WAS TOTALLY AGAINST PLASTIC SURGERY UNTIL I WOKE UP....



Recommended Posts

When i began this journey i was foolish, even though i thought i was well informed. I just knew since i wasn't "that big", plastic surgery would not be needed. First of all my eyes were playing tricks on me. i look back at pics now and i was "that big". But everything was moving along slower than i wanted but still moving, no saggy skin in site. I actually discovered that i had a little bit of a booty hiding under the fat. THEN I WOKE UP AND FOUND THAT MY BOOBS WERE EMPTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT WAS NOT GRADUAL , WENT TO sleep ONE DAY THEY WERE FINE A LITTLE SMALLER BUT STILL AWESOME. THE VERY NEXT MORNING I WAS MET WITH TWO VERY SAD SUNNY SIDE UP EGGS!!! EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY HAS HUGE BOOBS EVEN THE SMALL ONES, SO IN MY MIND I WOULD NOT BE AFFECTED. SO HERE WE ARE LOOKING FOR A SURGEON ~LE SIGH~

Did anyone initially not want additional surgeries but ended up getting them?

Mine just keep getting longer but I think I'll just keep slinging them up with a bra. My arm wings on the other hand have got to go.

Maybe you rolled over on a spikey strip, and they deflated? ;)

My boobs are already by my belly button, wondering what they'll look like if I lose weight...

I had my empty, long puppies hiked up (BL) no implants though, there was enough there to be a nice C (from a DD/E)

Now they look fab. :778_heartbeat:

Leaning towards lift with a fat transfer to fix the upper flatness, still have a little meat at the bottom. they look wrinkled in a bra so push ups make it worse.

Yeah 2 fried eggs hanging on a nail. I'm almost 63, had 2 kids so used to that! I always wanted larger breasts until I had them pregnant from a 36a to a 46 eee and then down to 44 b/c -b a little tight, c a little big.

I don't want to be bigger really or even as big as they were, just want symmetrical full breast

Yep, I fully expect to have rocks in socks at the end of this. but ambivalent on whether I'll do anything about it. So far i have lost nothing in my boobs. but I mean it is going to have to come off there at some point right? Im at a 32 BMI right now. To be honest they are the biggest impediment to me fitting into my smaller clothes. I have about 4-5 inches to lose in the chest/back to get into my size 10 dresses. They fit everywhere else, so maybe the next 15 will come off of my chest/back

I wish we could pick the body parts that we want to drop weight from. Until then i will keep doing the dreaded upper body work outs until i decide on surgery.

I've had plastics, and my surgeon wouldn't do the surgery until I was at a steady weight for at least year because going up or down in weight will cause problems with the surgical results. Also, you'll notice your body changing after a while at goal weight. You may change your mind about certain areas and be surprised about how well others faired.

I so wish I could donate these things to you cuz they are causing me even more back issues since I've lost more weight. I went from 48 HHH to a 42 G. Lost a total of 152 lbs so far & I'm doing all I can to strengthen my back but I run into aches at least 3 times a month. I was foolish to not want any other surgeries either but now I want them decreased in size & all the excess skin removed. Hell if possible I'll increase my buttocks a bit. My mother seems to think I'm addicted to surgery now at I'm on this line of thought. I'm comfortable with me but why not get it the way you want if you can..

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
