IT IS KINDA DIFFERENT HERE BECAUSE I AM IN GERMANY AND WE ARE DEAING WITH A GERMAN DR AND MILITARY INSURANCE....SO ANYWAYS I GO MONDAY AND ALL THE OTHER ARMY WIFES I HAVE TALKED TO SAID THAT HE USUALY SCHEDUALS THE ACTUAL SURGERY 1 WEEK AFTER YOUR FIRST APPT. THAT IS JUST NUTS...THAT WOULD MEAN THAT IN 2 WEEKS I AM GOING TO HAVE THIS DONE...NOW I AM NOT FOR SURE AND I WONT HOLD MY BREATH. SO UNTIL THEN I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS...

1. FOR THE FEMALES OF COURSE...DID ANY OF YOU GIRLS LOSE YOUR "LADIES"? I HAVE BEEN A DD MOSTLY ALL MY LIFE AND EVEN THOUGH THEY HURT MY BACK I DON'T WANT THEM LOOKING LIKE TUBE SOCKS WITH GOLF BALLS IN THEM LOL...

2.DID ANY OF GO SHOPPING BEFORE YOU DROPPED WEIGHT? I CAN'T HELP BUT WANTING TO GO SHOPPING BUT I REFUSE TO BY MY SIZE AND MY GERMAN SIZE HERE IS A 50 AND THAT MAKES YOU FEEL HUGE! WICH AMERICAN ITS 18 LOL..SO DID ANY OF YOU GO SHOPPING BEFORE HAND?

3. GOING TANNING...IS THERE ANYTHING WRONG WITH TANNING RIGHT AFTER WLS? I JUST DON'T WANT IT TO EFFECT ME IN ANY WRONG WAYS IF YALL KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

4. FEET....OKAY SO MY MOM SAID THAT HER FEET SHRANK WHEN SHE LOTS ALOT OF WEIGHT. LOL HONESTLY...HAS THAT HAPPEND TO ANYONE? LOL.

5.AND FOR THE MARRIED ONES...WORRIED ABOUT MY HUSBAND....MY HUSBAND AND I ARE HIGHSCHOOL SWEETHEARTS AND I LOVE HIM MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WORLD AS WELL AS HE DOES ME.  HE IS 23 AND I AM 22 AND WE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER 6 YEARS. WE HAVE GONE THROUGH SO MUCH TOGETHER ALMOST EVERYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF.  BUT I AM SCARED THAT HE IS GOING TO BECOME JEALOUS OR BE AFRAID OF ME BEING MORE CONFIDENT...NOW I KNOW MY HUSBAND AND I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE THAT WAY...BUT WE NEVER HAVE BEEN THROUGH SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND I KNOW A FEW PEOPLE WHOS HUSBANDS HAVE LEFT THEM BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T HANDLE IT.  MY HUSBAND RAPID DEPLOYS TO WAR ZONES...AND I WANT TO MAKE HIM FEEL AS COMPFORTABLE AS POSSIBLE....ANY HELPFUL HINTS ON THIS?

 Hey! 

1 - Yes, my boobs have shrunk and I don't like it much....I refer to them as week old party balloons.  I hope one day to get a breast augmentation.

2.  I didn't but I didn't need to.  Try to find some good thrift stores if you can, at least it will save you money if you  have to go.  

3 - Never been tanning, natural fair skinned, red-head...it would be a waste of money for me.  

4 - My feet are the same thus far. 

5 - My husband is thrilled with my new body.  He couldn't be more supportive and he loves the way I look and feel.  He's not the jealous type at all, so we don't have that issue.    Don't worry so much about this, your relationship wont change unless one of you let's it.  

Good luck!!

hey bobeye, i am 8 weeks out and had my surgery on 3/30. hope this helps ya! 

1. i have gone a few inches off my chest so far. i think once i get more proportioned i will be look hot in that area. i feel like all im losing right now is my butt and boobies, but i know in the end itll be all good! 

2. a month prior to surgery i stopped buying anything, clothes, shoes, etc. i normally love to shop, but why bother when u arent going to fit into those bigger clothes in a month or have no idea what sizes you may jump down to?


3. ive asked this before to about tanning and all the responses have been that its not goingto hurt you at all. youll be fine. i love being tan! 

4. my feet have def gotten smaller! i used to be like a 10 1/2 and now i am about a 9 1/2. i dont feel like i have monster feet anymore!

