[quote=Anonymous]I had a bunionectomy after child no. 2 (last) and I wish I had never had it.  I was in a foot cast for six weeks - fortunately we did the left foot first, not the right, which is the brake pedal foot - bit deal because you won't be able to drive for six weeks if they do the right foot.  I gained 20 pounds which I've never dropped.  AND I have now read a lot of medical literature and it says that since there are so many bones, tendons and other things going on in the foot, only less than 30% of all people who have had foot surgery thought it was worth it.   I wouldn't do it at all had I known.  Also, not disclosed by bunion doctor, was the fact that he was shortening by big toe a LOT by removing the bunion.  I had Morton's foot to begin with.  Now my second toe is a good half inch longer than my big toe, which looks freakish (you won't want to wear sandal and I am constantly banging the second toe because there is no big toe to protect it.  The surgery was such a failure that I never proceeded to have the right foot done.  Just wear atheletic shoes and flats.  Read up on the success rate of foot surgeries; you'll be surprised.[/quote]
