as far as having a breast reduction...Wait on it until you reach our goal then judge FOR YOURSELF...

i'm also interested in this question. i'm only about 3 weeks post op, and am a size DD. i'm realllyyyy hoping that theres a lot of fat in my breasts and once i lose weight my bra size will decrease as well! i do have to say though, that ive lost about 20 pounds since the day of my operation, and im currently wearing a bra that i used to "muffin top" over, for lack of a better word and it no longer does that! i definitely agree with zeniada though, wait until you reach goal then decide for yourself! :)

I was happy to see this post as I thought it was just me.

Down 25 lbs and went from a 46 to a 42 (sports bras)

Put on an old regular bra 38C, a little tight but the cup was right used to be a D.

I have lost 104lbs; I was a 44dd, I am a 36c. I wear a d cup, tho' because to me the c is just not comfortable, yet. I love to shop at Victoria Secret instead of Lane Bryant or wherever we fat girls had to shop. Don' t do anything yet. It is far to soon to be talking about a breast reduction. My breast are saggy, but I think that when most woman are my age(62), they are saggy. I can say for my 40 year old daughter, her breast look great! She never really had cleavage when she was fatter. She does now,and looks good. Go for a nice fitting wherever you shop when you need an adjustment. Karen(kll724)

I agree with those who said wait until you are at goal to even think about doing anything with the girls. At that time it is YOUR personal choice, not the nurse's or anyone else's.

I went from a 42DD to a 36C after 111 pounds lost.

I would wait until you reach your goal weight. I am 44 yrs old & 44DD. I hope to get back to a 38C. Age may change this. Is so then I will get my boob reduction then. I to could have one now too but I would like to do natural first.

42D to a 36C.

Why does the nurse think you need a reduction? Are you having back pain/problems? If not, say thank you for your input.

If there is no medical reason for it, and you don't want it. Don't do it!

I was wearing a 46C before beginning my pre-op diet, then down to 46B on surgery day. Today, at 4 weeks post op, I can comfortably hook the 46B on the next tighter eye, but the cup is too big. The extra fabric scrunches under my shirt and looks awful. In the meantime, for work I lay a folded up sock inside my bra underneath to help fill out the cup so it doesn't look so bad. When the band part is too big, then I'll buy a smaller cup size as well (geez, that's going to be an A.....)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