5.listen, if you guys are super in love, hes going to accept you no matter what. i would not worry about or be scared. my boyfriend has been thru all my ups and downs of wls surgery and hes a great support system. if youve been thru 6 years together thru thick and think i can pretty much say i think you guys will be ok.. and when he gets back from deployment the sex will be AMAZING! ive lost 53 pounds so far and sack sessions have gone from eh to wow i want it again!!!

have a great rest of the week!! xoxoxooxo

 Hi there, welcome to the world of WLS, and the roller coaster ride.... 

1) yup my lovely lady lumps are almost gone, i nursed my son and gained a lot up to a 38 D woo hooo, now i'm down to like a 32 B. booo booo... Keep in mind your chest is nothing but FAT, so your body is going to eat away at that fat.. your hips and butt too... I my face and boobies where the first i notice getting smaller.. Oh and my arms, go fig that one..

2) i got me a goal out fit, for 6 months out, i bought a cute matching set of panites and bra from Victoria Secert,  shorts, and a cute top. I'm four months out and  guess what, it fits me, and its loose.. 
It has been three long summers of not wearhing shorts due to stumpy legs, and this summer my legs will see SUN damn it, and they will.. I went from a size very tight 24 to a loose 14 in four months... 

3) Tanning, oh if i'm not our on our trampoline worshiping the sun, i'm in a tanning bed.. 
I do make sure i get plenty of water, both will dehydrate you badly... I think i look much thinner tanned and more toned but that is my opion, i don't get the orange burnt suit case brown, i get just enough color... 

4) God i hope my feet don't get any smaller, i wear a 4 1/2 in kids, but i 'll buy like a 5 1/2 in women's so it don't look weird. I'm bearly 5 foot tall so yeah i have tinny feet. But i have notice they aren't so puffy anymore. Not sure if  i'm loosing water weight or because im toting around so much weight anymore... 

5) my husband has seen me go from a fit 96 pounds before navy boot camp to 265 hippo... 
We have been married 9 years, i know he loves me, he was so excited to have the real me back and happy again. He says i just shine now because i feel so great... 
I know that he gets insurce about things because our neighbors or his fellow marines tell him wow your wife is looking good, no sure if its like wow your wife is hot, or wow that surgery and your wife is doing great.. so i have to remind him all the time that i will never leave him.. he is my bestest buddy in the world, when he is deployed i am home sick because home is with him... 
so don't worry about it, you guys love one another you can get through this... i promise..

I'm almost a year out so here's how its been for me:

1. mine have shrunk a bit but its mostly any firmness that was there is basically gone now!  I've gone from a 40DD to a 36DD.

2. I did not go shopping before hand but like Emily said you might want to check out some thrift stores because it is sooo much cheaper!

3. I did not go tanning right after because I wanted my scars to heal as naturally as possible, I just started back tanning 2 months ago.

4.  I have gone from an 8-8 1/2 to a 7 and its weird b/c my toes seem longer now that they're not as fat!

5. I have been with my bf since before my surgery and it has not affected us at all outside going out to eat is much cheaper now!  He is very supportive and tells me I look great all the time even though he thought I looked great before.  Just be your normal self and let him know you arn't going anywhere ;)

Good luck Bobbye!  You are going to do great!

Hi girl. U Must be so excited!

about ur cuestions.

1.- I didn´t lose my girls lol. they shrank in proportion to my weight lose. i have a normal size i was 40 C or small D. before surgery and no i`m a 36 C  so is not a big diference tho. and don´t worry u can get fix that latter it will worth it.

2.- stay away from stores if you need to shope 4 something that u really need do it you can have it fixed latter. by  a taylor.  buy purses and shoes!!! lol.

3.- tanning is not a good idea after surgery `cuz of the scars. it would be harder to get rid of them latterif you get tan.

4.- youp your feet would shrank but not 2 much maybe !/2 size `cuz ur feet will lose a lil of fat 2. lol

5.- i`m not married and i cannot give u any advice. just enjoy ur marriage i most be great to have the kindda relation ship that u have with ur hubby. just make sure u have all his support u are gonna need it. : )

good luck! and keep us posted

1. my boobs look like those of an 80 year old now... I went from a full D to a mostly excess skin B

2. no, its not worth it...

3. most docs reccomend keeping your incisions covered if you do, otherwise you are fine to go

4. i went from a 9.5 shoe to an 8/8.5
