What did your breast's do?



Recommended Posts

Now I'm starting to get worried I haven't worried more about my boobs after surgery. 40 DDD right now. They aren't perky but they're pretty nice. I am going to stalk the plastics section now. I've heard push-ups and planking helps. Has anyone had luck with exercising their pecs for perkiness?

No. Did tons of yoga and planking and all that. I have great muscle tone and low body fat, but it doesn't help retain skin tone or breast tissue and you can't decide where the fat disappears from.

My friend that lost about 80 lbs swears by push-ups for perkiness. I have lost 83 lbs and gone from a DDD to a DD. I am about to start focusing on weight training and push-ups will def be in my regimen. Mine aren't that perky but they don't look horrible. They're big and have been big for a long time. I'm gonna try the pectorals exercises and go from there. Good luck!

Hi All !

I'm scheduled to have RNY on the 17th of June. I am 339, 5'4", 48. I look like the Michelin Man, lots of folds. Now my breasts already hang very low, point south and they're large. They get in the way of my arms as they seem to fall to the side of me. I HATE them, always have.

Some time after RNY, how do your breasts take the weight loss? Do some just fill back up? Do some go completely flat? Do some shrink and look perky? What happens to your breasts long after surgery?

Mine were soooooooooo big before sx'44DDD After the weight loss I was just normal big; 36DD...and then in 2013 I got breast cancer and had to have them both removed. My plastic surgeon reconstructed them, and I will never forget the day in her office when she asked me (prior to sx) would I like to go a little smaller. YIPEE..Yes I would. She made me a C cup. Come to think of it I will also never forget the stricken look on my hubbies face either when she asked that question and said YES. All my life they made me look fat even when I wasn't that fat yet..and never could wear a button down shirt. The breast cancer was very scary but I am so happy today to have perky average boobies.

Mine actually didn't get that much smaller. I was a 44C/D before. Now I'm a full D cup in a 36/38 band.

Just saw this--

44DDD now 36 DD. Which is where I was 10 years ago (pre-obesity) Not flat, just need some good 'ok firming up. Either they get tighter thru exercise, or these babies are getting a lift! Either way, I'm good with it.

Just found this thread and thought I'd chime in because I know of a fix that I swear by and LOVE. There is a company called Bravo Bra Pads (www.bravobrapads.com) and they make inserts that go into your bra and I SWEAR BY THESE THINGS! I wear them every day. They fill out your bra and perk up the girls. And they are SUPER afforable at only about $15 a pair. I've had mine for over a year and a half and they are still in amazing shape through daily wear and washes.

Also, just as a tip: they're giving away a $25 Gift Certificate on the radio show this Friday night to a lucky caller. :) If you listen to the show this Friday (www.backstagepassradio.com) at 7pm PST when Carnie Wilson is on (she was sick last week, so she's going to be on this week), you can call in and win some to try!

But honestly, either way, get yourself some of these. I promise you will thank me. :)

      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!
