Anyone else's boobs GROW as their bodies are shrinking?????

I've been a C cup basically since I got them, only having them grow when I was pregnant.... I went bra shopping today and I had them measure me, and I went up a cup size. How is that possible?? Could it be the excess skin from losing that could cause that, b/c they feel smaller then they did pre-op but 2 professionals told me otherwise...

Anyone else have this issue??:smile2:

YES! I've lost nearly 70lbs since 6/8/09 and I've gone from a 44D to a 40DD. I'm afraid to see what size my girls will be when I lose another 65lbs and reach my goal weight! :smile2:

Mine have definatly shrunk. I went from a 42I to now a 38DDD after losing 84 pounds. I know I will lose more because now I probably have a cup size of excess skin! Hope I wont lose them completely...lol

I don't know if this is true or not but i have also gone up a cup size i have went from a 44c to a 38D. Now the lady At VS told me that i might have been wearing the wrong size when i was bigger that i relied on the sides of the bra for coverage instead of the cup and that i don't have as much padding on my side i can tell now where my boobies start ( i guess i didn't know where the fat ended and the boobies began lol). Or maybe a C cup in a 44 is bigger then a C cup in a 38 I have never put my old bra to my new bra and seen if the cups are the same size

Renee, I had the same prob too... But I think the VS lady gave me an inch when she measured me, b/c Apparently, In VS, I'm a 38 D, But I went and bought a calvin Klein one and they didn't have 38, So I got the 36D and it fits the same as the VS.... I hope that I'm not going to have the same prob as I do with Jeans (I've talked about it on here, how I'm a 10 in one cut, but a 14 still in another, and all the jeans are from Old Navy) but one thing is firm though, I am indeed a D... not a C :frown: BUT, it's totally Goodbye Quadra-boob

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
