I was curious to see if any one else is having this issue. Naturally, my breasts go up and down in size with weight loss and gain. I was banded on 5/22/07. I am down 28lbs in that time. One thing I have noticed though, is that one girl is shrinking a whole lot faster than her sister. My right has always been a hair bigger than my left, but now it is starting to get noticable. I always thought I would need a Tummy Tuck after I reach goal, but now I am wondering if I need to think about a breast lift in order to get them back to matching pair.

Anyone else have experience with this? Kat

I hate to say it, but I have noticed the same thing. My left was always a hair bigger, and I notice it more now. Ah well... what can we do?

One side of your body will never match the other side. Your right foot might be a bit bigger than your left, or your left ear may not be the same size as your right ear.

It would seem reasonable that with weight loss some things can be more obvious. If you go through plastic surgeon's before and after photos you'll see this quite a bit. Some people it's drastic, one breast is an "A" and the other is a "C".

I had a considerable difference between the two; at least a full cup size. I've lost 22 pounds now and the visual difference is becoming much less. When I was in high school it wasn't noticeable through clothing back when I was thin.

I'm certain I will need a lift and pretty sure I'm going to want a tuck (more than a need on that one). DH is just looking at $$ and says I'm perfect the way I am :0) I'm really hoping he'll want a new motocycle around that time and I can work a deal!!

Mine had always been uneven. I used to be a C on the left and a large D on the right. After my weight loss I went to an A on the left and a C on the right. It was pretty bad. I had them replaced a couple months ago and could not be happier with them. I did want a Tummy Tuck later on down the road. But since I have had my boob job I think I can live with my tummy the way it is. I am now a full 40 D and I love it!

Sure thing, right one much bigger than left. I will need breast work for sure when this is all done.

Yes, i've found its become more noticeable. I thought sag wise my breasts were beyond help (i've breastfed 3 kids for over 6 years in total) but the smaller one (the left is about 1/2 cup size smaller than the right) has shrunk to the point where my nipple now points upwards like its meant to instead of hanging down).

its still only a half a cup size (if that) difference between the two but now they look seriously weird as the nipples point in markedly different directions. I will have this fixed, just because but not till I'm working again in a year or two.

When I'm clothed you cant tell unless you look very hard but I'm paranoid about things like walking from the heat outside into a freezing shopping centre lol. Men might think headlights on is sexy look but for it to work it really is probably best to have both nipples pointing the same way :)

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
