??'s about "BOOBS"



Recommended Posts

I had a breast reduction 5 years ago and went from a DD to a C. I think that I'm in between a C - D now. After lap band surgery, did most of you find that you lost weight in your boobs. I'm hoping that I will lose a little but not much. Any comments are greatly appreciated. I just got approved for lap band and I am patiently waiting for a surgery date... or trying to be patient!! ahhaha

I first place I noticed my weight loss was my boobs. I was banded in July and have gone down from a DD to a D already. I will definitely need a lift in a year or so once I have lost all my excess weight.

We lose weight all over and since breast tissue is primarly made of fat that area is greatly affected. It was one of the first places that I lost - much to DH's detriment. I went from a DDD/DD (depending on the bra) to a full D. I used to have to buy a larger shirt because the girlies would make the buttons pop/gape, but now I'm more proportionate. I was too cheap to get my clothes altered - so I didn't look particularly put together. I will probably end up a C cup (that is what I wore as a teenager when I was my smallest). That would be okay with me. I'm sure I'll need a lift too as well as the much needed TT.

ive only been banded a little over 5 weeks and i have already gone from a D to C, and i have noticed that that is getting loose as well, My husband and i were talking about it on my walk this evening, i told him he could pick out the size and make of implants as i know i will be needing them in the future, good luck.

I have actually done the opposite. I went from a C to a D. I think it depends if the breast is really breast tissue or fat.

I plan on getting them revitalized when I get to goal. I am a DDD now I was D before I gained all the weight so I expect to lose a good bit and being larger already wanted a lift so I figure a lift and depending on where I end up some extra lol

Have gone from a full D to a scary looking C and I still need to lose another 15-20 pounds. So yes, a lift and fluff is definitely in order for me. Hope your results are different!

I KNEW I WOULD FIND A THREAD LIKE THIS, I JUST KNEW IT!!! I thought there is no way I could be the only one, because even though the band helps us lose weight significantly slower than other weight loss surgeries, the boobs have to droop if I was once at a healthy weight, then gained A LOT of weight, and now I'm losing the weight to go BACK to my healthy weight....

The breast tissue has stretched and there is no going back... EVER... again...ever :tongue2:

So, I spoke to my hunny today about opening a breast account and he is supportive, he wasn't as excited as I thought he'd be, I think he's an organic kind of boob guy.

But, our band sister said it right when she added to this thread by saying she went from a D to a SCARY C. I see my breast heading in the same direction. SOUTH.

I was really hoping to avoid a breast augmentation, but I used to be a full B at my healthy weight and I am now a DD. I've lost 17 pounds, I am a month post-op, and just with those 17 pounds, I can tell the difference in my breast.

So, I don't think I have a choice, unless I can use them as shoulder pads.

Good luck ladies!!!

I am a DD now and was a D before I gained all this weight. So I expect to go back down to a D. I havent had my band yet but I've already spoke with a plastic surgeon about a breast reduction and he said he absolutly will do it. However, I have to loose weight first so as soon as I have reached 6 months of being banded I will go back to see him and set a surgery date.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
