I lost about 90 pounds 10 years ago and practically ran to the plastic surgeon to have a breast reduction and lift. It was the BEST thing I ever did for myself (besides lose the weight). They looked absolutely BEAUTIFUL until I gained all of my weight back and more (they still look okay!). When I lose the weight again, I'd definitely consider having them re-lifted! :)

I'm the same way! I lost about 90 lbs and yep... I got a lift and implants them gained that back PLUS! They still look awesome. I'm only 2 weeks post op from a revision but I'm worried! THAT was NOT a fun surgery. It's been about ten years for me as well soooo I know some type of plastics will be in my future. So glad I'm not the only who did this! ????

@ NO! You're not the only one who has done that... while mine don't look as good as they looked 10 years ago, they still look decent!

My surgery was very easy -- my sister was with me for a week and I didn't have to lift an arm. Virtually no pain either.

I am still early in this game so I don't know about plastics... but, as mentioned, I'd definitely consider a re-lift!!

@@SunflowerGal Mine was the first surgery I had ever had and I think I had a crappy anesthesiologist. Waking up was horrid. I was sore after but it was the waking up that was awful! So when I had the lapband surgery I was terrified to wake up. It was cake! (Cake... Hehee). It was sooo easy. With this surgery I again was nervous because it was the band coming out, plus the bypass. It too was cake!! Lol!

Sooo I'll be going to a different place for the phase 2 projects! I just turned 46 but they still look good so I'm hangin on! I think the tummy would be my next work of art. My surgery was self pay. Ugh. Sooo... It will be a few years before I put on the finishing touches so to speak. Fun to connect with you! I'm 2 weeks post op but feel free to ask questions. I'm a fountain of information! Lol! Best of luck on your next stage!!

Along the subject of boobs :) How quickly do the boobs shrink? Will I be having to buy new bras all the time? Bras can be kinda pricey, especially if you have big jugs lol) Will I have to get a new bra every few weeks?

My surgery is this month, so I am thinking about clothes after surgery.

I went from a 42C to a 36B in less than 5 months. They are still shrinking and I am NOT happy about that, seen as I got a breast reduction 4 years ago! I've had to throw away some pretty nice VS bras as a result.

I went from busting out of a 44DDD to a 36DDD. I lost a LOT more than I thought I would but I guess it makes sense since my mom and sister are both 34DD's. I will need a breast lift but I thought I needed one even before surgery. I actually wear my bra to bed so they don't flop all over the place.

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
