    I'm 65 and 100 pounds down, 20 more to go. I am sagging all over and i do mean all over. My boobs were never perky, even in my teens, so you can imagine where they are now. I truly am "Maxine" personified :-( I'm getting my upper arms and boobs done at the same time. The surgeon says it will be more economical and practical to do both and i can wear a full upper body pressure garment for healing. I didn't want implants but he says i will be frustrated with the sagginess at the top of my boobs if i don't. I believe him because they are so unbelievably stretched out. My plan is to do my tummy, and maybe my butt (It is completely gone!) next year.

    It's good to connect with the losers on this forum. Honestly, i didn't even notice it anI'veve been on the website for a long time.....duh......

    I think it's all personal preference, I was a 36C in the 3rd grade and now at 50, I am a sagging 42DDD.... I hate them and always have...even without losing weight I would love to be a B or small C . My daughter is 17 and is a 36DDD , when she turns 21, she gets some of her trust fund money just to have reduction if she still wants one

    I have always wanted my boobs to stick out farther than my belly does! lol Right now that takes at least a DD. When I had my double mastectomy, the Dr asked where I would like to be afterwards. I told him back to my DD's as I'm doing WLS, I'd like to have something left. Well, he got a little crazy with my left side and it's now closer to a DDD. After my weight loss, I'll go back and have the Dr lift them up some more, put my nipples back on, and get where I want to be!! And the good thing is, the insurance with pay for it!!

    Ok, since we're on the subject of boobs. I wonder why mine aren't getting any smaller as I lose weight. With previous weight loss attempts it seems that my boobs were always the first to go. I was always rather small chested but now I'm losing weight everywhere but my boobs. Now I have shirts that will fit but are tight across the bust. I don't understand. Has anyone else noticed this? Pre surg, I wore at 40 or 42 C and now I'm probably a 38 or 40 C. I really need to go get fit, I guess. But I really hope they shrink a little.

    How old are you? Hormones might have something to do with it.

    Ask your surgeon what he would recommend for your frame, Amy. You will want something perky and looking great in your clothes..too small and you might be disappointed...too big and you might be overwhelmed. Your Dr. can give you some implants to slip inside your bra for a good idea of the sizes. Congratulations!!!

    PS...did anyone see the procedure Suzanne Somers had on her breasts where they took fat out of her body and processed it somehow and injected it into her breasts??? I would have amazing boobs if I had that done!!!

    To my knowledge, insurance will not pay for any type of plastic surgery. I am 53 years old and my surgery is scheduled for July 21st in Mexicali. I am excited and nervous, I a planning a full "C" cup myself. I really don't need more. I just want them to stay put.

    After consulting with women who have had boobs done and others who might have a personal investment in what size mine are, and without consulting with Jersey John, i have decided to go with "C" cup. I have been "D", double "D" and triple "D" all my life, but now that i am petite (I can't believe that!) it seems like a "C" is what's right for me. As a friend who also has a petite body frame said, "You don't want to look like an exotic dancer!" (Jersey John may disagree with that, but nobody wants to see a 65 y/o exotic dancer ;-)

    I'm scheduled for 8/22 with Dr. Bello in Mexicali. He will be doing it at the same hospital where i had my sleeve done. Fantastic place, wonderful service and i can stay two or three nights. He doesn't care. I love the medical tourism industry in MX! I'm also getting my upper arms done at the same time. Getting a better deal price-wise and will wear one pressure garment to deal with both areas. I'll let you know how it turns out.

    Most insurance will pay for plastic surgery in a few limited cases - i.e. breast reconstruction (including implants) after a mastectomy... If insurance covered your WLS, there is a chance they will pay for a tummy tuck too. I hear the key though is to start complaining to your doctor at every visit how the hanging skin is causing rashes, etc. (ie. it should be "medically" necessary not just cosmetic ). Insurance will often pay for a breast reduction as well - if you meet the guidelines (size of breasts proportionately to physical body build, back issues you have complained about, indents in your shoulders from bras, etc). So if you want any hope of insurance helping out - start complaining at every doctor visit about SOMETHING LOL

    I am sure you will look great Amy - I dont know about those implants though!! He seems to push that... sure he knows what he is doing but its kind of counter-intuitive if you want them smaller! Good luck! I am sure Jersey John would love to see before and after photos... especially after

    I am so with you on the small boobs! Mine were always rather large. I was a size 36DD prior to surgery. Now I'm wearing a C cup. I want to get a lift but definitely not implants. I think a C cup is big enough. In fact, I'd even be happy with a B considering i'm petite (5'1") and proud of it!
