I had my boobs reduced in 1984, I had the excess put on ice so when they figure out how to do male extensions my DH would already have donated tissue.

Who'd ever thought they'd come back, but at least they're where they're suppose to be instead of around my waist.

I am absolutely going to have a reduction done after I've lost my weight. I actually had a friend's teenager (daughter) ask me if I used to be in porn. I wasn't quite sure how to take that...

Yeah, I have dreams of being a D cup... While I was breast feeding my son, my dear supportive mother told me I looked like a circus freak...

Greg,

Your weight is falling off even from the last time I talked to you. What is your secret? And what is an average day of eating for you? Give me an example, please! Thanks

Big boobs are a bummer. I am checking out a reduction right now. I've got Aetna and I tried with them in 1997 and 2000 and got turned down both times. Their answer was loose weight...Well, my answer is I am loosing weight and this time I will even lie about what I weigh. My shoulders feel like they are holding up 2 watermelons and I am in pain 23/7 and have been for years. My doc said to get it done now and he will through in a lift. They surely won't do it when I am thin.

Greg,

You have definitely been on a roll in this thread. And I had pegged you for a nice reserved man. What happend to him, where did he go??? Ok ladies, dont tell me he's really Dr. Heckle and Mr. Tide.

I would suppose that Dr. Heckle was out this go round. And when the clean Greg returns he's Mr. Tide. He is quite the comedian. Did you all look at the card he sent us. Hilarious!!!!

Phyllis, Aetna turned my daughter down...I wrote one GOOD letter and they reconsidered and paid for the whole thing. Let me know if I can help..

        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!

      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
