anyone have implants BEFORE getting sleeve?



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! I have breast implants but got them very young. Now that I've gained all the extra weight they're larger and of course saggier. I am very curious to see what happens after I lose the weight. Will they be the way they were before? Will they shrink a little but still be a bit saggy? Anyone who has lost the weight and who had implants before surgery please let me know!

I have lost almost 60 pounds and they have shrunk some but haven't sagged much. I am hoping they will be about the same as before I gained all the extra weight. If not, I will get a revision. Good luck to you!!

I must say I am in the same boat as you, oh the things I did when I was Young and Hot. :o Unfortunately I am a recovery room Nurse and I have recovered a lot of plastic cases involving weight loss and post baby body makeovers. It is Very Very Very common that the breast will continue south with the weight loss. I plan on having a breast lift (mastopexy) with implant exchange once my weight has stabilized. You never know you could be one of the lucky ones that it's not too bad. All the best to you. :)

I've had my implants for 17 years and have lost approx. 80lbs with my VSG. They are not real bad but bad enough that I will be having a lift and new implants soon. If my implants weren't so old I would not have a lift as I don't think they look bad but since they are old...why not get the lift done now while I can still enjoy them?! ;)

Its really going to be different for everyone. You'll just have to wait and see how yours end up.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
