I seem to have misplaced



Recommended Posts

the 2 lumps that used to be on my chest, any idea where they might have gone????

Seriously I am about 68 pounds done from Jan of 2010 and one month post op and suddenly I have lost my breasts! I look down and all I see is baggy shirt material where they used to be. I am not sure how I feel about that.

I am not looking forward to anymore surgery, but I do think when I have my Tummy Tuck, I will have to get the girls replaced:)

sorry gals, can't relate with you there. . . I have always hated my boobs, so much in fact that in 2000 I had them reduced big time. . they took 14lbs off each one. . . can you believe that! and that left me with a 44D! Now that I've lost 145 lbs I'm a 38D, they just don't seem to want to leave. . . it's my butt that I worry about. . .but at this time it's still rounded and cute. . . thank god for genetics in that area! :lol:

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm getting my girls replaced big time. I can not stand not having boobs. I don't feel feminine without a bra. I hate looking at my flat chest. Most people do not believe they look "this bad", but believe me, they are horribly ugly.

I would almost get boobs over a tummy tuck at this point. I'm starting the consultation portion of the insurance hoops after the 1st of the year.

I totally just noticed this today myself!!!! I am down 30lbs and have a lot more to go so I'm scared what is going to happen then!! LOL

Annoys me because in 2005/2006 I lost 50lbs so that I could get a breast reduction (they were a 42F) and even loosing that weight my breasts didn't move but now that I am losing this weight they are moving and they are already small enough!! LOL

Tiff, does insurance cover the girls??? I know the doc can get the tummy thing pushed through due to rashes and things, but the girls???

I wear an A cup now down from a C and believe me I hate it too. I never did have big ones, but I am smaller now that I was in High School. I'm not going to pay for boobs though. I'd rather have a face lift. I've gone bra less most of my life every change I get, and that is one good thing. Now I can go without one even more. I have to wear one to work, but that's about it. Oh yeah, I wear a heavily padded one on dates.

Most insurance companies will not pay for breast implants without a medical necessity such as deformity or after other breast surgery.

Our insurance will cover breast implants, but I have to claim mental defect, and have to jump through major hoops and they may still not cover them. I know a few ladies that have been able to get them covered, but it takes some time. I do have extra skin under my arms, and I can claim some skin irritation under the skin so we'll just have to see what I can get covered.

Best of luck! I will be self pay I am sure.

You sound like me. I didnt have a reduction, but I wouldnt mind if the "gilrls" were to go down. I am more scared of my bottom going some where!

Tiffykins, let me know how that goes, I am planning to do the same as you and need ideas. I will be sleeved on the 17 of January and won’t be having PS until 2012 but I want to start getting everything in order.

A friend of mine just went with the rash all over idea and was able to get the abdominoplasty and Breast Lift paid for by the insurance.

Good Luck!!!

      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!!
