Stretch marks and boobs question



Recommended Posts

Do stretch marks go away? I've had them for about 5 years, some newer than others but my whole stomach is covered cause basically all my weight is in my tummy and boobs. Which brings me to the next question. I have DDD when you ladies lose weight do the boobs shrink? Or just become inflated flabby balloons...I really hope I won't have to wear a few bras to hold all the skin...

No they don't. But they get smaller as you lose weight. People who aren't even fat get them too so don't stress out about it. My husband has them and he has never been fat.

I don't know about stretch marks but I do know your boobs will get smaller and sag. I was a 44DD though I haven't brought a new bra yet. I know I'm much smaller maybe a 38D. Today makes 2 months sleeve for me

Unfortunately stretch marks don't go away, they do fade some but there will always be there. Just think of them as your "battle scars". Embrace them is my advice... most people do have them somewhere on their body. Good luck with your weight loss :)

I have been sleeved for a month. I have been using coco butter the type u use when your preg. It won't take them away but it had been helping them fade. The ones on my arms aren't as noticeable. And as you get smaller it helps keep the skin stay moisterized. Also I take 5000mg Biotin for my skin and hair. Hopefully this helps you. And my doc says drinking Water helps with skin to.

Tom Conti in Shirley Valentine calls them 'lines of life'. I like that.

You have stretch marks forever. My breasts are definitely low and deflated now, but I can still 'pour' them into a bra just fine. They are much more liquid rather than firm, but there are lots of women who have plastic surgery to increase breast firmness or to regain size after surgery. I won't be going that way because I will breastfeed when I have children.

Mine have gone from 44dd to 38c so far. It is nice to have the smaller bras but boy do they need some good support now! I guess my fat was holding them up, because they are very deflated! Lol. I'm doing a lot with weights like chest presses but not sure if it is helping!

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
