I will get a panniculectomy and I want my insurance to cover it. I've started documenting my problems with a dermatologist and my PCP already. I will never get a boob job and if I ever did change my mind, I would get a reduction of the extra skin and skip the implants. As it is now, I can stuff them in a bra and they look fine. I like the post where someone called them "Ethiopianesque." They do remind me of old National Geographic magazines from the 50s. Well so be it. What gross is that flap skirt. I will go through that pain, but no one is cutting on the ta-tas. Maybe if I were going from a DDD to a B, but not a smaller D to a B.

Do your boobs hang low?

Do they wobble to and fro?

Can you tie 'em in a knot?

Can you tie 'em in a bow?

Can you throw 'em o'er your shoulder

Like a continental soldier

Do your boobs hang low?

Got to love my husband. He doesn't mind the skin and he didn't even mind the fat -- only that I was unhealthy.

My SO is also supportive says they are going to where they naturally would be without the fat. The supportive nature is so comforting and helps while I am changing so fast.... Now how do I get the trash out lol

I went for a 50DD to a 48C I might get a lift someday, or maybe just the Tummy Tuck.< /p>

I went from a 42DD to currently a 36 C and am happy when dressed LOL I don't like any of my body naked though! I would be happy to stay a C and believe I probably will. I am 4'11'' and agree - they get in the way when you are short! I just bought this bra today at Kohl's and it really pushes up without the sleezy cleevage thing going on!

To each their own I say. I will get everything done because why not? My whole life I've been big. Why can't I feel sexy on the inside and outside? I want to look in the mirror and think I'm HOT. And if large, perky breasts are what will help me archive that, that's what I will do.

I get the sleezy cleevage thing when I wear sports bras LOL! I think that with all the skin I will need a C cup to hold it all. Who knows. Glad It didn't get a tattoo on the ta-tas. I would look kinda funny now.

honestly... ive always had large boobs.. when i started the surgery i was a 42DDD now im a 38DD/36DDD ... yea they have deflated just a little bit, but the ladies are still in tact. thankfully.. and i have another 16 lbs to go.. I am going to look into augmentation just to get the lift back, but doesnt really look like they are gonna go down much further which is nice to know.

I was sleeved 2/20/12 and I have lost 63 lbs in 12 weeks...I started as a 42DDD, now I am a loose 40DD, because that's the smallest bra I own. I honestly believe I could easily wear a 38DD, but I'm desperately trying to not buy new bras until I hit 75 lbs down because of the expense. The girls are much smaller, but I've had them since I was 12 and my back & shoulders are glad to see the extra weight go! I don't want implants, but after 4 kids I definately plan on a lift & reduction! I want pretty, small, perky boobies that don't make my back & shoulders hurt! (And that will look cute in my bellydancing costumes!) 

Yes, not having a tat on the girls is for sure a plus at this point. A rose would absolutely be loong stemmed and a horse would look like a bushy tailed giraffe..LOL.

      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.
