I haven't lost as much as you have. I've lost 120 lbs. However, I am experiencing the same issue. I find myself slouching when I sit, and trying to sit straight hurts really bad. I had large breasts before gb surgery, and was considering reduction. I have an appointment 3/3 with a plastic surgeon. I just simply can't take it anymore. I feel your pain!

after that much weight loss and the girls are still the same size then I think you own them the way they are.... some of us would kill to have retained what we had, you should see the alternative, not pretty. I know the thought of another surgery is unappealing but i bet you could get the reduction covered by insurance due to your back issues, check it out, sorry for your discomfort, does walking make your back feel better, it does for me by my back wasnt hurting due to carrying the girls, just carrying all my excess weight.

christine, i agree with a portion of you reply for niki. I have checked with my doctor and insurance, and it is covered when there are health issues such as the back pain niki is describing. Walking helps, but let's just be realistic.. you can't walk all the time. And the back pain really is uncomfortable. It's funny that people always say that they would kill to have what we have (the girls) but.. you have to walk a mile in our shoes. Yes, it's a nice visual asset, but...God does not want us to go through life being visually uncomfortable. T

christine, think of how you felt when people said that you had an attractive face. Are you just a face?

I'm so sorry you're having problems, fortunately I lost alot of mine with the weight loss. Boobs were really not a big issue for me, except when I slept and they smothered me. I'm glad the bulk is gone, maybe I don't like the way they hang but at least i don't have back pain anymore because of them. I hope you find a way to solve your problem.

Geez! I WISH!!

I started as a B/C and have since gone BACKWARD thru the alpha bet...I think I'm an R now... :o/

When I was a teen, My stepsisters used to tease me that I was indented...It's far worse now!

God Bless!

I feel you Nikki! I have alway had HUGE girls DDD at least! I have lost 150 pounds previously on my own before WLS and they never shrunk...
Now here is the kicker! After WLS that is the FIRST place I am loosing it?!?!?!
I always thought that I would have to get a reduction after loosing my weight but now I am thinking I will need an implant!
So don't give up hope, you may loose them... I did and THANK GOD! But the saggy flaps of skin with a nipple at the end of it is a little disturbing too LOL :)

First of all - AWESOME job on the 150 pounds!! Amazing!!!

I don't think that Christine meant what she said in any sort of hurtful or negative way. I think she was just pointing out that those of us with Girls who are now flapping at our knees might wish that we had bigger ones to start with.

I think having already lost 150 pounds, and none coming from that area already, it's pretty safe to say you are stuck with them at that size. How much more weight do you have to lose until your goal weight? If it's alot, then maybe some will come off from the chest area. But if you're almost at goal? I'd maybe start looking into alternatives, like perhaps a breast reduction?

I totally think that insurance would cover a breast reduction for you, Niki. I used to be an insurance adjuster at a health insurance company and we covered breast reductions ALL the time. Especially because you are in all of this pain. Just document, document, document. And then have your doctor submit a pre-determination. I bet you will be approved in no time!!

The best of luck to you and keep us updated!!

Thanks everyone for your replies, I know what Christine meant! No harm done. I am down to a 36DDD, yes I said down. I think I am gonna have to go get them reduced at this point. Even if I were to start losing them at this point I don't think I would lose enough to be comfortable. My doctor is all for me doing what I am most comfortable with , I think I will continue to wear my regular bra under the sports bra it seems to help with support a bit until I hit my goal weight, I know if they aren'g gone by then they aren't gonna! 60 more pounds to go, hopefully about 20 in that area! lol
