Hopes pic shows...

Ooh - Looks lovely - LOL

Have had to contact the web-site about the sizing. As I have no idea which one to get (lol)

http://www.esshop.co.uk/downloads/size_chart.pdf

It says to go via Under Bust size and arm size... But I am in two sizes then (Small and Medium) No Idea which one to get...

Under Bust I am 29.5 inches

On Bust at the moment I am 36.5 inches (Will be smaller tho after but no idea how much as having reduction)

On Biceps I am 11.25 (Will also be smaller after but no idea what size)

I also emailed the Plastic Surgeon to ask Him which size to get - I don't want one too small (As would be ouchy on arms)

And yet if I get one too loose under Bust I would have no support (?)

Can anyone help me know which size to get?

Thank You.

Hi Sue. I was just out on a website to also order a compression garment for me as I'm having BR on April 22 and I'm 40" around at the body and am aiming for a large B or small C in the end and I know I'll have some swelling so I'm trying to decide which to order for me because it says a large is 38-40" and XL is 42" and I know I have to wear this garment for awhile and so I don't want to get the XL but I'm concerned about how tight a L is going to be if its for 38-40" -- I guess I'll call the web site customer service too! Thanks for that idea.

Here is the website I was checking out:

When my friend had breast implants - she was told to get a size smaller bra so that it holds firmer (This made sense to me as after having my babies I always wore 2 bras so it held firmer and took that concrete boob feeling away a bit) So I guess if the under bust for me is a bit looser than I would like - I can always add another bra on top maybe...

I like the sizing on your site more - it says (for me) I would need a medium for the arm bit - I am just worried if I get the medium and the under bust bit is too loose that i would not get the benefit

Thus far I keep getting conflicting information as to whether I need to get one or if the hospital provide me with one LOL - So I am sizing as if i need one till I find out for sure. (The black ones on the site I use would make a nice top also after lol) I might just see who says what so when the person says if I do or dont need it 100% then i will just try on the larger one as they are meant to be 'snug but not uncomfortable' I'll (If i do need it) try on the medium first and if that is too loose then exchange it for the small...

Time will tell......... (Well somebody better decide and tell me or I wont have one and so far two people said i do need one and two people said i dont)

Can you ask them how tight the sleeves are and what you do if you are between two sizes - Do you go smaler or larger. (My people arent answering as yet)

My surgery is also on April 22nd!

Had a reply from the people - She said ''We go by your measurements as you are now. Therefore we would usually recommend you go for a small garment to ensure you get enough compression. ''

So they go by the measurements you are now.....

Wow - Me - possibly a small - Ooh freaky *giggles* But I have been told to try the medium first if I need one of these as they come up really small...

      Saw my PCP & officially started my 6 month supervised diet 07/26/24. She just told me to eat less carbs & sugar, use the air fryer and not fry my foods in grease, and to try to walk 30 minutes 3 days a week & if I can't do that (and I cannot), to walk 10 minutes daily. Told me to walk fast enough that my heart rate is raised.  She didn't give me a number as far as calories though. A year or so ago I was doing low carb/sugar free and keeping my calories at 1800 or below. She said I should up my cals to 2000 at that time, so that's what I'm shooting for now.
      Hubby walked with me today. He's in pretty bad shape so I was surprised he wanted to. We walked down the gravel road at a pretty good pace (for us LOL). 10 minutes walking and my heart rate was 115bps according to my Fitbit and 125bps according to his pulsometer. Either way, it was elevated and I was breathing hard. Doesn't sound like a lot, but it's a start. We'll do it again tomorrow. 😁
      I should be hearing from the surgeon soon. She said if I didn't, to call him next week. Since I HAVE to do the 6 month diet & that's going to put me into January by the time it's done, I'm hoping the surgeon will let me do all my testing in January. I don't want to do it all now and have my deductible get met, only to have to pay the deductible again in January or February for my surgery. Praying that things go the way I hope. 🙏

      Factors Affecting the Growth of the Alternative Sweeteners Industry:
      Health Consciousness: The increasing awareness among individuals about the health issues linked to high sugar consumption, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, is supporting the market growth. Consumers are becoming more health-conscious and seeking products that can provide sweetness without the negative health effects associated with sugar. This shift in consumer preferences is leading to a greater demand for low-calorie and natural sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit, and erythritol. These sweeteners offer the added benefit of having minimal impact on blood glucose levels, making them suitable for diabetic and health-conscious individuals.
      Technological Advancements: Innovations in the production and formulation of alternative sweeteners are impelling the market growth. Advancements in biotechnology and food science are leading to the development of high-intensity sweeteners with improved taste profiles and functional properties. Innovations in fermentation processes enhance the production efficiency and quality of natural sweeteners like stevia and monk fruit. These technological improvements are making alternative sweeteners more appealing to both manufacturers and consumers. Enhanced stability, solubility, and sweetness intensity allow these sweeteners to be used in a wide range of products, ranging from beverages to baked goods.
      Consumer Trends and Preferences: Evolving consumer trends and preferences are playing a significant role in driving the alternative sweeteners market. The growing demand for clean-label products, which are healthier and free from artificial ingredients, is offering a favorable market outlook. Consumers are increasingly seeking natural and plant-based sweeteners, aligning with broader trends toward plant-based diets and veganism. Besides this, there is an increase in the demand for low-calorie and sugar-free alternatives that support weight management and overall wellness.
