Hi all,

After losing weight we know that we loose weight from all parts of the body. If you were to loose a lot from your breasts would you consider getting breast augmentation or breast implants to fill you out, or a breast lift to bring you back up north instead of heading down south....??

I think if I got really floppy and flat, I might possibly get an augmentation or a small implant so I look normal and not flat chested. lol

Hell yeah I'd buy me some boobies if I didn't have them. Just don't go too big or you'll look ridiculous. Like Pam Anderson ridiculous!

Ironically, I'm having a breast reduction Friday.

i agree, if they got so flat and looked like loose flappy skin i would get something done. But like you said not so overdone that it looks fake, and make sure its in proportion to my body.

But if the chicken fillets could sort out the problem, i wouldnt bother.

I'm hoping just a breast lift will be required. I was always busty, even when I was thin, so it's hard to imagine actually needing implants! But if I were flat, then I'd consider it. The main thing I fear with implant is loss if nipple sensation....

I dunno what thin is...I seriously have never been thin, my mom told me when I was 1 I was getting so big she had to put me into adult diapers. I have always been big, I always seemed to have boobies too LOL

I am busty as it is. Surprisingly my breasts don't seem to be shrinking at all in cup size but the circumference is certainly smaller. I am surprised that they still have a nice shape and wouldn't really want implants . . .

. . . however, if I ever end up with the tube socks filled with tennis balls hanging past my belly button (which sometimes happens with us busty girls) I would do an implant/reduction/reshaping combo of some sort. They don't have to be perfect, I just don't want to be able to toss them over my shoulder or knock someone out if I am turning too quickly :0)

I was just curious about those of us who are not shrinking as compared to those who lose almost everything. Does that mean the bustiness is not related to an excess of fat cells in our chest region??? Is it the difference between the percentage of fat cells as opposed to breast tissue the indicator for which direction you go?

The last time I was at what my goal weight is now, I was a C cup. So, no, I wouldn't be getting implants. :lol: A breast lift, maybe. But probably not. I like to avoid surgery and just getting a lap band is a pretty big step for me.

If I end up with one of those hanging aprons over my tummy, I would get a Tummy Tuck though. At least I think I would. I guess we'll have to see. First I have to get the band (damn insurance)!

I have ginormous boobs right now, I'm a 40 DDD, I'm hoping with loosing weight I'll end up a big C or a smaller D, I've always had big boobs, even in middle school. I'm hoping that I don't need any surgery, but I do want them to look like a normal 20 year olds boobs and not my grandmas. If things arn't the way I want them I would probably have surgery, at least a lift. If I have a terrible apron I'd want a Tummy Tuck too, I'm hoping I have my age going for me so it might go back to "normal" but its pretty far gone so who knows hahaha.

Right now I'm trying to get insurance approval for a TT. Since I was self-pay for the band there's no way i can afford it and for this reason I'll probably never have boob work done. I just tell people that at least I can roll them up and tuck them in. Now, if I could afford it, I wouldn't have implants, but I sure would like a lift and I'd also take care of the bat wings on my arms.

I'm really not sure on this one. I'm getting a lift, that much is determned, I'm not at all unsure about having PS to fix a part of my body that's really suffered. But I *may* need an implant to fill out the stretched out skin on the tops of breasts, I've lost ALL the volume there. It sounds impossible, but I"m a DD but look flat chested. I have this looooong expanse of bony chest, the curve of my rib cage actually sticks out further than my breasts.

I'm not sure I will get the result i want just by a lift - I'm getting several opinions on this.

Because truth is I dont want implants - I fear the health consequences, I dont want further surgeries down the line. What an I going to do at 60, get a new set of plastic tits or let what will be utterly destroyed hang on my chest when the old ones have to come out? It really worries me. And I dont like fake boobs to be honest, I dont want that melons on my chest look. I just want back the boobs I used to have. But to fix the emptiness of the skin, the advice I've had so far is that Id need round implants, not the more natural teardrop shaped ones. I also dont want bigger boobs than I have because I think big boobs just make you look fatter again. I dont really like big boobs.

But I look down at my breasts, yeah, I have a bra on and they sit puddled in there, like two old deflated sacks of skin, its REALLY ugly. I cant even show off my cleavage because its so loose and flaccid.

So I dont know, but I'll probably get implants if necessary.

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
