 |  Bodacious Flap Jacks!!!
Ok...I'll start off by saying...I"VE ALWAYS HAD A RACK....people have dreamt about them....I even had a guy sing to them once....I usually wear something that hints at cleavage to show them off......hell...I have 2 tattoos on one!! They were INFAMOUSLY known in our old AOL circle...as the BODACIOUS TA TAS.....
Well...let me tell you...the ta tas are NO MORE.....I started this journey off in a 44DDD.....I got new bras this past weekend, and I'm now wearing a 36DD (very comfortably, I might add). If not for all the excess skin, I'm sure the cup size would be DRAMATICALLY smaller....when I take my over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder off at night, the dagum things dang near fall to my waist.....
I NEVER EVER considered a breast lift when this started, and I'm terrified they will want to do the anchor cut, move my nipples north (messing up my piercings) and leave a horrible scar. I'm hoping to discuss my dissatisfaction of this option with the plastic surgeon in a couple of weeks....
The good news in all of this....I"M 8 INCHES SMALLER AROUND!!!! (yep...yep...I can find a silver lining ANYWHERE....ASK ME HOW!!!)  |

See if you can find a surgeon that can do the one where they go in via the belly button and anchor them up. If they're too far gone, which I can relate to, yes, the anchor cut is the only way. Just remember what your Bypass scars looked like a year later, the scarring will be so light after a few years. Mine hasn't shrunk yet either, still a DD, but if the skin was gone, I'd prolly be a D. Good luck, I'm sure your gonna get them fixed. Do you get any rashing or splitting underneath your breasts or your tummy? Start getting your doc to chart it and get ins to cover it.

I used to have terrible rashes under the tummy....but since losing the weight and working out....I don't seem to get them anymore....actually, the stomach is the least of my worries...turns out, it's not as bad as the flap jacks!! (no rashes there either...YET!!!) The funny thing?? My daughter wears a 36C (she's nearly 14)....so now, we're the same size around, just different cup sizes!!! (my size 4 jeans are getting baggy in the butt too!!!)

You have done so well Kath, I am sure they will find a way to lift the TA TA's for you in a way that will look right, I have no problems in that area mine are so small I am sure by the end of my year the will be saggy fried eggs, I hope not would like something there.

I told 2 of my good guy mates that I was having this surgery...the first thing both of them said? "you wont lose your boobs will you? that would be criminal and there should be a law against it!" they dont know each other, but they said almost exactly the same thing!!! lmao
they have already shrunk...... *sigh*
Oh well, to be honest, I would rather wear a push up bra for the rest of my days as long as my weight and health are good. (but still...  boohoooooo!)

I know the feeling Kathy. I started out in a 44DD and I am down to a 36/38 C. It almost makes me want to cry, sometimes.

Kath~ you are soooo freakin' funny!!! You just come right out and say what other's are thinking about themselves. I was looking at my ta ta's this morning and thinking.. hopefully, this time next year I'll have had my surgery and will have said good by to these big girls. I'm in a 44 DDD and just from having kids, they've started flattening out... they're going to be empty socks with a stone at the bottom soon. I'm already getting my mind geared up that I"m having a tummy tuck and a boob job. Hubby likes my boobs and so do I. I don't think I'd make them as big as they were though. My back hurt sometimes.
As for the surgery... I just saw a couple of breast surgeries on Plastic Surgery, Before and After where they removed the nipples on both jobs they showed, and afterwards, the women looked normal.. very little scaring around the nipple, if any because they do it right where the colored nipple met the white of the breast and it just looked like the aeriola (sp) blending in with the breast.
