Onow by next year I will need some type of breast surgery. I am a DD, but am losing volume and gravity taking its toll already. I have seen and heard horror stories. My sleevevsurgeon said wait a full year and there are many tecniques. He said most have a reduction with a small implant vs a lift.

Ideas and experiences are greatly appreciated! I am in SE La. My Sleeve surgeon was Dr. Mark Dominguez partner of Dr. Ordyne at Northlake Surgical with St. Tammamy Hospital in Covington, La. He is FABULOUS. Thanks!

Eeeek! I shudder to think of what will come of "the girls"!!!!! =:o

I live in South Louisiana. I am currently the same size as you and looking in to reduction and lift, for when it's time. I have a ways to go as I have not been "sleeved"yet. ~21 days to go. Nervous and excited, all at the same time!

Best of luck to you on your journey.

JaneDeaux,

Good luck to you. Into week 3 and this has actually been easy but I follow the post op instructions to the letter. I can see if people over consume or consume too fast, how they would feel sick. It is amazing not to crave food. I am free! Soon you will be too if that is an issue for you.

My girls will have to wait a year post op, but that is ok. In the meantime, will research.

Geaux Tigers!

Courage! We're all different, so you may lose a lot of mass, but I started a 44D and now I'm a 36D. The band kept getting smaller but the cup stayed filled. However, I must admit they sit lower than before but thankfully, are still pointed forward. A good bra makes my boobs look fantastic, so I'm not planning on any breast surgery.

That is great! So true, a really good bra makes a difference! I bought one new one and it helped a lot, but soon that one will be too big, and fortunately I kept some nice ones from a few years ago that I can almost get back into. Want to save my money bc I can see I will need to buy clothes during this process. When I get to goal, I will splurge!

I had a breast reduction at 16 from a 36I (Yes I) down to a 36 C. Then I gained a ton of weight and went back up to a 40DD. Then I lost 40 lbs, and went down to a 36D. Then I gained it all back plus some and ended up a 40DDD. Through it all, the girls have been amazing. I'm hoping I can end up a 36D again, but I so understand the fear. I really don't want another breast surgery. I'm just hoping that they will hold up so well this time I'm almost half way to goal, and so far, so good.

How are you doing after a few years with sleeve now? I'd really love to hear more about Dr Dominguez.

      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!!
