Welcome to the community! How exciting that you are all approved so quickly.
How much weight are you wanting to lose? Prior to the tummy tuck consult had you thought about a breast reduction?

I had my breast reduction and went from a DDD to a full C. Then after the surgery I lost 60 pounds and ended up a B cup. I love it and happy for the total outcome. My sensitivity is still here and I do not have any issues. However, this can be one of the side effects from the surgery. You have to weigh out the pros and cons.

I guess a lot of this would depend on how small you want to be with the end result.

Hello Kimmers!!!! I have thought about a breast reduction before. I am a 42 DDD. I can fit a 40 DD. My insurance wants the Dr. too take out at least 900ccs in each breast that will put me at a small C full B.

everyone says that if I get that size I will be too small but I'm getting a tummy tuck and lipo to my back at the same time so I think small breast would compliment it well.

That is a large volume reduction. But either a B or C cup is a very nice size. You will be so comfortable when its done.

Yes they make some really nice padded push up bras! You can always get a little fluff and lift going.

I totally understand that you want to be smaller. I would have the same concern about waiting. I myself started out small breasted when I became pregnant with our children. With each child my breast grew and never shrank. Which resulted in me having breast reduction with lift a year ago. My mom was the same way. I would look at your mom and your dads mom and find out how they developed. That would give you an idea on to expect your body to change with pregnancy. It is my understanding that you can still breast feed and speaking for myself, I didn't lose sensitivity in my breast. I hope that helps!!

Recliner is ordered!

I ordered a recliner to recover in. Had to find something that didn't sit too low so I can get in and out of it. I made sure I got power because I wont be able to use my stomach muscles to close the chair. I also made sure I got the fabric/leather protection since this will be like my bed for 6 wks.
