Breast Reduction/Lift Out of the question

[Ms.Vickie 68]

Ok I had planned on getting my boobies lifted after Lap Band Surgery sometime in December since I met my insurance deductible but after all this gas pain I've had since surgery. NO THANK YOU! I don't want another surgery NO time soon. Nope.

It's a lot to put your body through; surgeries so close together. I had a total hysterectomy less than a year prior to my band surgery (but not in the same calendar year). I need back surgery & thought the same thing......that I'd like to do it this year since all my deductibles have been met. Not going to happen!

You don't want to do that until you've lost all your weight anyway. If you had a reduction and lift now, you may find they end up tiny and saggy later once you're at goal weight. It's much better to wait and see what is still needed after you lose weight- you may find you only need a lift not a reduction.

I was trying to be slick. Lol I had been pre approved for the reduction. Once I've lost all the weight I am quite sure my insurance co won't pay for it. Welp that's what I get.

i fell and broke my arm 1 month exactly after i had the lap band done. i had to have surgery pins and screws. it didn't seem to affect my lap band at all except emotionally. my doctor said the anesthesia used in both surgeries takes time to leave the body. i told him to call it what it was, depression because i couldn't exercise anymore so my weight loss would stop. i had a big pity party going on. but i don't believe breast reduction will give you the gas that lapband did. to do the lapband they filled your belly with air. but i agree with missy. wait until after you lose the weight.

I had a breast reduction 10 years ago, they don't pump you full of gas like the lap-band. I didn't think the sx was horrible at all, I was off pain meds 2 days later, I would do that sx again over lapband, but you might want to wait to lose more weight or like everyone stated, you might end up with deflated & non-perky girls
