I notice that all of my bras are big now that I have lost 26lbs...

as far as having a breast reduction...Wait on it until you reach our goal then judge FOR YOURSELF...

i'm also interested in this question. i'm only about 3 weeks post op, and am a size DD. i'm realllyyyy hoping that theres a lot of fat in my breasts and once i lose weight my bra size will decrease as well! i do have to say though, that ive lost about 20 pounds since the day of my operation, and im currently wearing a bra that i used to "muffin top" over, for lack of a better word and it no longer does that! i definitely agree with zeniada though, wait until you reach goal then decide for yourself! :)

I was happy to see this post as I thought it was just me.

Down 25 lbs and went from a 46 to a 42 (sports bras)

Put on an old regular bra 38C, a little tight but the cup was right used to be a D.

I have lost 104lbs; I was a 44dd, I am a 36c. I wear a d cup, tho' because to me the c is just not comfortable, yet. I love to shop at Victoria Secret instead of Lane Bryant or wherever we fat girls had to shop. Don' t do anything yet. It is far to soon to be talking about a breast reduction. My breast are saggy, but I think that when most woman are my age(62), they are saggy. I can say for my 40 year old daughter, her breast look great! She never really had cleavage when she was fatter. She does now,and looks good. Go for a nice fitting wherever you shop when you need an adjustment. Karen(kll724)

I agree with those who said wait until you are at goal to even think about doing anything with the girls. At that time it is YOUR personal choice, not the nurse's or anyone else's.

I went from a 42DD to a 36C after 111 pounds lost.

I would wait until you reach your goal weight. I am 44 yrs old & 44DD. I hope to get back to a 38C. Age may change this. Is so then I will get my boob reduction then. I to could have one now too but I would like to do natural first.

42D to a 36C.

Why does the nurse think you need a reduction? Are you having back pain/problems? If not, say thank you for your input.

If there is no medical reason for it, and you don't want it. Don't do it!

I was wearing a 46C before beginning my pre-op diet, then down to 46B on surgery day. Today, at 4 weeks post op, I can comfortably hook the 46B on the next tighter eye, but the cup is too big. The extra fabric scrunches under my shirt and looks awful. In the meantime, for work I lay a folded up sock inside my bra underneath to help fill out the cup so it doesn't look so bad. When the band part is too big, then I'll buy a smaller cup size as well (geez, that's going to be an A.....)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
