What did your breast's do?



Recommended Posts

I just went in for another fitting at VS this past week. My current bra(s) which I got from a fitting in June were 34 DD (hey, rolling them up takes up space I guess). They were essentially false advertising. I could stuff stocks in the empty gaps.

So even though I wasn't thrilled about having to buy new ones, I headed in. I'm now a 34 C. My weight hasn't changed a lot since June (down maybe 10lbs) But what I did lose I guess was from the girls.

The girl doing the fitting called me petit. She said "this style will look great on you, you're so petit". Well, I'm sure it was meant as a compliment, but if she saw what my boobs looked like without the bra on, oh boy. Lol. That's right...push'em up and pad'em :-)

I like that "false advertising" lol. I am down quite a bit of sizes and I have very saggy breast tissue. My band size is small a 32 but the breast fat that has to be scooped up in a bra is a H cup...go figure. I don't know about breast augmentation but my back hurts and it's a sad sight.

If your back hurts and you have gone to the doctor about it, as long as there is documentation....you might be able to get a breast reduction done and your insurance could foot the bill.

@@Dream4tc I have my one year surgical follow-up next month and I will discuss inform my surgeon about this issue. There are so many things involved in breast augmentation as well that I may not be ready for right now i.e. an additional surgery and subsequent change to my body. But still this may be a discussion to have. In the mean time and $170 later I have new bras and some support. ????

Well, I have to share my experience from this weekend here. You'll all appreciate it! I've gone from a 50D to a 40B (so far) and I bought a cute bra from Lane Bryant that has pockets inside to hold a little plastic air balloon to help push the girls up and together. I had the bright idea to use the little balloons in another bra Saturday. It never entered my mind that they wouldn't stay where they were put! Needless to say, a couple of hours after I left the house I felt something puffy around my waistband! Luckily I had tucked my shirt into my jeans! I never even felt it moving!! #weremycheeksred!

I was hoping that since I'm only 22 I wouldn't experience a lot of extra/sagging skin, especially my boobs (I didn't want granny boobs at 22 haha). My surgeon believed that since I'm young my skin would bounce back pretty well........well.....that didn't happen.

I'm about 7 months post-op and while I only went from a 36/38C to a 34C when I'm not wearing a bra you wouldn't guess that I'm 22 haha. They defintely started sagging a lot more then I/my doctors have inticpated.

But you have to be realistic, when you loose 100+ pounds in such a short amount of time things aren't going to be all that cute. I have to remind myself all the time when I'm looking at my extra/sagging skin where I was just 7 months ago. While it has been hard to cope with the extra skin I know I am SOOOOOO much happier and healthier then before :)

Don't give up yet! For about six months after I stopped losing my skin kept tightening up. I'm 46 so it didn't snap nearly all the way back, but at a year and a half out it was MUCH better. Give it a chance!

I am having surgery next week. I sort of feel like sagging is inevitable... (I'm 41) I've talked to my hubbie about how things might change... And I'm keeping the lift/augmentation door open!!!

I have set up a savings account that I add to every paycheck, so when all is said & done, my plastic surgery money is sitting there, ready to use! And, if things go better than anticipated, and I decide I don't need any plastic surgery... I'll have a lot of fun buying expensive investment clothes! ????

I went from a Lane Bryant size 42DDD to a Victoria's Secret size 34DD. I'm way smaller than I was look a little 'deflated' but I'm totally ok with that. Love wearing cute bras and panties from VS:)

Well I guess there are perks to small boobs! At 5'10 being barely a B has always been annoying....until now! I have gone from a 42 B to a 36 B(-76 lbs, 70 to go) and they are still in the same spot and actually look bigger since everything else is smaller ????

I've went from a 40DD down to a 34C :( They are super saggy and no fullness to them at all. Definitely gonna need a lift and implants when done losing.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      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! 😞
