What is rehung? A lift?

LOL I got mine 'rehung' after I had to get my implants removed. Now they are small but at least they're not saggy. :)

I talked with my husband about this very topic after I posted earlier, and he says he personally would prefer no scars... I haven't done any research at all about the various procedures (I'm talking here about either a lift or an augmentation), so I don't know what the scar profile is for any of them--does that factor into anyone's decision?

I'm getting less and less happy with the shape and texture of the girls, and I know they're going to keep getting saggy and wrinkly as I continue to lose weight. I look great with my bra on, and my husband says he's fine with them no matter what shape or size they are, but he doesn't want scars. So I guess I need to do some investigating and see what's available. I'm still not planning for a procedure, but there's no harm in checking things out and being informed. :rolleyes:

That’s interesting… my hubby said he feels from all the posting he reads a lot of sleevers are scared on the inside and wants me to find a more positive way of enjoying my sleeve :P And I actually get it! I think we take on the challenge of weight and then we don’t like our boobs, our skin our etc… and we become obsessed with making everything over or wanting to anyway…lol

I think there are some great docs that don’t leave scars out there but I’m sure it will cost money! I’m sure no matter what you do you will look great! Enjoy your sleeve and stay healthy!!!

Mine were hardly left after the children but now? The boobs shriveled up and died. It's annoying. Wearing a 36 B but probably should be in an A. Saw plastics a few weeks ago and he recommended implants plus a lift. Hubby of course is totally on board ;) So for now my bras contain QUITE a bit of padding ;)

I do believe Maidenform makes an amazing padded bra. Before I got mine done I used theirs and it added me back up to at least a D Cup and lifted them great! Also, Kohl's has some Daisy Fuentes bras that worked miracles too. I'm kinda glad I did use these bras because it's not so darned obvious that I got my boobies re-inflated.

Good luck on your next venture!!! I love mine, and I'm sure you'll be super happy! ;)

I'm so happy I found this thread! You're worried about losing them and so am I!

My thing is I had a breast reduction two years ago- I went from a 42DDD to a 40C and gained about 40lbs in the last 2 years so now Im a 42D.

Im afraid that after my sleeve I wont have ANY! and I dont want to consider implaints :unsure:

I guess I will just have to wait and see what happens....

Good Luck with your journey :D

I'm right there with ya! Breast feeding 3 kids (twins for that matter), and a breast reduction in between! I now have raisins. Hubby is all for a lift and fill up! It was funny on vacation to Virginia, we were walking around the Water park and he would say "that's a nice size, those look good, they would look good on you!" it was so funny. Then he would say " you know not that i'm looking or anything cause you are so much hotter than they are anyway, just comparing sizes for you baby!" :D

LOL! My hubby did the same thing tonight as I was researching bras online. Men! I told him if he wanted them to look like those pics he really needs to save up some money a little faster ;)

And I have twins too :)

Anyways, I worked up all the courage I could tonight to go to Victorias to get sized. I had already done it at home but had hoped desperately that I was wrong. Uh yeah, I was right. Down from a 38B (probably more like a 40 or 42 but couldn't find those sizes in stores) before surgery to a 36A now. AN A CUP! I told dh I should save my money and hit up Walmarts training bra section. I tried on different sizes and go figure I am kind of inbetween being a 34 B and a 36A. But the best fit was the A *sniff sniff*. The 34 band gave me even more of that awful underarm fat. Ick. None of their bras fit well though and Pennys was closed by the time I left so I hit Target and found a hugely padded bra for only $17 that fit better than the ones at Victorias lol.

While over looking for kids clothes I walked past the training bra section and let me just say I was a little angry, why in the world are bras that padded for kids?! I can understand having a thicker material for modesty but these were full on padded bras. *sigh*

      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.
