So I have posted my tummy and horrific eye bags and now for the boobs

I cant tell you how happy I am with the result. I am posting with Viamin E cream on the scars and nipples as I dont know how to cover nipples on photos. I am a complete tenchnaphobe. There are a couple of dressings on which will be removed on Thursday this week.. whooot whoot

Before

Three weeks out from surgery

At least now when I take my bra off my boobs don't hit the floor lol

My surgeon has suggested that I get a boob lift and implants. I not sure if I should get the implants. What is everyone opinion on this?

Kate - how do you compare surgeries from a pain and recovery perspective?

I met with the ps two weeks ago. I'm waiting to hear if insurance will cover mine. I lost 87lbs and went from a 36j/k to a 32HH - so smaller to be sure but I'm still all boobs. [emoji30]

It depends what outcome you want. What size are you now, what size do you want to be?

Both have been fine. I have some necrosis but the hospital have been great and are dealing with it at the moment. I had quite a lot done at once, that and my age meant that I didn't bounch back as easy as if I were in my 20's.

Ouch! Hope you get the go ahead if thats what you want.

All the surgeons seem to think I would only be happy with implants I did not want the hassle or the expense of having to replace them every 6 to 10 years. Mine have been reconstructed I went from an F to a B or C cup. Find a PS that listens to you.

This is what I'm afraid of, still being big after a loss. I am a 40H (although I'm sure I could go higher since my bras are a bit snug now). I'd love to be a C or D. Had enough of ginormous boobs.

Same here. Once I met with the surgeon I am so ready to just do this. Ideally I'd be finished and recovery by the first part of April. My insurance usually takes about three weeks for approval. I sure hope I can get it done.

I was told that if you're happy with the size you are when wearing a bra (boobs all propped up) then you only need a lift (they rearrange your own tissue), if you think they are too small in a bra... then you need implants.


My time is NOW!

My surgeon said that to me too ShineyLady. I like the fact its still me, just tidied up a lot lol

How long after you reach goal do you have to wait to get your boobs done? I'm currently a 42i and cannot wait to have these puppies done. Some plastic surgeons did a presentation about post-WLS procedures at a support group and they said something about patients having to stabilize at goal for a while (a year? I can't recall what they said). It seemed like you first needed to prove that you wouldn't gain the weight back

PS have different standards. I It was important to me to be at goal for a bit for results
