DEFINITELY WAIT. I was similar to you in breast size.
The issue post surgery will be different than now. You will lose fat in your breasts. The skin is the big reason to wait. I would plan on having breast surgery, if you have any, about a year after bypass.
Be prepared that your boobs may look, as Carnie Wilson said "like tubesocks holding a roll of nickels." It's that rough for some unfortunately.
I'm familiar with the pain from how big they are, but in the long run you WILL be VERY glad you waited until you had bypass, lost the substantial amount of weight you will lose, and THEN have your breasts examined and addressed regarding surgery.

Funny aside: I've been big my whole life since they sprouted. After bypass I kept my D size. BUT when I had a huge life loss, I lost a lot of weight and was bony as hell. I went down to a low B cup. That's what happens when my weight drops STILL. 10-15 lbs. now can mean the difference between a low C and a full D. But then we're all different. I know.
