Onow by next year I will need some type of breast surgery. I am a DD, but am losing volume and gravity taking its toll already. I have seen and heard horror stories. My sleevevsurgeon said wait a full year and there are many tecniques. He said most have a reduction with a small implant vs a lift.

Ideas and experiences are greatly appreciated! I am in SE La. My Sleeve surgeon was Dr. Mark Dominguez partner of Dr. Ordyne at Northlake Surgical with St. Tammamy Hospital in Covington, La. He is FABULOUS. Thanks!

Eeeek! I shudder to think of what will come of "the girls"!!!!! =:o

I live in South Louisiana. I am currently the same size as you and looking in to reduction and lift, for when it's time. I have a ways to go as I have not been "sleeved"yet. ~21 days to go. Nervous and excited, all at the same time!

Best of luck to you on your journey.

JaneDeaux,

Good luck to you. Into week 3 and this has actually been easy but I follow the post op instructions to the letter. I can see if people over consume or consume too fast, how they would feel sick. It is amazing not to crave food. I am free! Soon you will be too if that is an issue for you.

My girls will have to wait a year post op, but that is ok. In the meantime, will research.

Geaux Tigers!

Courage! We're all different, so you may lose a lot of mass, but I started a 44D and now I'm a 36D. The band kept getting smaller but the cup stayed filled. However, I must admit they sit lower than before but thankfully, are still pointed forward. A good bra makes my boobs look fantastic, so I'm not planning on any breast surgery.

That is great! So true, a really good bra makes a difference! I bought one new one and it helped a lot, but soon that one will be too big, and fortunately I kept some nice ones from a few years ago that I can almost get back into. Want to save my money bc I can see I will need to buy clothes during this process. When I get to goal, I will splurge!

I had a breast reduction at 16 from a 36I (Yes I) down to a 36 C. Then I gained a ton of weight and went back up to a 40DD. Then I lost 40 lbs, and went down to a 36D. Then I gained it all back plus some and ended up a 40DDD. Through it all, the girls have been amazing. I'm hoping I can end up a 36D again, but I so understand the fear. I really don't want another breast surgery. I'm just hoping that they will hold up so well this time I'm almost half way to goal, and so far, so good.

How are you doing after a few years with sleeve now? I'd really love to hear more about Dr Dominguez.

      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.
