Expierience breast sag??



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone...

I'm 18 and i currently just finished my 4th month out of the 6 required supervised months and so far i have lost 20 lbs.

My question is for the women preferably around my age range or 20's. I was wondering after you lost your weight with the lapband did you experience any breast sag? do you have any suggestions to help prevent it? I have a signifficant amount of weight to still lose and i havent expierenced any problems yet with my -20lbs. However i'm young and i would hate to have to worry about having saggy boobs at 18 haha. any help?? thanks :thumbup:

The biggest factor is what are your breasts like now?

If they sag now (heavy, hang over the inframammary fold ie. you can hold a pencil under them, and downward pointing nipples), they still will, they just will be smaller and sag. If you have pert ones without overhang at the fold and with forward or upward pointing nipples, at your age they might recover.

My boobs suck now. I don't really know what I could have done though. I'd much rather be healthy with silly saggy boobs then they way I was before.

i think jachut is right. boobs are so weird! they are different on everyone. for me, they were sagging even before i was at my highest weight. now that i am losing weight, they are still saggy, but not any worse than they were before. they have gotten a little bit smaller though, but not enough for me to buy a new bra. yet.

oh yeah-- but don't worry about them too much--- there are some AMAZING bras out there. even if you are big chested, don't be afraid to get a pushup bra. i use the victoria secret infinity edge, and all of my girl friends tell me they want my boobs. i just laugh and say "trust me-- no you dont." but it's still good to know other people think they look decent. well-- with help!

      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.
