For Those Who Aren't Shy--Tell Me About Boobs



Recommended Posts

Well, the smallest cup size I even recall wearing as a 4th grader was a c cup! Now I wear a 42 DDD. I just had my sleeve, but I hope my boobs completely disappear! My shoulders & back are tired. I'm sick of carrying all this weight on my shoulders-literally! Whatever is left after I hit goal will be lifted & reduced down to a small c cup. I lost 120 lbs some years ago, and my boobs stayed the same size. If they don't disappear this time, my friendly neighborhood plastic surgeon will snip & clip! :)

Lol, well I can do the same. Due to the testosterone levels men have. When we lose weight man boobs are reduced severely they prolly drop down to A-cups lol... Also this drastic change has a lot to do with weightlifting activity, nutrition and effort

There u go :)

Hahaha...thanks! We don't want anyone to have to wear a "Bro!" (reminds me of that Seinfeld when Kramer invents the man bra... :lol: )

I've seen some men's man boobs after surgery. They, too, look like they have droopy tits when it's over. I'm sure some men don't have that problem.

As far as my boobs go, I wear a D/DD and when I lost a lot of weight before they were still a C/D. I am hoping that's where they will be when I'm done losing.

I've lost 7 inches from my breasts, but my cup size is still a D. My actual cup size before surgery may have been higher, but I was wearing a 40D. I'm now in a 34 to 36 D.

The nice thing is that my breasts have lost proportionately with the rest of my body. I am not pointing south, but I have noticed that they are a bit deflated compared to before.

I haven't ruled out a lift or fill in my future, but I said that even before my WLS. :)

I am still wearing my pre-surgery bras, but need to buy smaller (trying to use clothes as long as possible). Obviously I am on the smallest hook now, but there is definitely a little more room in the cup.

I had a reduction almost two years ago, which was wonderful. I went from a too-small DDD to a D, having almost four pounds removed from each breast. Hopefully I will end up a C. When I had the reduction, I had no plans for weight loss surgery. The surgeon didn't want to make my breasts smaller than a D because of my size.

The breast reduction of course included a lift, so they are up where they belong. When I look at the way my clothes fit, I have to say that the breast reduction adds as much to a better fit as the weight loss. And of course, exercise is much easier without the burden of overlarge breasts.

Well pre-surgery I was a 46DDD. Now I have lost 107 pounds and I am a 42DD and sometimes I feel like I could go down to a 42D. I have been totally ok with the boobage amount I've lost. My back feels so much better. I do hope when it's all said and done and I get closer to goal that I keep some of what I got. My man loves boobs, gotta have something to work with lol

I don't know what's going to happen here, but my husband is predicting my boobs are going to look like tube socks!

Well I've never been overly busty, and 83lb later I have a drawer full of VERY padded bras! Last fitting I was a 36c, although I'm actually somewhere between a b and a c cup, however they have dropped a good chunk, although I am small enough to go bra-less it makes me look bottom heavy and gaunt on top.

I'd not consider a boob job, big bras are good enough at boosting what I've got, but if I had the money I'd go for a Tummy Tuck and some contouring Lipo to even things out. Good luck discovering your new shape! ;)

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
