Unfortunately I lost a lot from the boobs as well. Pre surgery I was a 38G Now 36 DDD. :( And I have room in those bras So now maybe I'm a 36DD. I'm am looking into getting my boobs overhauled in the spring. Along with getting rid of the bat wings. :)

At least u lost band size first! I'm 5 weeks and have gone from 46ddd to a 46c this week. So hopefully my breasts are done shrinking time to start losing band size 36 here I come.

Wow I feel absolutely deficient! LOL

I went from a 40 B to a 36 B. I guess I should be happy they stayed a B :)

Well...the good is you can wear all the cutesy bras and matching panties. The bad? The cups are mostly filled with extra skin, not boob. From a 44 E-F to a 36 D

I lost mostly in the band, 44D to 36D. Mine don't look too bad, at least they are still pointing forward, but gravity has taken its toll. I really think that not having children spared them a bit. My sister, the pancake boob girl, has her 34A's pointed at her toes somehow, but she has four kids.

LOL! I KNEW THERE WAS A GREAT STORY OUT THERE! YOU ARE MY NEW BEST CYBER VSG FRIEND....LOL!

Also, my doc said its important to keep a good support bra during this process! I'm glad he said that because I just couldn't wait to get out of my bra but now you can't pay me to take them off! I need all the help I can get!

Ladies there is Hope and her name is Foxbins : ) I needed this! Thank you so much.

Mine are disappearing at a fairly equal rate to the band size. I was 40DD and now am a 34 DD or 34 DDD depending on the bra. The problem is that it is all skin and they don't push up and together like they used to. The skin wants to pour over the edge of the bra rather than fill up the bra. I am going to wait a year and see if there is any tightening - I know my boobs were a wreck after I had my daughter and managed to shape up a little a year afterwards. If I hate them in a year, I'll consider plastics. To be honest, my stomach is bothering me a lot more (stretch marks and sagging skin - sexy!!).

Get a new bra every 8 weeks or so if you notice it isn't fitting right. I have been determined to keep the girls supported through this process to minimize the damage. Plus, you will look much better in clothes with a properly fiting bra.

Wow, sorry to hear that. I'm only 3weeks out but they are still very full just shrinking. I do feel better because its less stress on my back and neck. I just don't want to lose all of them! But, they still look good in or out of the bra now. I think it may also be where we start of and how much we lose. I'm looking at losing 70-80lbs. I walk every day and I work out 4days a week and I'm keeping a postive outlook!

Actually, after reading so many sad stories, I started to feel a little depressed about this boob thing. One day my husband said why would anyone who loves being happy watch and read about unhappy daily? Made sense : ) so I'm hopeful...lol

I can tell you that my boobs hung in there for a good long time. They stayed a full D until my last 20 Lbs lost. Then they literally shrunk to lil bitties and lost the fullness bad. I could've went down to a B cup but since I was planning my BA I chose not to waste any mney on new bras.

I just got them refilled 2 weeks ago and they look fantastic now. ;) In fact, I don't think they've ever looked so good, and I used to have some great boobies!!!

Breast Augmention. No reconstruction was necessary though, so just "refilled".

      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.
