter.  So when you lose weight, it straightens itself out and you regain the inches you lost.  I hope that with my weight loss I find another 4 inches.  I'm only 5'3".

I hope I grow BACK to where I was before putting on so much weight. I use to be 5'11 when I was weighing right at about 200lbs. With me being in the upper 200s I am 5'9. Doctor says my knees are caving in on me.

Yep, I'm now 6'3 1/2 but I think it was  because of my huge donk also. Now I'm flat against the wall.
