So I've read on how to manage the skin issue, I'm only 26 almost 27 so my skin should have some good elasticity and snap back with a strict regime of toning starting as soon as possible with heavy lotion, and wraps, and hydration etc...but personal question...How did everyone's breasts do after this?

I've always had large boobs even when I was "slimmer" (read 215 lbs) so I'm a little worried tha they will completely disappear.

Is anyone willing to share their stories of their post op bodies?

I'm just looking forward to being super healthy and able to run and play with my nephews and my future kids one day without being exhausted after 5 minutes, but I need to know if I should start saving now, lol. :)

This is definitely a concern of mine as well. I had a cuzzin who had the Sleeve about two years ago, she was 320llbs and a DDD now she sits at 160 llbs, and a ROUND C! I will be ok with that, any smaller, i too will be saving my pennies :-)

I can live with that as well! Just don't want some droopy A's!

I'm 26. No children. My highest weight was 245. My current weight is 129.

I workout a disgusting amount, keep hydrated, exfoliate, moisturize, all that jazz... I look totally hot in clothing. Naked, I look like an 80 year old. I have batwings, saggyness on the belly, inner thighs, and under my armpits on my sides. The girls... Well let's say I just roll them up and tuck those little things away for now.

Currently saving the cash for plastics. :)

I'm 26 as well with no children. Already down almost 60lbs and the boobies are already not looking so great. They are still a full 38DD... but NOT perky. No fullness on top, saggy... soooo sad! I have another 70lbs to lose and I have no hope for them.

I don't think this has to do with age- this has to do with winning the genetic lottery!

I am 24 no children and I went from a 50DDD to a 46C major difference for me and still adjusting to it. I am down 100 pounds from when I decided to do something about my weight and 69 pounds down from surgery. My boobs are saggy and very visible with the loose skin. I have 45 more pounds to loose to be at my goal and I don't want to loose more in the boobage...:( I cried when I went down to a C cause they look not so great.

At my largest, 270 pounds, I was a 42h after losing 100lbs I am currently a 32DDD and can never find the right bra. Thus, the 1 and only reason why i wish I could still shop at Lane Byrant. When people asked me when would I stop losing weight, I said when I can buy a $12 bra at Walmart. But im still paying 60 bucks at victoria secret with muffin top in every bra I wear. With out a bra, standing up, my boobs look better, they are not perky though. Now if I bend over or have poor posture and im wearing a bra things look a little deflated its hard to explain. Laying down bra less the girls like to snuggle in my armpits. Basically I was very full up top and now my boobs are a little dense in that area.

I already figured there was no hope for mine, they are already sad and have been sad for as long as I can remember. They are rittled with stretch marks and I can only expect they'll look like deflated ballons after the weight loss. But I would rather deflated boobs that I can stuff into a nice bra then looking like a hot air ballon that sticks out like a sore thumb. ^_^

I'm a little worried about mine...they are fairly perky D's and I haven't seen a weight related change to them. I'll be the same weight for months and then *boop* half cup bigger.... But out of all my friends I've always been the small boob girl :(

I don't want small boobs again DX

Cassandra the muffin top is because your cup size is too small.

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
