I hope so. They did say that I am younger and have good elasticity. So hoping my boobs won't look to bad.

I'm in Canada so our medical system works differently. Personally I don't have large breasts so I won't have a thing left when I lose all the weight I need to lose. I will have to start a boobie fund. 

Here in Manitoba if you have large breasts and go for a reduction it will be covered by our Manitoba Health Care. I have heard from women who went for the approval for breast reduction before having WLS. They now have the approval for their reductions and after they lose their weight they can go have their reduction surgery, fully covered and be perky again. It may be worth a shot to see if your insurance would approve you for a reduction. I sure wish I could have been able to do so.

Yes, I am going to speak to the surgeon about that. I believe it might be covered if it causes rashes  or something like that! I sure hope so!

I forgot to tell you; checking with your insurance about it is a very good idea.  I have AETNA and they paid for it.  Of course, you need proof of medical necessity and a good doctor who writes you the letter in the most apropriate terms, but you can get it.  Good luck with that.  I paid for the tummy tuck with the savings.

Yes, I deff will. I have been taking pictures of my rashes now, just incase it will help for later. You never know.

You are right, pictures are a good idea, but have your doctor document it, so your doc knows about the tightness in your back muscles, the pression of your bra straps in your shoulders, etc... the constant back pain...  All that counts when applying to the insurance, and your doctor can make the case for you.  Document everything.  Insurance sometimes require at least two years of documented breast related medical need for surgery.  Now is your time.

Mine look fine, they aren't small either but I did wear a bra 24/7 the entire time I was MO.   I have some extra skin when I bend over, but standing up they look actually pretty good, its the one area I never considered plastics on.

Can I ask what size you were before? I am a 44DD. Also what is MO?

MO stands for Morbidly Obese.
