44 D to a 38 C. And shoe size from a 7 1/2 wide to a 6 1/2 regular. I expected the girls to shrink, but didn't even think about my feet!

This is gonna sound weird' date=' but so far I have gone from a 44C to a 38D. I was wearing "full figured" bras and I swear to god the cup size on them is larger than a normal bra. They were so big over the weekend I had to go buy new bras. At first I was upset because I thought my boobs were fading away, but when I started trying in all the normal 38C's they were all too small. Into a 38D and perfecto. I hope the cup size stays and just the band continues to shrink.

Sent from my iPad using VST[/quote'] well a 44c is the equivalent of a 42d so your band probably just got smaller..because u got thinner.

Well a

For those of you getting lifts and what not, have you already gone through the insurance process? My insurance will cover a lift, does that mean if needed can I just self pay for implants in the same surgery therefore waiving fees that I would acrue if done seperately..I know I should wait and see but I always like to prepare

Very interested in this as well. I didnt know insurance covers lift at all. I have Humana. I didnt have a 6 or even 3 month of monitored weighloss requirement. I didnt have any requirements for surgery other then BMI... So im going to look into this.

My insurance is through yale university (my mom works there)..basically everything just needs to be at yale, there's no insurance plan like aetna or blue cross just yale. I also just needed to meet bmi criteria, have a psychiatric eval and meet with a nutritionist before meeting with the surgeon. I started the process the last week of march and am being sleeved may 23rd. As far as cosmetics, mine covers tummy tucks and breast reconstruction/lifts

My insurance covers a Tummy Tuck and breast lift but I've heard that the surgeon who does the breast tends to botch them. My friend had a tummy tuck but I felt like her scar was high. I'm looking into just paying out of pocket and going to a surgeon that does plastics for a living and not just on the side. Plus I want both procedures done the same day and my insurance only covers one surgery at a time.

I would go to a plastic surgeon within the hospital system my insurance is a part of so I hope it would go well

      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
