I have really been trying not to buy any clothes for a while but my bras are huge and they often come undone. Could you all suggest what bras you like. I do not wear underwire. I really appreciate some suggestions. Thanks.

I bought cheap bras while I was losing because I knew I wouldn't be at that size in the end...so i went to target and found a couple I liked for the interim. I couldn't tell you what names they were....sorry

I don't buy these on this website, but here are the ones I really like, no wire, support, and really comfortable. I finally broke down and bought some last night, had the same problem as you: http://www.herroom.com/vanity-fair-71380-beautiful-benefits-back-smoothing-full-figure-bra.shtml

As much as it makes me feel like an old lady I have to say 18 hour by Playtex. The reason why makes me feel old is because that's the brand my mother has worn for so long as I can remember. But the reality is it's a great brand especially if you're a D or DD. Buy 1 in the store where you can try it on and get the size on the largest hook. That way you can tighten it up as you lose weight. You can buy Playtex 18 hour from their website at a significant savings from the store price.

The good news is you might find underwire bras more comfortable as you lose weight. I never wore them much before and now even my sports bras have them. And.it's a good thing, as they provide a little better support which some of us need moving out of the double letter.cup sizes!

A specialist once told me we should try to wear sports bras as much as possible and just keep the fancy ones fir going out. Much better for stopping the droop :)

Hi everyone I was wondering.. I am a 44ddd and underwire is the only thing that supports me. Now my question is this they normally put the port near the boob right. So I'm worried my bra is going to b in the way or either irritate the port site. Any of you have some insight?

My port was a good ways below the bra line. You should have no trouble.

I buy bras from Lane Bryant. I do prefer underwire but they have some that aren't. They are pricey but worth it in my opinion! I try to buy when they're having a buy-2-get-2-free sale. Part of the reason I like them is that their underwires stay put. I've never had one poke through the fabric like I used to have happen with cheaper bras. Having my boobs in the right spot in important to me lol. I think I spent a total of $80 for 4 bras last time I bought them, and they have lasted a year. It's time to buy some more but I think I'm close to dropping a size so I'm holding out for the moment.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
