What the actual fuck

[OMGImTiny]

I've name changed because this is incredibly outing.

After ongoing back problems, I had surgery Monday.

Anyway... I got up today for a shower and DP said you look really small. I had a look in the mirror and definitely looked shorter.

Before the operation I was 5 foot 11 I have had him measure me today, like you do with a child when they stand against the wall when you make a mark… Twice. I am now 5 foot 8.5.

I phoned the surgeon secretary and she said she's never heard of this before. She said maybe a quarter of an inch maximum.

What. The. Fuck

[TheQueef]

Have they removed anything?

[SnuggyBuggy]

I guess it depends on what the surgery was. I'd expect them to have discussed it with you if a significant loss in height was to be expected though

[Theunamedcat]

Has something slipped?

[MidnightHangingTree]

When were you last measured at 5'11? I'm pretty sure people naturally shrink over time; my mum swears she's 5'4 but I'm 5'5 and she's a good 2 or 3 inches shorter than me.

What was the surgery?

[IndieTara]

I lost an Inch in height after back surgery too

[SmileyClare]

Is it possible you're hunched over after the Op? Or perhaps dh measured inaccurately?

It sounds like major surgery. Was it a discectomy after herniated discs? I hope it solves your issues and you recover soon. I think 5'8" is pretty tall no consolation I know

This should be in "The Unexplained"!

All the best for your recovery.

[OMGImTiny]

They repaired the discs so no nothing should have 'gone'

The day of surgery!!!!

[MidnightHangingTree]

@OMGImTiny oh... I thought you were going to say 20 years ago. That is definitely odd then!!!

[TheQueef]

Very odd!
If a vertebra or disc removed you would maybe be shorter

[satnighttakeaway]

Have you tried on any trousers, are they now too long?

[tanstaafl]

When exactly were you 5’11”?
Measure exactly the same way now as you did then.

Or, your DP is playing one hell of a practical joke OP.

I thought that but they still fit. I have 35 inch inner legs and that hasn't changed, so it must be my torso. Which is going to end up with my body looking very out of proportion.

Ha, I usually wonder why people name change as the chances of being outed are ridiculously small.

Well, I do know you lol (you're the same height as me and ive noticed it in discussions we've had on FB group chats ) and I am on your Instagram and have been following your updates this week.

I know you have lots of followers so not sure you see my updates, but I'm currently puppy spamming my feed with my head-sitting pup (if that helps you identify me!)

Anyway, could it be a temporary reduction in height? While everything settles again?

Your husband isn't Mr Twitt is he?

[TerrifiedOfTrying4No2]

See a chiropractor? It’s probably due to posture after surgery and you’re not always aware that your posture is off.

[lunar1]

On the day if surgery were you measured in the same spot as at home? Or measured at the hospital?

[SunshineCake]

I've lost 1.5inches in a time span I don't know but yours sounds quite unsettling.

[blankittyblank]

Could you have been mis-measured in the hospital?

I'm sorry op but I found this thread really quite funny and then this post 😂. I don't mean to laugh but it's so bizarre, and your partner saying 'you look short' 😂 sorry I blame lockdown.

I have no idea! It's just so strange

I've just realised this means you have seen my rant about dick pics too 🤣🤣🤣 (you would not believe how many women have messaged me agreeing)

[ScrapThatThen]

Lie down a lot to recover and hope it doesn't last!
