Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

I guess I just didnt' realize just HOW SAGGY and gross my boobs were going to get. I've been a double D for so long and I was so excited to go to a C as I lost weight. I still have a ways to go on the weightloss, and I swear a couple weeks ago they just deflated and went flat. Now they are just a couple of flat sacks and my nipples point straight to the ground. I refuse to look at myself in the bathroom mirror now after I get out of the shower. I made myself look at them last night and just started bawling like a big baby. At least when I was fat they were big and full, now they look just awful, like rocks in socks. Anyone on here who has had a lift and implant please post or PM me and tell me about your experience. I know I'm going to have this done when I'm at goal, how do I cope until then, I still have at least six months and I'm getting really depressed over this. My boobs were always the one thing I loved about my body and now I hate them. Has anyone else gone thru this and has surgery and ended up loving them again?

I'm having a lift in March. Trying to decide if I will have the augementation also. Lifting is a big improvement over the down and out that they are now, but lifting doesn't add fullness to the top of the breast. Trying to decide if I will be happy with just that. You should go check out some other sites that talk about breast surgery. One good site is: www.makemeheal.com. If you google breast augmentation, I'm sure you'll find a lot of sites. Good luck! Oh, meanwhile, go to Victoria Secret or a really good department store and get fitted for some bras that will lift you up and have extra padding in the bottom to give you a fuller look!

It's nice to know someone else feels my pain ;)

You'll be getting your done before I get mine done, please let me know how it goes. Good idea on the bra Kary, I think I will make a trip to the mall this weekend and get a few bras to uplift my spirits (among other things) lol

VS, full coverage, shaper..... is a god send (it takes all my breast tissue and puts it out there) LOL.... ones with uplift have padding in the bottom and tend to push me out the top.

I'm going to have a lift also. I had DD's, which have remained DD's - went up to an E at one point as back size went down. Its only in the last few kgs that they've shrunk at all, now I'm a D on one side, DD on the other, lol!

I was told by one surgeon that to fill out the sad, stretchmarked skin on the tops of them I'd need implants. Well implants are not my scene, no way would I put them in my chest. But I was very disappointed becuase what I hate is not the sagginess, they look fine in a bra, but the fact that when they're supported, pushed together, there's all this disgusting, flabby, flaccid skin on the top, its all wobbly and horrid so that any push up type or balconnette type bra that creates cleavage with any low cut top is a no no for me, but I can flash an expanse of skin in a normal bra.

But since then two surgeons have told me that's rubbish, most likely the first was trying to con me out of money, grrrr. They reckon they'll look absolutely great lifted. I think I'll prolly do it at the end of the year.

aww honey *hug* I'm sorry you are having such a hard time with your image and this isn't meant to upset you but just to give you the truth of what could happen...

my girl friend's cousin (know her reasonably well myself) had bypass surgery approx 5 years ago and she was a very big chested girl. With her losing weight with gastric bypass her boobs ended up like "tube socks with tennis balls in them" i believe she described them and due to them being so big and stretched out for so long the doctor said that there really wasn't anything they could do becuz the tissue was just so stretched and damaged from time. She had a few plastic surgeons tell her that. Not just in reference to a reduction, but reduction, lift and even implants. So please just be aware that some people may have issues with that. Hopefully you aren't one of them.

Karey, are you doing the implants? At my age, I'm glad I didn't. I left it up to my ps. He said he could always go back and do them, but I think I'll pass, one less thing to worry with :)

Nana: Are you "Harely" because you ride a harely or because of a grand son? Just curious. My youngest daughter's biological grandmother rides a harley and goes on cross country trips. I think its pretty cool. I think I have decided to get the implants, because I'm so empty on top. I don't just sag, I've lost a lot of volume and it's gotten worse with the last 10 pounds I've lost. I'm not entirely sure. I have a list of questions for my 2 week preop appointment which is coming up in another week. I was told that the lift, which I'm getting is the harder thing to recover from and that the augmentation isn't that big of a deal. I asked my internist about it and he agreed and said I shouldn't be overly concerned about safety. So, short answer, long. Yes, I think I will.

I actually had a breast reduction about 3 1/2 years ago (Pre Band). I had gotten down to 200lbs to have it done and went from a 38DDD to a small C cup. Of course 5 months later I found out I was pregnant again. Gained back all that weight plus some. Now after having the band and getting down nearly 70 lbs. I have noticed a big difference in my chest. With the weight loss I'm flat and deflated on the top (before I had "teenager boobies") and the skin is a bit wrinkled, but they are still nicely shaped on the bottom. I don't think I'd consider implants, but I have 30 more pounds to go so I may change my mind. I do plan on having a TT for sure. Besides my band ~ the breast reduction/augmentation was the best thing I ever did. :thumbup:

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
