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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞
