Question:
Im am a big breasted women. Will I lose my breasts?

I weigh 329. I wear a 40D bra. I was wondering if I am going to lose my breasts. I hope they reduce but hope to not come out flat chested    — marissajmp (posted on October 13, 2009)

I don't want to discourage you but mine have absolutely deflated, they are still there but they look like tube socks with marbles in the bottom of them! I had surgery 6/17/09, I have lost 91.5 pounds. I started out 46D, now I'm pretty much a 40 rolled up D.

i went from a 42D to a 36C and my boobs are kind of shriveled and wrinkly. not a pretty sight.... but DEFINITELY more attractive than being MO.

Oh my! Seeing the answers to this is scaring me!! I have lost 54lbs thus far and have lost some but not much and have not had to change sizes just yet but do wear my bra tighter now. It seems to be all in poportion. I would think that cardio would tighten this area up as well...Best of luck to you!

I have not had surgery as of yet but that is also a fear of mine. Right now I wear a 44D and I think that my breast are too small now so what will they look like after I lose 200lbs.

HI I had the RNY on 2/19/09. I started at 300 lbs and now weigh 179. My initial breast size was 42DD. I am now a 36C. It's not that bad. The size is still there. My only complaint is that they're not as firm and sag more than before. People have definately noticed the change in my chest size. Maybe in the future I'll get a lift but for now push up bras will do. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I just had a breast reduction back in December. I learned about size. LOL I have gained and lost 50 pounds several times over the year and never lost in that area. I was disappointed because the only thing that ever changed was my band size. When I saw the surgeon I learned that some people have dense breasts and some have fatty. If you have dense, you likely don't lose much when you lose weight. If you have fatty, you will lose alot. I went from a DDD/F to a B and that was 7 pounds worth. You may be able to answer your own question based on what has happened in previous diet attempts.

Well I weighed 212 and now weigh 112 I went from a 42 D to a 34B and I am delighted in my clothes which I can now wear cute little tops in small. In person the girls look a little worn but I am 58 so that is OK I think the younger you are the better chance you have of keeping some shape without implants, but I agree with the tube sock theory.

I am also big breasted - or was, sort of - I was a 46 GG - I am now a 40 E - but they hang so bad - it is like looking at pancakes hanging down on the front of me! I have lost 150 lbs and still have a ways to go, but plan on having breast reconstruction - there is supposedly enough fat on the sides, etc. that things can be built up without implants and give me decent size breasts. But it is so much better than having all that extra weight on me!

It really does depend on your build and makeup but I doubt they'll go away completely. I was wearing a 44G/H and after less than 1 yr (gastric bypass) and 120+ lbs lost I just bought a 40C in one style and a 40D in another. I'm thrilled about that but... they're pretty much bags now, could literally tuck them into my belt. Depressing at age 32, but that's what augmentation (and push-up bras!) are for. ;)

Well Reading all the comments I thought that I would put in my 2 cents so to speak...LOL I had a breast reduction back in 2001 and I was still obese at that time. Then I lost weight now and I am on the surgical waiting for RNY. (Meeting with surgeon in DEC) funny thing is this. I lost weight and really noticable in my back so yes the bra size goes down but now with age being a contributing factor now (46yrs)With the weight loss that my "boobs" are loose and yes hanging. Hubby tells me that I look boob wise normal for my age. But being a woman I want those teen boobs back BUT>>> I am told by my doctor that after the surgery (RNY) that I would be eligable for one free government funded surgery (CANADA)and I would have to choose one of the following. Tummy, interior legs or interior arms or breasts. From where I stand at this moment I will be choosing the tummy as the tummy is now loose and hanging (pre-op weight loss)so I can only imagine how much more hanging it will be post surgery and final weight loss. Boobs are able to be hidden with a good light foam padded bra I use that now Looks wonderful like teen boobies again!Yea for camouflage!!! LOL. But the tummy.... is another thing even a "old fashioned girdle won't help for me" Mabey I could borrow a wheel barrow??? Anyone offering one?? PLEASE??? cheap??? LOL

you will go down... I went back to my original size. I have always been large so after I reached my goal I was back down to a 38D which is where I was before I gained all my weight. The only real issue is them bouncing off my knees because I they are sagging... They make good bra's for that (LOL)

Hi I can tell you this much...I was a 44 DD and now I am a 36 D, but my breasts are proportional to my body. Naked..I look awful..My boobs are soft and squishy and I have some hanging skin around my belly, butt, but I feel so much better! If I was younger (or single) I would consider surgery to fix the areas, but I am 45 married and my hubby doesn't seem to mind my new body. I lost 120 pounds and I am short..4'11. If you are young, you may not get like me. But then again, you may...but who cares? You will be healthier and feel so much better! My daughter is 23 and had surgery done this passed June. She has about 150 lbs to lose and will sag, but it didn't stop her. She wants to FEEL good. Looking good is only part of the package any ways. And as I said, there is surgery to fix that. And I do look good in clothes. No one could ever tell I was fat. I hope this doesn't discourage you. This surgery saved me in so many ways. I hope it will save you too! hugs n God Bless, Kim

A lot depends on your age and hormonal levels as far as cup size goes. You will lose quite a bit in your back. I started out being a 44D and after losing 70 pounds I am down to a size 40B. I am very happy with my smaller breasts. Even though I am 56 years old they are still firm and not droopy. Breasts are mainly fat tissue, just keep that in mind.

We all lose weight in different areas first. As far as me though, I went from a 46DDD to about a 34C. I actually like the girls sooo much better.

Hello - had RNY in 9/2006 and lost 200+ pounds. The girls went from a 44G to a 32-34D. Yes, they changed significantly and they don't look very attractive (tube socks with golf balls at the end is a good analogy). But as another poster said I am thrilled with the small tops I can wear now and a good push-up bra works ok. In time I may have reconstructive surgery, but the weight loss and how good I feel by far outweighs any concerns I have about my chest area.

In case you are worried about what men will think of them, there are plenty that love saggy boobs (take my bf for example) lol good luck. I hope mine don't deflate too much. Currently a 46DDD, but I have always had big ones even when I was thin. Been wearing a real bra since third grade. Widh me luck too!

You will most likely lose some. Mine have done the tube sock thing also. My friends and I joke that pretty soon I won't need to wear a bra because I will just be able to tuck them into the waist of my pants. LOL Like the others here, it is worth the exchange to be healthy!
