Oh yea,

I wouldn't mind being a "C" when I reach goal, but so sad about the deflated and saggy part.

I feel ya! When this is all over, I think I will have big fake knockers put in! :tongue_smilie: I really don't know how to exist w/o big boobs...but thats just me:cool2:

Love this thread!!!

Pants:

Was 24/26, Now 18

Tops:

Was 26/28 or 3/4X, Now 16/18 or 1X

So far, I haven't changed bras, but the ones I am wearing are seriously getting loose around. I have to wash them every day just so they will shrink up and be tight enough. The cups are still full though. They are 44DD, but I think I could probably get a 40DD now.

If your cups are still full, you will have to probably go up a cup size when you go down on your band size. I started a 44DDD and now I am a 40G. It is quite frustrating. :smile2:

Thanks for the advice. Now I have even a harder task ahead of me...just when I was thinking it was going to get easier to find bras! LOL! What was I thinking?

I was a size 3X/26-28

I am a size L/14-16

Bra size went from 44D to 40 C. I'll probably continue to go down in band size but probably not cup size since I was ALWAYS a C in the past

Still have 54 pounds to go....who knows where I'll end up!?!?

Well, I went bra shopping this weekend. The results were quite depressing. I was in a 44DD, but the style of bra I was buying is the only bra I was able to fit into a DD. In other styles, I had to have a DDD. Well, just as crzytchr figured, I did go down in band and up in cup. As a matter of fact, I am now a 40H. How the heck is that possible?!?! I was measured, and then I tried on a sample bra and the lady was spot on. It fit like a glove. Apparently what I have is all breast tissue and not going away even though I have lost 4 inches in the rib cage. That brings the difference in my bust and rib cage measurement to a whopping 9 inches. Now I feel like a freak! To add insult to injury, I will now have to go to a specialty shop or order my bras. I thought having to buy all my bras at Lane Bryant was bad enough.

      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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
