I started out somewhere between a 40g in sports bras and 40-42k in goddess everyday bras. Today I wear. 36j in everyday bras and 36g in wacoal underwire sports bras. My girls have been with me since I was 10--I missed the whole training bra stage. They aren't going anywhere.

I just got fitted for the wacoal sports bra this weekend. I pay good money to lock and load these girls.

Sorry, I am at work and for whatever reason I can't read but the first few posts - I am lucky I can read any - most stuff is blocked.

In re: bewbs...but not just bewbs, the saging arms, te lateral small folds on the back just below the arms, etc...and unfortunately belly and legs, etc.

I have heard alot of people say they will not have plastics but I absolutely plan to because I am actually really concerned how I would maintian those areas as I got older and goodnes forbid bedridden or needed assistance. I may very well focus on the surgeries intended to modify the folds only, as opposed to "body revision".

As far as bewbs specifically my surgery will be extensive and painful. I dread it so much, I don't know how I plan on talking myself into that waiting room, lol.

Yes ladies if you had big boobs before you will surely lose a lot of it. Because we weight loss is evenly distributed throughout the body.

I know I'm a man and all but I kno several women who also have double and triple d's that ended up in b and c cups.

When I was a skinny girl in 2001 I weighed 115. My boobs were still good size 34 DDD (full size cup). 5 months after surgery the cup size is the same but as everyone states they are headed south. I buy the good bras "Wacoal" from Macy's. Now I am in a 38G. Before surgery 44G.

I too will consider a lift after all the weight loss is done and I am maintaining.

I, unforunately, was not blessed with large boobs. As I grew in size, so did they so I kind of expected it to work the same in reverse, and it definitely has. At my biggest I was a 44DD, I'm down to about a 40 C and I have a WAYS to go yet..... *sigh*

At my biggest I was about a 44 B/C, so big band size, rather small boobs to begin with. And they have gotten much much smaller very quickly. I am down about 87 pounds since my surgery in December, and I joke with people that 20 of that was my boobs. I am down to wearing a 38/40 B and the B cup is almost getting big. One of my male friends actually inducted me into the itty bitty titty club the other day. Womp Womp :(

I have definitely shrunk! I expect to be a B cup down from a 40D. They already resemble tube socks, but no WAY are they being cut on!

Catracks lol @ "tube socks"!!

I've had really big boobs my whole life...I wore a c cup when I was 11 & a DDD in high school when I weighed about 140. Now they're crazy huge....a K & unlike most here I totally don't want to lose much of them...my husband would cry! That said I'm down about 40 lbs & while they don't look different, they feel different. Kind of mushy :( They are already pointed south from breastfeeding 4 kids so I am totally planning on a lift. I want a whole body tuck when its all said & done!!

Awww Jimmy' date=' I thought you were going to make some comments about man boobs!!! :lol:[/quote']

Lol, well I can do the same. Due to the testosterone levels men have. When we lose weight man boobs are reduced severely they prolly drop down to A-cups lol... Also this drastic change has a lot to do with weightlifting activity, nutrition and effort

There u go :)

I've always had smaller boobs, like 38b...sucky huh? But my boobs are still always the first place I lose. Down to a 36a now. Hope the rest of my body catches up soon!

I started at a 44D and I am only halfway there and already down to a 38D. I will probably end up negative A by the time all is said and done. The good thing is my back pain is completely gone :)

When I was 19 I had a breast reduction to a B/C cup and loved how small they were. Now I'm a large D and I really, really, really, really hope that they'll go back to the B/C range (I prefer a size b, actually). I also hope that the 'lift' I got 10 years ago will somehow keep lifting as the weight comes off.....Eh, even if it doesn't I'll wear super sexy bras and they would have gotten saggy eventually anyway.

I'm not worried about the 'ladies' but what I would like is to see if I have hips. I've always carried weight in my middle and it'll be nice to see if I actually have a waist...

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
