I'm scheduled for surgery on the 21st. I've always been big chested in 5th grade I was a D now I'm a 44F. My question is even though I have been big chested all my life will I lose a lot of my boob's? I would really care because they make my back hurt but I don't want to drastically go down. Experiences please?

I was a 40 DDD and now I am a 36D at goal and a normal BMI. I look great in clothes not so much naked. Back feels so much better and overall I look better. DDD at 5' 1" was not a sexy look.

It really depends on the person. I managed to keep my T&A, it is just much smaller and I am pretty droopy. I was a 44H. Now 32G. A lot of people lose quite a bit of fat in the breasts. Some people deflate, some people retain. It really... just depends. The only guarantee is that your band size will most certainly shrink.

Yeah, the boobs go. I've gone from 44DD to 38C so far. And let me tell you, they look really sad about it!

I'm hoping mine don't go. In college when I was thin, I was still a D. That being said, the first item I had to replace was bras! Go figure! I was in a 42DD. Hoping to get back to my old normal of 36D.

I have gone down 5 bra sizes and only one cup size but they look like droopy ears. Hence the breast lift in January. whohooooooo.

      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.
