Boob ?
Okay I have a ? and I am very curious about this how much of the "Girls" will I lose? I have some people who say I will loose all of them and have nothing but hanging skin and some say they do shrink but want be left with just hanging skin. I understand I will have some loss and mayb alot but do they really go to just hanging skin??? Any answers would be helpful.
Thanks

Every person is differernt, so there really is no answer to this!!! It's going to depend on your starting weight, BMI, age, elasticity in your skin... boob size & fat content at the beginning, etc. etc, etc... And believe me... it's not just the boobs that change!!!
Me? I've got what looks like two pancakes hanging on my chest... But... that i why God invented plastic surgeons!!!

Everyone is different and some loose pretty much everything, some loose a lot but not everything and some are very lucky and don't seem to loose much at all. I lost some but not everything. I still fill a "C" cup but I fill it very differently than before. I checked on getting a lift/augment and was told that I was one of the lucky ones and had good muscle still. I have a good friend who lost all her boobage... she basically has tubes of skin hanging, but she's going to have an augment/lift next month. I had my WLS 7 1/2 years ago and lost 217 lbs (I've regained 30 at this point, but still feel great!)... One of these days I will have a lift done but I think the augment isn't needed for me.
Good luck!

I was a large D before surgery... now I wear a padded C bra.. my boobs are not a C but what I have left plus the extra skin is too much for a B cup. They are sad lil boobs :/
I will say that I went from 288lbs down to 180lbs and was still wearing a D cup bra... I thought I was 'in the clear' and would be ok and then as I got closer to goal the more my boobs started to shrink :-(
