Default PS question

I read all the posts on PS.I have lost 87 lbs and the tummy looks pretty good but my Boooooooooobbbbbbbbbbssssssssss...even working for vickies can't help.
You would think the weight loss would mean smaller breast but not here.They are getting longer(sorry for the visual).Question~will getting a breast reduction be a hrad as a TT?They must weigh 10 lbs each.When is a good time to start looking into PS...after a year?Two ?

Any thoughts welcomed~Van

Can you throw them over your shoulder yet

My boobies were a walk in the park compared to my TT. I've had no pain in them at all. A reduction may be more painful as there's skin and tissue removed. My TT however, was miserable to recover from. With a TT, you have a lot more skin involved and greater risk for complications.


You should be at a stable weight near goal before considering PS. Some people recommend waiting 18+ months post bypass before thinking about it. It depends on the person. Doesn't hurt to have a consultation and see what the surgeon says. At least then you have a ballpark idea where to start.
