Eric honey, you've lost over 200lbs! Don't be sad about surgery, CELEBRATE with surgery! I bet you look totally hot. I'm getting a face lift (and probably a tummy tuck) after I've been at goal for one year. (Wow. Over 200lbs! YOU are to be celebrated!)

I had always been a B cup, til I started taking the pill, and put on weight, I became a C cup. I've lost some of the weight and am still on the pill, and have remained a C cup. Sooo I'm going to guess the pill was mostly the cause there. When I get beneath 160lbs I guess I'll find out if I'll be buying B-cups again!

ahh ty

trouble is there are 40,000 reasons for me not getting surgery and they all start with a £

I had a boob job when I was 24, so even after I lose the 100+ lbs I have to go, I'll still have boobs. But they'll be really saggy, so I'll have to get a lift, and go down from a DD to a C.

If I had it to do all over again, I wouldn't have. Just remember, small girls, when you're 40, they'll still be pretty damned perky.

I breastfed my daughter on demand for two years; no problem at all with the implants (saline).

I'm sorry Eric. Any chance the NHS will pay? In Canada tummy tucks are often paid for when it's a result of massive weight loss (not too sure why anyone would need a tummy tuck EXCEPT for massive weight loss). The face lift, on the other hand, I'm on my own for.

my GP said no chance

Where do you live Eric?...

exactly!!!! here here for good bras!...

It is funny what issues we have with body satisfaction. I've lost 80 pounds, and my boobs simply won't shrink. I need a 32DD bra now. It sure was easier, cheaper and more convenient shopping when I needed a 38DD. But I would never want to regain the weight, just so I would look less like a stripper on top.

Thank God my hubby doesn't feel the same way.

Kent in the UK

Well I know of people who have had breast reductions, paid for by the N.H.S. They were mostly " chubby girls " who should have lost weight and they're wouldn't have been a problem...
You have to insist with your G.P. ( some don't want to spend the money...its to do with costs in general! Politics! ). Tell him its affecting you mentally, and lay it on THICK!... its the only way... Your obviously depressed about your situation..don't let your G.P. decide.. Insist on being refered to a Consultant to evaluate your mental state with this surgery in mind. ... Don't give up!... there is money there for this type of help...

the thing that has caught me out is how painful loose skin is, its for ever folding and pinching, especially on my back whilst i sleep, wakes me up every time i move ..

i have never seen anyone mention this

You get back there and insist your G.P. referes you to a Consultant...your in pain with this for goodness sake.... All the more reason for an intervention..the quality of your life is being hindered.. INSIST! please.... you are the perfect candidate for help.
