I'm scheduled for surgery on the 21st. I've always been big chested in 5th grade I was a D now I'm a 44F. My question is even though I have been big chested all my life will I lose a lot of my boob's? I would really care because they make my back hurt but I don't want to drastically go down. Experiences please?

I was a 40 DDD and now I am a 36D at goal and a normal BMI. I look great in clothes not so much naked. Back feels so much better and overall I look better. DDD at 5' 1" was not a sexy look.

It really depends on the person. I managed to keep my T&A, it is just much smaller and I am pretty droopy. I was a 44H. Now 32G. A lot of people lose quite a bit of fat in the breasts. Some people deflate, some people retain. It really... just depends. The only guarantee is that your band size will most certainly shrink.

Yeah, the boobs go. I've gone from 44DD to 38C so far. And let me tell you, they look really sad about it!

I'm hoping mine don't go. In college when I was thin, I was still a D. That being said, the first item I had to replace was bras! Go figure! I was in a 42DD. Hoping to get back to my old normal of 36D.

I was a 40DD and now I'm a 36C and I'm only down 60 pounds.

I have gone down 5 bra sizes and only one cup size but they look like droopy ears. Hence the breast lift in January. whohooooooo.

I'm not having surgery until June, but I am hoping my boobs get smaller. I am a 46DD and my lower back hurts so bad. I'm thinking its from the weight of them.

I guess this also depends on height - my size D boobs won't put strain on ny back at 5'10 - but I imagine they'd be awful at 5'4
