I'm really happy that the weight is comming off, but am alarmed at the effect its having on my breasts. I'm not big in the first place but I already don't fit in my bras I still have 20 pounds to goal but I don't want to see my boobs as little raisins when I'm done. This is like a "You win some, you lose some" scheme. I shouldn't care because I'll be healthy, but I fear I won't look like a woman. Please keep in mind that I'm a very short person and I would not look my age if it weren't for the breasts!

I'm getting mine done this summer. I was just waiting for my red blood cell count to get up there again before I scheduled surgery.

I would be happy to donate mine. I have PLENTY to spare. My husband panics when I tell him after this last kid I'm having them taken down to a perfect little non-existant A cup so I don't ever have to look at another stupid bra again!

I have been waiting years to lose enough weight to get a reduction. Now I'm wondering if I can even do that. They seem like just a D cup worth of mushy, saggy skin now. There is a thread around here somewhere about this. My favorite post was about being able to lean over and put them into Pringle cans . I mentioned it to a my doctor and he laughed hysterically, then said he'd be happy to refer me to a surgeon. . After I have my next child I am going to take him up on the offer and see if they can get them off of my knees .

They were so great when I was pregnant... <she says wistfully>

That was my favourite post too! I told my daughter about it (who is a very well endowed size 5, poor dear), and she looked ill. Maybe, I shouldn't have given her such a vivid glimpse into her future?!

I'm seeing a breast reduction in my future too, but there may be only some lose skin to remove from the looks of the way things are going!

Getting mine "done" was one of the best things I've ever done, just for myself! I devote most of my time and energy to my little ones and my DH, and for once I decided I was going to do something just for me. I never sagged, I was just flat as pancakes. I went from an AA to a C cup and I never looked back. But I didn't feel that I was doing my new additions justice until I began to lose some weight on Atkins. That is the great thing about an augmentation -- unlike "real" boobs, they will not shrink as you lose weight! Although I know many people feel uncomfortable about or critical of plastic surgery, especially something like a boob job which is usually done purely for cosmetic reasons, I highly recommend it.

Mine are like a flat tire. After having 6 babies nurse, well, you can just imagine. I do wear a wonder bra and I love it . My oldest daughter worked at Hooters and she said all the girls wear them. I can never go back to another bra

I am definetly getting mine done. I hate being overweight and flat chested. Most women who gain weight at elast get boobs to go with it. My biggest gripe though is uneveness. I know all women are uneven, but mine are more then a cup size and are different shaped. This makes wearing tight tops impossible for me, no matter how much weight I lose. If after the surgury they aren't a perfect match, that will be ok, but I would at least like a strait line from one nipple to the other. (I'm thinking of upgrading to a large C, small D. My mother is a full D, so I have a good idea how it would look on me)

I am definitely getting mine done - I've never been to fond of mine anyway. However, I was in a car accident in '95 and went from 130 to 195, then back down to 125, then just recently climbed up to 163. So, they have been through a lot.

I am actually worried about how bad they will look after losing 25 lbs. However, I still have 22 to go so I might as well not worry. I did however start chest exercises and can already feel a difference in my upper chest. I am hoping that the exercises at least help keep what I have left over up there alittle cuz I am already pointing at the floor if you know what I mean. I don't need a boob job now, just nipple realignment. How much would that cost???

I am definitely going to have a boob job when this is all said and done. Although I have no room to complain because I am a full D, but I can tell from losing just 22 lbs that I am droopy and when I am done getting to my goal, I want to be perky again!

I plan on having mine done after I'm finished having children.
I don't want any added (I am a very low haning D), just what I have lifted up to where it belongs (no longer at my navel) !

I have never heard about the pringles can before, but I'm fairly confident that is trick that I too could perform.

BTW even the wonder bra can not make cleavage out of what I have!

Happy LCing,

Good luck to ya when you have them done. Hope all goes well for ya.

I'll keep mine. When I was a size 6 I was a 36B so I'm hoping to be at that same size when I get there again. I'm so tired of these D's.

Cheers,

Oh, I already have surgery on my mind. When I was 165, my breasts were only a 36 B. They are currently a 42C. As soon as I lose all my weight again, I am having the boob job done.

Some people think that sounds really shallow, but shallow is part of why I am on this diet in the first place! Sure, I could take the noble, high road and say, "oh, i am trying to lose weight to be healthier". That isn't totally true though. I am trying to lose weight so I look hot again.

And my new boobs will be part of that. ;-)
