??'s about "BOOBS"



Recommended Posts

I had a breast reduction 5 years ago and went from a DD to a C. I think that I'm in between a C - D now. After lap band surgery, did most of you find that you lost weight in your boobs. I'm hoping that I will lose a little but not much. Any comments are greatly appreciated. I just got approved for lap band and I am patiently waiting for a surgery date... or trying to be patient!! ahhaha

I first place I noticed my weight loss was my boobs. I was banded in July and have gone down from a DD to a D already. I will definitely need a lift in a year or so once I have lost all my excess weight.

We lose weight all over and since breast tissue is primarly made of fat that area is greatly affected. It was one of the first places that I lost - much to DH's detriment. I went from a DDD/DD (depending on the bra) to a full D. I used to have to buy a larger shirt because the girlies would make the buttons pop/gape, but now I'm more proportionate. I was too cheap to get my clothes altered - so I didn't look particularly put together. I will probably end up a C cup (that is what I wore as a teenager when I was my smallest). That would be okay with me. I'm sure I'll need a lift too as well as the much needed TT.

ive only been banded a little over 5 weeks and i have already gone from a D to C, and i have noticed that that is getting loose as well, My husband and i were talking about it on my walk this evening, i told him he could pick out the size and make of implants as i know i will be needing them in the future, good luck.

I have actually done the opposite. I went from a C to a D. I think it depends if the breast is really breast tissue or fat.

I plan on getting them revitalized when I get to goal. I am a DDD now I was D before I gained all the weight so I expect to lose a good bit and being larger already wanted a lift so I figure a lift and depending on where I end up some extra lol

Have gone from a full D to a scary looking C and I still need to lose another 15-20 pounds. So yes, a lift and fluff is definitely in order for me. Hope your results are different!

I KNEW I WOULD FIND A THREAD LIKE THIS, I JUST KNEW IT!!! I thought there is no way I could be the only one, because even though the band helps us lose weight significantly slower than other weight loss surgeries, the boobs have to droop if I was once at a healthy weight, then gained A LOT of weight, and now I'm losing the weight to go BACK to my healthy weight....

The breast tissue has stretched and there is no going back... EVER... again...ever :tongue2:

So, I spoke to my hunny today about opening a breast account and he is supportive, he wasn't as excited as I thought he'd be, I think he's an organic kind of boob guy.

But, our band sister said it right when she added to this thread by saying she went from a D to a SCARY C. I see my breast heading in the same direction. SOUTH.

I was really hoping to avoid a breast augmentation, but I used to be a full B at my healthy weight and I am now a DD. I've lost 17 pounds, I am a month post-op, and just with those 17 pounds, I can tell the difference in my breast.

So, I don't think I have a choice, unless I can use them as shoulder pads.

Good luck ladies!!!

I am a DD now and was a D before I gained all this weight. So I expect to go back down to a D. I havent had my band yet but I've already spoke with a plastic surgeon about a breast reduction and he said he absolutly will do it. However, I have to loose weight first so as soon as I have reached 6 months of being banded I will go back to see him and set a surgery date.

        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
