I love reading people's experiences...boost to my confidence. But I haven't found anyone as large as me...230 lbs to lose at least 30lbs before surgery prob in the Spring. Dr didn't think getting my present size of a whopping 40K approved through insurance. It prob takes nerve on your part to post pics....but very appreciative to help prepare myself on what to expect. Since I'll be getting rid of so much (to a D or DD), I fear afterwards of missing them as well as losing sensation or tissue/nipple dying (which dr says is in only about 1% of the patients). Curious on your thoughts as you progress though getting used to the newer you. However, I have not found anyone regretting the surgery.

I'm almost 3 weeks post op (Surgery was 09/30/13). I lost almost 50lbs before my surgery. I started at 217 February 18 and was 169 on the day of my surgery. I was a G cup. Not sure what I am now due to the swelling. As far as nipple sensation, mine feel like they are more sensitive than they were before the surgery. The surgery was worth it even though my breast looked a little strange afterwards. Nevertheless, they look different with every passing week. Best of luck to you.

Hello honey good to know are experiences help. They sure did help me as well. Surgery was yesterday and i didnt have not one nerves bone in my body. Yes it will be best if u lose the weight first because your boobies will ger smaller with the weigjt lost but it not dont let that stop u. I put it off twice because of my weight. Im not where i wanted to be but i will have a easier time losing the weight not there not so heavy. U are fearful of the same things i was worried about at first. Good thing i do have the sensation in my nipples same day. Yay Your surgent wont take your boobies down to small for yo frame. So i dont think u will miss them. You'll probably be so proud there standing up. My boobies are cute but im not in love yet. In days im sure ill like them more when they get there shape. Ther not really small because where so use to them sagging them being up is big to me now. So good look, over all it was worth it .

ok so I went in yesterday for my markings. i've been so excited all day. 7hrs from now i will be crossed over. I am to report in at 5:30am and my surgery is at 7:30. i did not buy a sports bra because i didn't to get one to small or to big. Just looking at the markings i am already so happy. OMG... i can't believe this day is really here. i've put this off so many times. I started at 215lbs and my final weight is 186. 6lbs to my goal but its cool because after i cross over and heal up im on. Fatten this belly and tone up... oh yessssss
