I'm worried about my breast size changing. Im not being vain and obviously health is more important but its good to get others opinions. Ive never had large breasts for a bigger woman. I'm more bottom heavy.

I'm 5'9"

268 lbs

My bra size is 38 d

I'm seeing people on here say they went from a DD to a C or B cup..does everyones' shrink that much.

I'm already worried so much about self esteem issues..I struggled with them growing up and now I'm very pleased with my body. I dont want to be rail thin with no breasts :-(

I'm sorry if I sound stupid because I know health is more important but my mental health is important as well. Did you all lose many cup sizes?

You're going to lose weight in your breast area. But everyone is different. this doesn't mean you're going to go for d to b over night.

I have lost about 2/3 of the weight to get to the goal my surgeon set for me... Luckily I have not lost cup size but I have lost band size. I no longer have a roll of fat above or below my bra band. I have also lost my side boob lol... I no longer have that fat that hangs over the top of a tube top lol

I have gone from 46C to currently 38DD. This is due to losing lots of band size (aka back fat). Seeing as how I feel very little cushion on the band are now, I don't see it getting any lower than 38/36 there.

I have lost 80lbs and my cup size is still the same. I have lost in the band part a lot but not actual cup.

I will be very surprised if my boobs shrink because they never do. Even when I was a size zero I still had whats equivalent to a DDD! Large breast run in my family. My boobs will always be large for my frame no matter how skinny I get. My bra that I'm currently wearing is a 36K, I think that's a 36DDDD in old sizing charts. I've lost 50 pounds and the only thing that has gone down in my band size lol. I think soon I may need to go down to a 34K (34DDDD). My breast have gotten longer though :/ I will definitely need a breast lift but I personally don't ever want to be smaller than a DD so I don't want a reduction. *not sure if that last part made sense*

I've lost 57 pounds so far and have only gone dow one band size :-( I suppose I'm of the few who wants to see my boobs shrink a major amount.

I went from 44 to 36 in band size and stil wear the same cup size, but it is a little big. Not big enough to go down a cup size though.

It surprised me I didn't lose more because when I was young and thin in my 20s, I wore a much smaller cup size.

I went from a OVERFLOWING 38DD to a 34 DD. 34 D cup is too small and I am no longer overflowing in the DD's! :( They went from firm and full to long and skinny! LOL

I went from a 44H to a 32D. And that D is just loose skin. The surgeon said I would be a B or maybe an A at this point if she just took the loose skin and didn't add an implant. Uhhhh, sign me up for those implants!!! I'm waiting for a year I think, but it WILL happen. The thought of dating with the current conditions... Scary. I'm going to stay a d cup but add an implant and take away the loose skin.

This is gonna sound weird, 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.

      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.

      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.
