I was a 44DD with an extender, which probably means a 46DD (

I couldnt bring myself to buy an even bigger bra!) when I had my surgery, I am down 38 pounds and am now at a 42DD w/out extender. I tried on a D and it still doesn't fit :sneaky:

i have went from a 42d to a 38c. and it is prolly more like a b cup but when i tried one on i had some spillage issues that just didnt look right so i stuck with a c. but its kinda too big. i think i will look into those 1/2 size bras i saw advertised.

my chest is so small now! i figured i would lose some in my boobs but not like this! it is really starting to bother me, i think i look funny!

Skinny Mike...I know a young man who had zero body fat...he is a professional dancer/performer...almost too skinny...

He had man boobs so he had plastics done! It is a very delicate procedure...

He told me it is heredity and something like 80% of the male population have the gene for it...It just doesn't always "show up" dpending on BMI etc...

So, it bothered him being that as a dancer you may have costumes that require to be shirt less...

He is happy with the result...

Good Luck!

I got bigger. I went from a 46 C to a 36D. I miss my C cup, I always felt that a C cup was perfect, its big but not too big. But I guess I have to get use to a D cup. I got measured at victoria's secret and I didn't believe her, I went home and measured myself again and it was true. I kinda knew it was coming since I was spilling out of all my 38C bras but its still a surprise.

Every other time in my life when I have lost weight (and that is many times) I always lost in my boobs first. They would shrivel right up. At my normal weight I used to wear a 34 B. At the time I was banded I wore a 42 DD. Currently I'm in a 38 D and it's to loose around the ribs, but the cups still fit fine. This is the first time I've ever retained my cup size with a big weight loss. Personally, I would rather be a 34 B again. I was comfortable with that. My husband would disagree, of course, but I prefer to have less to carry around.

I went from a 44dd to a 38c and I can fit some 36c's. I could probably go smaller but the I need room for the extra skin.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
