I have two friends who had the bypass; they both say they have to roll up the boobs and put in the bra!

Your boobs are mostly fat.

OMG I have been saying that... just roll them up and stuff in the bra! Family finds it funny. Daughter wants me to be able to jump on trampoline with her. I tell her when I am within weight limits... but then I have to be carefull not to knock myself out with my "skin skirt"

I wonder if there is any weight training that we can do to maybe "pump" the girls up lol

My surgery is scheduled for may 31 and after reading all of these post I'm gonna talk to my trainer and get him working on a Boob program haha

I have been a DD since I was 15 regardless if I was 135lbs or 300lbs. Now, I'm down Almost a 100lbs and they are so gross. They look like deflated balloons. My boobs were always my 'good feature'. Not any more.

I will be buying new ones too.

I'm with you!! I call mine my pancakes or my fried eggs. They are so gross!! I used to be a 40H and I am down to a 38D and need to go bra shopping ASAP because the D cup is sagging in on my saggy lady lumps. I think the only option is implants...not sure I want to go there. We shall see!!

I have lost in my legs, feet hands and yes boobs. Mine are flat and worst of all they are pointing to the ground!!!! I was a 50DDD and am now a 46DD. I think bras are going to be a huge expense. I know that getting excess skin off my arms and then my boobs, followed by skin skirt area are what I am hoping to take care of when done losing. I think I need a winning lottery ticket!!! LOL

I also am not losing much in my tummy or belly area. :(

I love you ladies sense of humor. I have not had my surgery yet but I am also concerned about my boobs. I loss 25 lbs last year and my significant other told me my chest looked flat. Im in a 38D now but I dont want to be smaller than a C cup. I guess the boobs have to go on my list of things to plan for.

My bewbs are sooo ethiopianesque! Def gonna need some surgery there .my biggest issue there is I have developed a fold that is under my arm as well...ugh...

Did have a friend who mention that just a lift would leave my bewbs at about a small b- and hubby looked so sad! I may end up with silicone as well.

Running and other things is just the reason I DON'T want the melons. They get in the way and a B is a decent handful ;-)

For me it's my boobs and my thighs..40 pounds and they are already droopy . I wonder if I will need Lipo. I have another 70 to lose so I'm trying to wait and see.

You can run with boobs guys. Just gotta have a really good bra. I played basketball and soccer in high school and had D's then.

I'm a 46h so far I'm not down a cup size but I can fasten the back strap to the tightest notch instead of the first one. I've lost about 50lbs included when I started my pre op diet March 23rd. (Sleeve done may 9th). I have talked to a trainer that chest exercise can help tighten skin. I actually prefer smaller boobs, I just want perky ones that I don't have to special order bras

I'm was a 38 DD before surgery, currently a 34DD. I'm one of those that no matter what I weigh, they stay. I wouldn't mind if they went down to a regular D, but I guess Im in the minority on that! LOL!!

I started out a 44H & they were still pouring over the top & sides. Now they fit into the cups nicely, BUT they are like tube socks now :( and my hubby said "oh well, their perkiness was an anomaly to begin with.after breastfeeding 4 kids" as of its no biggie. He is really not a fan of fake boobs so he doesn't want me tp get them, but I already told him tough !! Saline, here I come!

      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.
