how much did you change in size? This is the next procedure I'm going to do and was wondering. By breasts were 44DD and now I call them 38 longs, lol.
they're so empty. I don't want to aug my breasts so I'm wondering how much peope changed when they did the BL.

Before my RNY I wore 50DDD. After I lost all my weght, I wore a 34DDD, but it was all skin. I just had a lift and I think I will be between a B and C cup when all is said and done (haven't been bra shopping yet- I'm still wearing sports bras). I plan on getting implants in the future. I miss the fullness on top.

At 250, I was a 44DD. Now I'm 38C. After my lift, my size did not change! My bras fit much better and I don't have to 'fold' them in, lol! They go right in and stay in place!

I was a 36 DD before the surgery. The surgeon said the lift shouldn't change my bra size. A couple months after the surgery I went and had a bra fitting - I now wear a 36E. They said about 80% of women wear the wrong size bra - guess I was one of them.

I thought DD was the same as E...

At my heaviest, 225, I was wearing 46DD, after my DS, 40D, after my lift 38D. Mine were like pancakes, but there was enough to keep them a D. The left was reduced a bit as it was larger. They don't flop around anymore :)

good to hear that they don't change too much after the BL. I don't want to be smaller than a C......

At my largest I was a 52DDD. I was a 46DD before RNY. I was a 38D before plastics. I thought originally I might just do a breast lift. My PS confirmed what I thought though about lack of fullness. I wanted a full Vicky Secret C. I had a lift and saline implants. With the swelling, I think I'm at least a D. He also did lipo on the sides of my breasts. They look really nice. What I would think about if I were you is the lack of fullness you may have after. I looked at a lot of before and afters without implants and I thought implants looked better. It's all in what look you want. One thing I didn't expect is that I have smaller armpits!!!! Love it!
I told my surgeon to get rid of my National Geographics (38 longs that looked like I never wore a bra!). He thought that was hilarious. My tummy tuck (fleur de lis) was the surgery I definately had to have but the lift and implants was the extra for me!

I just had a BL 6 days ago so I can't be sure what the end results will actually be, but I was a 32D before this surgery. Well, my left was a D, the right was closer to a C and they were so empty of any tissue that they layed flat against my chest like two pancakes!!

I was worried about them being too small after just a lift - but I didn't want implants. So far they are fitting nicely inside some old 34D bras that I had in a drawer. They aren't very swollen and so I figure they will stay a C or small D cup.

I was also worried becasue I had a reduction 16 years ago (way before the RNY) and so lots of tissue was already removed. Back then I was a 42 DDD and they removed 5lbs - enough to make me a nice full C cup. I was worried that I wouldn't enough tissue to make anything decent this go around.

Luckily it all seems to have worked out OK. I'll have some pics to post in a few days.
