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!

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:

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
