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

      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.
