Will my plantar fasciitis subside after losing weight?

My WLS is in eight weeks(I CAN"T WAIT!!!). For about the past 1 1/2 years I have suffered from chronic plantar fasciitis. It is extremely painful, as I am on my feet all day at work. I have custom-made orthotics which have helped minimally, and have been through several cortisone injections,which have only provided temporary relief. My podiatrist has told me foot surgery is my next step. I am holding out until after my gastric bypass surgery in the hopes that by losing a considerable amount of weight, my foot pain will improve. Has anyone out there had their plantar fasciitis pain improve following weightloss? Or has it remained the same?
