I'm still losing, but after getting down 85 lbs. I went from a 40DD to a 38DD....I think it's a genetic thing, so probably wait and see what happens.

I am still losing, but went in for a bra fitting yesterday. I am 5'9", Had a starting weight of 326 and was a 44F. Now I am about 225 and a 36DDD. It sucks that at 23 my boobs are as saggy as they are (think a deflated sharpei... literally almost at my belly button) but I'd rather be healthy with saggy boobs than unhealthy with bigger ones. I too am thinking of a lift when I hit goal.

You are doing marvelously, Daisychains7, I know that you are proud of the new you! A you lose, you will probably lose some more on top. 36 something is probably where you will stay, but that is not too bad, I think everyone who is currently losing, should wait for a lift until they are near or at goal. Wise choice!! I am an "old" lady. 63. My breast size went from 44dd to 36d, or c. I don't like how I look in a c because they looked squished in. I am very flabby, but no surgeries for me at my age. Good luck to you all. Karen

Hi' date='

I had a reduction two years ago and before surgery my doctor asked me if I planned on doing lapband surgery. at that time I was not planning on doing it, he stated to me if I was planning on doing lapband he would wait for me to do the reduction because of weight lose. Now that I have made the choice to do lapband I wonder what size my breast will end up at. Before reduction I was an H, now I am a C. If I had to do it all over again I would wait till after the band to do a reduction.[/quote']

I did the same thing. I was a 40 dd and now I'm a 38c. I had my Lapband surgery 2 months ago and my husband is the one worried.(lol) when I had my breast reduction 3 yrs ago, I had no intentions of having Lapband. I would wait.

I def would NOT get a reduction before losing the weight. I started a DD at 220lbs years ago and lost some weight and went down to a b (150lbs) then i gained weight, was at 200 lbs and was a D. Then I lost weight again and at 150lbs I was a b again and my boobs looked terrible. I went in for a lift and implants and I am now a d again.

You will lose a lot in your boobs during weight loss so I would wait to see how you end up. You dont want to get a reduction and then lose weight and lose more boobs and then be saggy and super small.

Thank you! I am really happy with my progress and enjoying my new shape :)

I would love to be a 36d or c too... then again, anything would be an improvement from where i started. lol.

wish you much success as well :)

I am also 5'3. Started out as a G or so in cup size. Had back pain and problems etc. Now after a 60 lb loss am a C! Need a lift but no longer qualify for a reduction so I would wait but that's just me. Granted we have different starting and end goals as each other just thought the loss will be similar :)

I am down 110 lbs & 12 lbs from goal. Down from a 42 G to a 38 DD. I am needing a lift & fat sucked out the side as i have to fold & stuff my boobs as they are down to my waist. I love my new body & will feel better with the sag gone. I am 45 yrs old and i would be in this boat as i was always going to have a reduction. I am waiting for approval. Hope i don't have to wait to long. The wait list i heard is up to 2 yrs. Fingers crossed!

Great news! 3 months after my breast reduction & lift now I am a 36B :). Never dreamed I would be that small. Loving it!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
