It is so not fair!  Why is it that when we lose allot of weight, we lose our boobs too?  I know it is because boobs have allot of fat in them, but it just seems unair!  I have lost 120lbs from being sick (20lbs was from a panniculectomy, Feb. 25th) After I had the panniculectomy surgery, I love the way I look, except for my poor boobs!  They look and hang like flat pancakes with nipples at the bottom!  I have seen other women lose allot of weight and their boobs stay round.  Why is that?  Has anyone else experienced this too? What do you do about it? (I don't want any more surgery) It's hard to find the right bra to support and lift flat, saggy boobs to where they need to be.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Do you see the glass as half empty or half full? I say, what difference does it make--I paid for a full glass,so either way I am getting jipped!!!

Allow me to say this...... How many naked womens boobs ave u really seen?...LOL

Mine, when I am nekkid, are like ethiopian pancake boobies. HOWEVER....When I put on my new super strength wonder woman bra, they look AMAZING, & firm, & just niceeeeeeee......

So!!! I would say, a good % of women you are veiwing in a green light, have no more than a GOOD  NEW bra..... I know it helped me ALOT!!!

Oh, my goodness!  I wasn't talking about naked boobs!  LOL!!!!

But, yeah, I guess allot of women who lost allot of weight hide their saggy boobs with a good Iron Woman bra!  That's what I would need to hold these things up!  Too bad we couldn't just go to a local gas station and have them re-inflated with air!  (can you imagine the shock we would bring to our communities!)

I too have the flat deflated boobs.... I have went from a DD to a C cup and I still have over 60lbs to loose.. the more I loose the longer my boobs get... lol..

I do not know this first hand, but I heard this on here on one of the forums so I thought I would pass it along.. I was lurking and reading about bras and such and I read where one woman said that she went to Victoria Secret and bought a Wonder Bra.. I think that is what she called it.. I have it in my head Magic Bra but I think that it the label I gave in in my wishes... she claimed it was the best thing she ever did and it changed her mind on having plastic surgery.. there were many responses to her post and most were women that had bought the same bra and agreed.. Since then I have told myself that it will be my reward to myself to buy one after I reach goal..

Naked we will never look the same.. we all knew that going into this weight loss journey.. but clothes can make all the difference in the world.. and a good bra can too..

Good luck in your search for a solution.. I would pay 100 dollars for a good bra instead of the money for surgery or the pain of the recovery and the possibilities of complications. but that is just my opinion now.. who know when I reach goal weight and my boobs reach my waist what I may think.. lol..

huggs...

I love how I look in my clothes, but hate how I look naked...so I only look in the mirror when dressed! Problem solved!

Losing the weight is worth the hit taken in my vanity because I can fit in chairs, not worry about weight limits in elevators and RIDE ROLLER COASTERS!!! (just did that last week).

There are trade offs that you just gotta get used to-unless you can afford plastics that is....

I think I still have the Miracle bras I bought at Victoria's Secret from the last time I lost all the weight on my own (before I gained it all back plus an extra 20 pounds :-( ).  They do work very well but I was always very conscious that it was only an illusion.

I am really at a loss on this one. I am 6 weeks out and have already lost a cup size. I even notice it when I look down.  My boobs have always kinda hung down but with nothing in them I may just ask them to be cut off!! LOL

I really do not want or cannot afford plastic surgery. We'll see as I get thinner. My two cents.
