Point of order. I love this thread! :)

Kendisue, I would be curious. In a blind study (I didnt know the cc) I picked 331(or 339, don't recall, something like that).

First time I picked them they were second smallest of the set. Next time they were the largest in the set. I theorize I will be a D, but bra sizing is so crazy.

my surgery is 3 weeks away...I am going to call and ask if I can bring them home to try on. I think i would like to try with a unlined bra, not a sports bra.

I asked the surgery coordinator at work who said 330 is good if you are already a smallish C and want to become a Mid-D (whatever will look proportional to the rest of your body). But the main thing is how you feel when trying on the sizes. Definitely a good idea to take the samples home and test them out, if you can.

BTW: I was a 40/42 E & now 36DD. When I reach my goal I will definitely be looking into a lift. (Shhh don't tell my husband. He has a thing about plastics which is hilarious considering where I work). :D

I'm still wearing a C cup. Thanks to my stomach getting smaller, my boobs look SO much BIGGER. I went from a 48/50 C to a comfortable 44 C. Granted, I have never been "professionally" measured for a bra, so maybe I was never wearing the right size. I kind of feel like they look like tennis balls hanging in sweat socks, just that they roll up to fit nicely in the bra. :blink:

CowgirlJane-

I had implants about 10 years ago and was scared I went too big and actually called my Dr. to say I wanted a smaller size and the nurse told me she had never had anyone regret going bigger only going smaller ... I can't really remember how many cc's I went with (i think 750) but my Dr. did tell me she over filled mine to fit my frame ... It's a hard decision ... But I love my big boobs :) hope they stay the same after my sleeve surgery Thursday! Good luck on making your decision :)

Thanks for the info. If I lift my boob into the right location I measure a C. It is all skin of course so it is very hard to guess how I will measure once implanted. I will be very happy if I wind up in the full C to D range. When I Tried them on I felt like I wouldn't go bigger...doc said they will look slightly smaller once implanted so I think just right...

105lb lost with another 25lb to go until goal (am now 9 1/2 months post sleeve) and my girls are shrinking though still quite big (in a way good I guess LOL). I used to be a 42DD/DDD and when last fitted, I was a 38G and now I think I'm less, so need to get remeasured. I'm guessing I am now probably a 36DD if not less?

Mine aren't getting any smaller with 45# loss. They are just melting! I was fitted last week and only went down an inch in band but same cup size. So they are just trying to reach the floor! Grrrr

Oh no you mean I could shrink a cup size!!! I'm already a B cup :( I can't go any smaller lol!!!!

I have lost 34 pounds since my surgery, boobs havent gone anywhere still in same cup size of DD I was wearing 38 now i am a 34.. Hoping they go down at least to a nice D... I wouldn't like my body to look unproportioned :unsure: ... but we'll see boobs always do whatever they want to do.... <_<

I'm terrified of losing my boobs my surgery is next month I wear a 38 m and love my boobs I don't know what I would do if I lost them

I'm thinking you might lose some if they're an m. A British show about breasts said that cup size D ( I think it was d) was the equivalent to two 5 lb of sugar. They put small breasted women in this bra and put sticking filled w sugar in them. They complained of back pain and awkward balance. They also had to get used to the looks:) I'm a 36 f and I love the girls.
