Okay, Boobs is the topic!

Hi everyone! I have a question for ya... I see a lot of people saying their boobs were the 1st thing to go after the the weight started coming off.... Sorry guys, but I have to know !! Well, I am 4 mos out and have lost everywhere but there! I know some people will ask why I'm worried about this, look at it as a good thing , but I look out of porportion... (of course my hubby doesn't think so.. ... he thinks its great!! ) But honestly, I'm already thinking about a reduction... is it too early??? do I need to chill out and wait a little longer?? Jess 258/195/135?

Hi Jess...and hi to your boobs too! lol Ok, I am NO expert in the boobage department because I have none, heck I didn't even get the benefit of having them when I got this heavy! Having said that....I think we all lose in different places first. it just seems like alot of people lose the boobs first simply because when you get THAT many people all losing weight it stands to reason that it would seem like all do this or all do that...I guess it's like when you buy a red car, you never see one on the road till you own one. I bet just as many people would agree that maybe the butt or legs was the first to go too. My point ( yes I DO have one lol ) is this: You are a work in progress and your body is going to change many times over before you get where you're going to be. If it were me I would wait to do anything. Looking at your numbers I see you are still expecting to lose as much as 60 pounds yet ( that's alot of potential boobage gone lol ) Unless it is really affecting you in a bad way like back pain etc. I'd wait a bit.

Ahhh, Linda... that was great!! love the AKA!! You are right, I do have a ways to go... so I should hang in there... I think I'm scared with out having the belly to hold them up, they are going to leave for South soon...LOL !!! Thank you ! Jess

Jessica, Last on, 1st off. My belly was the last place I put on the weight and the first place to downsize. Yippie. Everyone seems to be unique. Take your time. I think it is wise to wait until you are near your goal weight and at least 1 year post surgery. If you start now and you still have some to go it'll cost you twice. Plastic surgery is expensive and somewhat painful. That's a lot of pain/money to go through, so I'd do it right and only once. My boobs went south to Florida years ago, now they are in Cuba. I'm gonna wait to have my boobs and tummy done. I'll let you know about the arms and neck after I see what happens. LOL. ((HUGS)) Elissa

Sounds like a plan Elissa! I think I'll stick to that too! I think I went through a slight case of paranoia (sp?) this morning and decided to have a mild panic attack, they just looked ... well no sense in getting into that, I think we can all get the visual! ... I mean I've always like to go south for vacation, but these guys... they seem to want to go it alone!! LOL Thanks !! Jess

my boobs have left the area for good hahahaha i was a full C maybe a good D now i'm more of a B. i can fit a C if i roll them up hahahhaa. i was alittle upset by it and my hubby was even more upset, but i told him we need to change our way of thinking. we need to start thinking of them as RARE MINITURES!! hahaha who knows, maybe in 2 years or so i will get implants, but right now i'm pretty happy with all these changes. i had my hernia repair ,tt and inner thigh lift 2 weeks ago and they look great. in 6 weeks i'll be getting the arm lift and butt lift. i'm really happy with how my body is changing, but i don't like the idea of more surgery. so i might just learn to love my "rare minitures" hahaha

Give the boobs time to deflate... it will happen! Mine was really over the last 6 months. I went from a 42 D to a 34 B... Yes they do look like shriveled up prunes!! Hubby jokes with me all the time but no more surgeries for me. I'm 1 1/2 years post-op. Good luck to you, Ginger Smyrna, DE

Jess, GREAT new pics!!! I would love to swim with the dolphins also. As far as the booby question ... (do I get a booby prize if I answer correctly?) *giggle* .... ummmm anyway ... uhhh, oh yeah, I know a gal who lost a great deal of weight and her breasts were the last thing to go. BUT she went from a size 44DD to a 32A ... sooooo I am using her as my example ... My tummy is the thing I want gone, GONE ... gone!! And of couse ... it looks like it is going to be the last thing to hold on. Sorta like the final frontier I guess!!! But I try not to get discouraged and remember this other gal and keep hope alive!!! *grin* Hugs, Tammy
