Oh Chest Where Art Thou?



Recommended Posts

Before the weight loss, I was a 44DD and now I'm a 32D. I thought I was a smaller cup size but the professional bra fitter said no. Problem is that I literally have to pour my breasts into the bra cups. They are nothing but skin. I may have boob surgery in the future but for now, I rely on the bra as I do all my foundation garments to make me look good in clothing. As far as out of clothes..well, that's for another thread..lol.

Like JamieLogical, I LOVE my fake boobies. After losing weight multiple times over a decade or so and then finally having sleeve surgery a little over a year and a half ago, my girls had also left the building...they just took the elevator down to my waist on the way out. I looked like I had saggy, floppy tube socks on my chest. I decided one day to go see a surgeon about getting new ones, and 8 months later that surgeon has now done pretty much every body contouring procedure possible on me. Of everything, my boobs and my stomach are my favorite and given how they just stay sitting on my chest whether I'm wearing a bra or not is constantly amusing to me. Had I known how much I would love fake breasts, I would have done it years ago.

So...if you're thinking about plastics, I'm sure you will love the results you get!

If you don't mind me asking about how much did the body contouring and implants cost? Do you know the range of pricing. I kind of want to know what I should expect if I want plastic surgery after I reach goal. Thanks!

I would like to hoist up the girls.. Soon. ...Without implants... My concern is my port 2" down in the middle...

Any one have breast surgery w/ mid- port?

I was concerned w/ TT/ plication but surgeon said he saw my port ... So perhaps this is done more than I know.... Which is nothing about breast lifts..

I went from a DD to a B. And the only reason I'm a B is because of all the loose skin I have to stuff in the cups. In fact, one day I accidentally put my sports bra on backwards and it fit fine! And I couldn't be more thrilled. If I were to ever have surgery, it would be to remove skin with NO enhancement. Without the extra skin, I would definitely be an A and probably wouldn't even bother with a bra. I spent the first 45 years of my life dealing with "the sisters", and I'm perfectly happy to spend the next 45 without them.

My butt and hips went bye bye along with my boobs, so with my thin, muscular arms and flat tummy I've been told I look like a preteen boy....a "curse" I am happy to bear. It's so easy much easier to buy clothes with this shape.

      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.
