I think the unfortunate answer to that is yes. I've lost almost 30 pounds, and my boobs are already deflated looking.

:(

When you have F's, they are too heavy. Losing weight means they will get smaller too. Can't wait to be thin and have a breast reduction and reconstruction.

Our proportions sound pretty similar. I am 22, 5'9" and 290 pre band. They are pretty droopy already (F cup) and suspect I will need a lift after weight loss.

Yes, they definitely deflate. But I am much older and mine have been sagging much longer.

As everyone else has said, yes, your breasts will do the deflate and sag routine. Sucks. My have always sagged, so I've got that part down pat. I know the deflate part is coming up next. Not looking forward to it, but it is what it is. I have major bat wings and always have, so I'm more concerned with having those wings removed as opposed to a boob job. I'll continue to use my inserts.

Yep...I certainly discovered that today as I was swimsuit shopping. Couldnt even think about buying one that had a v front....had to get one that was straight across the front. ON the good side......I was able to buy a size 16 swimsuit ....could have probably gone to size 14 but the boobs wouldn't cooperate.

Told hubby I'm claiming the next few income tax return checks to fund my efforts to put everything back where it belongs....before children!!!

I am almost at goal and I am waiting for approval for a reduction/lift. I have always been a 38c but now dd & saggy to my belly button. Not pretty! Tired of stuffing them in with all the extra skin. Nice to go to a C and be perky!

Really dreading the idea of sagging boobs and extra skin but the extra fat doesn't look any better than extra skin and at least I would be health. Going to have to sit done with my hubby and warn him. Havnt even had kids yet so that won't help

Yep, saggy bobbies- I has um!!! Lol

But truth be told it not the worst thing in the world. Mine were uncomfortably large before - now the word is comfort. Plus I get a better selection of bras! Lol

Good luck!!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      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.
