I am in the beginning phases of getting GB surgery. I don't have a date yet, but have to go through the nutritional counseling and have the psych eval next week. I'm looking at probably late summer, early fall for the surgery. My dilemma is my boobs. They are huge. Even when I weighed 150 (before kids), they were big (at least a DD). I've been approved by insurance for breast reduction surgery, but told the surgeon that I want to lose the weight first.
I'm not sure what to do. I had lost around 50 pounds a couple of years ago, and my cup size stayed the same (it's got to be up in the Z's by now--do they have that size?). I'm not sure whether or not I should get the reduction done first or see what happens after the bypass. I'm no spring chicken and know that they're going to sag either way.
Has anyone ever had this problem that could advise me? Do it get it done first, or wait? My back is really hurting me carrying these melons around--yet everything hurts due to the weight too. I barely qualify for the GB surgery. In fact, they advised me to try to maintain my weight because if I lose too much I won't qualify. The plastic surgeon said it would only make me about 3 pounds lighter. But I don't want to end up with boobs down to my waist.
Any thoughts?
