I was curious to see if any one else is having this issue. Naturally, my breasts go up and down in size with weight loss and gain. I was banded on 5/22/07. I am down 28lbs in that time. One thing I have noticed though, is that one girl is shrinking a whole lot faster than her sister. My right has always been a hair bigger than my left, but now it is starting to get noticable. I always thought I would need a Tummy Tuck after I reach goal, but now I am wondering if I need to think about a breast lift in order to get them back to matching pair.

Anyone else have experience with this? Kat

I hate to say it, but I have noticed the same thing. My left was always a hair bigger, and I notice it more now. Ah well... what can we do?

One side of your body will never match the other side. Your right foot might be a bit bigger than your left, or your left ear may not be the same size as your right ear.

It would seem reasonable that with weight loss some things can be more obvious. If you go through plastic surgeon's before and after photos you'll see this quite a bit. Some people it's drastic, one breast is an "A" and the other is a "C".

I had a considerable difference between the two; at least a full cup size. I've lost 22 pounds now and the visual difference is becoming much less. When I was in high school it wasn't noticeable through clothing back when I was thin.

I'm certain I will need a lift and pretty sure I'm going to want a tuck (more than a need on that one). DH is just looking at $$ and says I'm perfect the way I am :0) I'm really hoping he'll want a new motocycle around that time and I can work a deal!!

Mine had always been uneven. I used to be a C on the left and a large D on the right. After my weight loss I went to an A on the left and a C on the right. It was pretty bad. I had them replaced a couple months ago and could not be happier with them. I did want a Tummy Tuck later on down the road. But since I have had my boob job I think I can live with my tummy the way it is. I am now a full 40 D and I love it!

Sure thing, right one much bigger than left. I will need breast work for sure when this is all done.

Yes, i've found its become more noticeable. I thought sag wise my breasts were beyond help (i've breastfed 3 kids for over 6 years in total) but the smaller one (the left is about 1/2 cup size smaller than the right) has shrunk to the point where my nipple now points upwards like its meant to instead of hanging down).

its still only a half a cup size (if that) difference between the two but now they look seriously weird as the nipples point in markedly different directions. I will have this fixed, just because but not till I'm working again in a year or two.

When I'm clothed you cant tell unless you look very hard but I'm paranoid about things like walking from the heat outside into a freezing shopping centre lol. Men might think headlights on is sexy look but for it to work it really is probably best to have both nipples pointing the same way :)

        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
