Ok today I was noticeing all the extra skin on my boobs, I have lost 31 lbs got banded on June 28th. I just felt really wierd and sad.....has anyone else felt like that, I know cant ddo anything about but hughhhhh

Thanks

i was banded 6/16 and have lost about 36 pounds and I can't stand how my legs are looking. I just look like I have been beat with a bag of quarters or something! I have also went from a DD cup to a C. I feel weird without my boobs.....I have been a D since 9th grade! I guess we're all going to have skin, but I'm not ready for it!

Yeah, I know what you mean. It makes me sad - not that I lost all this weight and am not perfect, but that I'm actually getting old! I dont have that lush young body anymore. I've been through hell and back in the last year with cancer too, I've lost my rectum - weird thing to be attached to but I will never ever be normal again in that sense, its made me menopausal, my knees, hips and shoulders hurt still (probably a side effect of chemo) so that when I set out for a run or get up int he morning, I creak and limp like an old person. Add to that the (pretty minor really) sagging and excess skin from weight loss and many days, I just feel overwhelmingly sad when I see myself naked.

Sadly, we cant remain perfect forever. I've got nothing against plastic surgery, but I know that the way I feel, I coudl give myself perfect boobs or whatever and I'd still feel kinda weird, like time and gravity is going to win in the end anyway, so my personal approach is to work hard to come to terms with that and accept it.

I swear the more I lose, the more skin I have! LOL! I think of my batwings...and tummy rolls...and thigh jiggle...and saggy boobs...as battle scars. I'd rather have the skin than the stuff that filled it before! Besides, 20 more pounds and I should be able to take flight with my batwings.

Yep....I'm almost two months post op and my weight is coming off my face and my boobs. Down a cup size...DOH! I'd rather be alive with sagging small boobs then dead with big ones though. This surgery was life changing for me.
