I am 5' and 155lbs (working on losing more after already losing 30lbs). I was just measured (after losing all that weight) to a 36G (from a 38DDD). I was wondering if a C cup was the way to go? I know I don't want to be a D! My surgery is scheduled for May 7th and I have my preop coming up this Thursday. My PS said do you want to be on the smaller or larger side of your frame? I need to ask him what those cup sizes are...any idea what would be the smaller and larger side would be?
