Stretch marks and boobs question



Recommended Posts

Do stretch marks go away? I've had them for about 5 years, some newer than others but my whole stomach is covered cause basically all my weight is in my tummy and boobs. Which brings me to the next question. I have DDD when you ladies lose weight do the boobs shrink? Or just become inflated flabby balloons...I really hope I won't have to wear a few bras to hold all the skin...

No they don't. But they get smaller as you lose weight. People who aren't even fat get them too so don't stress out about it. My husband has them and he has never been fat.

I don't know about stretch marks but I do know your boobs will get smaller and sag. I was a 44DD though I haven't brought a new bra yet. I know I'm much smaller maybe a 38D. Today makes 2 months sleeve for me

Unfortunately stretch marks don't go away, they do fade some but there will always be there. Just think of them as your "battle scars". Embrace them is my advice... most people do have them somewhere on their body. Good luck with your weight loss :)

I have been sleeved for a month. I have been using coco butter the type u use when your preg. It won't take them away but it had been helping them fade. The ones on my arms aren't as noticeable. And as you get smaller it helps keep the skin stay moisterized. Also I take 5000mg Biotin for my skin and hair. Hopefully this helps you. And my doc says drinking Water helps with skin to.

Tom Conti in Shirley Valentine calls them 'lines of life'. I like that.

You have stretch marks forever. My breasts are definitely low and deflated now, but I can still 'pour' them into a bra just fine. They are much more liquid rather than firm, but there are lots of women who have plastic surgery to increase breast firmness or to regain size after surgery. I won't be going that way because I will breastfeed when I have children.

Mine have gone from 44dd to 38c so far. It is nice to have the smaller bras but boy do they need some good support now! I guess my fat was holding them up, because they are very deflated! Lol. I'm doing a lot with weights like chest presses but not sure if it is helping!

        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.

      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
