So funny this topic showed up today! I just saw a girlfriend I hadn't seen since before surgery, and the first thing she said was "Where're your boobs?" I am down to a DD from a DDD cup, but she made me unzip my sweater to prove they hadn't disappeared completely!

Lol, yeah, sad but true. Mine have gone south too. Already looking for a surgeon for a lift. Unfortunately, when they get smaller, the extra skin that was stretched with them doesn't disappear.

I'm still early but I hope that I don't lose too much because I'm a big c/ lil D cup so I don't have much anyways. I just want a little bit of cleavage left.

I didn't like the shape of my boobs pre-op so I'm pretty sure post-op I won't feel much differently. I hope to get a lift (possibly implants too depending on how deflated they get) once I lose all the weight and stabilize. And save money for it. I know with a lift I'll have scars. It sucks.

I keep reading about all of these woman talk about their boob sizes. I know they will get smaller in size but are you ladies working out and working out those pectoral muscles?

I work out 1-3 hours per day including lifting (pecs are nice and strong-- with floppy pancakes attached). I also wear compressions everyday and take good care of my skin.... If you have a miracle exercise to add to my regimen, PLEASE let us know! Have you found the secret and aren't sharing???

No ma'am. I'm only two weeks post op. Haven't gotten the okay yet to work out. I guess it depends on the size from beginning to end and how fast the weight comes off, everyone is different.

Unfortunately breast tissue doesn't contain muscle so you can't work it out. When you lose the fat that is also In there with the breast tissue you get deflation. All exercise can do is make the muscle underneath stronger but you will still have the slinkys attached

Oh god...I wouldn't change having done this. But the saggy deflated boobs are a little depressing. I had this conversation with my boyfriend yesterday. He confirmed that they are changing... but assured me that he "still really really likes them" ;):D:(:mellow: I know my insurance will pay for reconstruction. I'll save up for breast surgery. I want to look good in and out of my clothes.

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
