I will get a panniculectomy and I want my insurance to cover it. I've started documenting my problems with a dermatologist and my PCP already. I will never get a boob job and if I ever did change my mind, I would get a reduction of the extra skin and skip the implants. As it is now, I can stuff them in a bra and they look fine. I like the post where someone called them "Ethiopianesque." They do remind me of old National Geographic magazines from the 50s. Well so be it. What gross is that flap skirt. I will go through that pain, but no one is cutting on the ta-tas. Maybe if I were going from a DDD to a B, but not a smaller D to a B.

Do your boobs hang low?

Do they wobble to and fro?

Can you tie 'em in a knot?

Can you tie 'em in a bow?

Can you throw 'em o'er your shoulder

Like a continental soldier

Do your boobs hang low?

Got to love my husband. He doesn't mind the skin and he didn't even mind the fat -- only that I was unhealthy.

My SO is also supportive says they are going to where they naturally would be without the fat. The supportive nature is so comforting and helps while I am changing so fast.... Now how do I get the trash out lol

I went for a 50DD to a 48C I might get a lift someday, or maybe just the Tummy Tuck.< /p>

I went from a 42DD to currently a 36 C and am happy when dressed LOL I don't like any of my body naked though! I would be happy to stay a C and believe I probably will. I am 4'11'' and agree - they get in the way when you are short! I just bought this bra today at Kohl's and it really pushes up without the sleezy cleevage thing going on!

To each their own I say. I will get everything done because why not? My whole life I've been big. Why can't I feel sexy on the inside and outside? I want to look in the mirror and think I'm HOT. And if large, perky breasts are what will help me archive that, that's what I will do.

I get the sleezy cleevage thing when I wear sports bras LOL! I think that with all the skin I will need a C cup to hold it all. Who knows. Glad It didn't get a tattoo on the ta-tas. I would look kinda funny now.

honestly... ive always had large boobs.. when i started the surgery i was a 42DDD now im a 38DD/36DDD ... yea they have deflated just a little bit, but the ladies are still in tact. thankfully.. and i have another 16 lbs to go.. I am going to look into augmentation just to get the lift back, but doesnt really look like they are gonna go down much further which is nice to know.

I was sleeved 2/20/12 and I have lost 63 lbs in 12 weeks...I started as a 42DDD, now I am a loose 40DD, because that's the smallest bra I own. I honestly believe I could easily wear a 38DD, but I'm desperately trying to not buy new bras until I hit 75 lbs down because of the expense. The girls are much smaller, but I've had them since I was 12 and my back & shoulders are glad to see the extra weight go! I don't want implants, but after 4 kids I definately plan on a lift & reduction! I want pretty, small, perky boobies that don't make my back & shoulders hurt! (And that will look cute in my bellydancing costumes!) 

Yes, not having a tat on the girls is for sure a plus at this point. A rose would absolutely be loong stemmed and a horse would look like a bushy tailed giraffe..LOL.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
