Has anyone on here had the VSG after having breast cancer? I have had breast cancer, chemo, mastectomy, and reconstruction. I started taking a hormone therapy medication afterward and gained weight. Now I can't seem to get the weight off, so I have scheduled my VSG for April 8th. My plastic surgeon didn't do a very good job on my new boobs, so now with the extra weight they even look worse. I am hoping to lose my extra weight and have my boobs redone.

I was just wondering if anyone else has any of the same problems? Jen

First of all can I say well done you for deciding on the sleeve after everything you've been through!

I know its not comparable to your situation but I just thought I would mention I've had breast surgery (reduction-for medical reasons) about 8 years ago. After that I had a 3rd child ,breast fed, put on loads of weight, had my sleeve almost 8 months ago and lost quite a lot of weight in the last year (about 65lbs) Needless to say my boobs are a mess, deflated, saggy, not a nice sight. I plan to have them done in december when I get my TT done, seeing as I've done all the hard work I might as well get everything sorted out!

Good luck and keep us posted!

Hi Jen Jen -- there is a poster on Thinner Times called "shiver", she is a VSG and a breast cancer survivor. She is also awesome, you should PM her on there.

thanks for the support and let me know how your boobs turn out. And congrats on all the weightloss.
