Ladies have you gone down any cups sizes, since banding?



Recommended Posts

Thanks so much for posting about this...and for all the responses, as this is something I've been really curious about as I get ready to get banded.

If I could take the question one step further, I'm wondering if they do get smaller, if you've found they lose perkiness or anything like that. I don't mind so much if my D cup goes down, as much as I just hope they don't look droopy! lol. If anyone is comfortable to share their experience, I'd appreciate it.

I posted this before i was banded since then I've lost 39 lbs. 44D to about a 40D and they are looking pretty perky. Hopefully it stays this way lol

Sad to say yes, they lost perkiness. Not that I was ever blessed with perky breasts anyway, I've always had downward facing nipples. But now I dont, they face upwards, but the actual breast, I lost all the volume on the top of the breast, they are long and floppy. I have that pear shaped sort of body type, so I've gotten extremely skinny up top and retained more shape below, but my breasts need help. They look fine when I'm dressed, and they are also fine in the right bathing suite - ie. an expensive, well sewn and supportive one - so I'm not too bothered by it. The advice given to me by a plastic surgeon was that I'd need not only a lift but fair sized inmplants as well, so I'm not going to do anything. I dont want bigger breasts again, I'm happy with smaller ones.

So, yes, they do suffer but you can fix them with good results if you want to.

Although I can't really tell that my girls have lost weight, my bra sure shows it! My regular bras are getting too loose at the top and having a big gap....so I cut the tops of the cups off one so the gap doesn't show....

went from 42DD to 40C.

Hoping to go even smaller!! My girls won't be mad!! :)

I hate to say it, but they deflate :( My cup size didtn't change because the skin is still there...but ewww...lol

I went from a 44DDD to a 38DDD...almost a 36 at this point. So still geting bras at LB because I can't get a DDD at VS....they look AMAZING in clothes! So i love that...but out of them...yikes. I DEFINATELY want to have them done. I've always had a great rack...and i still want them! :)

I'm looking into having my arms done and having a breast lift/implants. I just want them full again....not flat....they COULD be worse, so i know it's not as bad as i've seen on others...but still..i like big boobs.....justsayin...ha!

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
