tonyarenee 18 Posted October 24, 2012 Hey ladies! I'm post op (10/11) and down 22 lbs. I've started noticing my bras no longer fit, which is great in my book because I dreadddddd my boobs. How long before you went bra shopping? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katnroyal 225 Posted October 24, 2012 When the bra no longer served its purpose, I went and bought a new one, usually just one or two. My issue is I am getting smaller around but my cup size is staying the same so bras are getting are to find lol! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kmoore 97 Posted October 24, 2012 Girl I work with had her sleeve done 10 months ago...said she bought a couple of sports bras (elastic) to hold her over until the boob shrinkage slowed 1 Susie in Lima reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
misstiffsue 62 Posted October 24, 2012 Well you are a lucky one because these babies haven't shrunk a single cup size and I had surgery on 9/24! 22lbs is awsome if I were you I would Celebrate by getting myself a new bra! 1 kmoore reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MinaT 669 Posted October 24, 2012 I wear sports bra mostly for that reason. I used to have frontal dd cups and side c cups. I used to feel like I had four boobs. I am happier about the weight loss in my chest more than any other thing thing. I don't feel like I am suffocating any longer! 1 kmoore reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonyarenee 18 Posted October 24, 2012 the sports bra is a great idea. my bras usually cost 40-50 a piece and i'd hate to keep spending ! as far as cup size its probably the same but the rest isnt ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fattymcfatterson 107 Posted October 24, 2012 Check out the genie bra. THey do a little more then a sports bra, hold up really well in the wash and you can get 2 for $20 at Walmart and many other places. VERY COMFORTABLE!! But my lame boobs still sag. NOthing helps these streetlights. 2 delta_girl and kmoore reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First I've heard that exp<b></b>ression...funny' date=' but sad at the same time because I know I'll be heading down THAT street! :/[/quote'] At least the lights are on! Lol! I am 8 weeks out and went from a 48 DDD to 42 DD. I suffered with that huge bra for a bit because they are so expensive but I absolutely had to go! If you have a fashion bug near you they are going out of business and I got my bras 60% off. You could check online if you don't have one near you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robynluevano 85 Posted October 25, 2012 I haven't gone, but I am holding out. I want to go to Victoria's Secret. I can't wear one of the bras I have at all bc it is huge & goes up way too high on my chest. Looks funny. Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never heard of them, but I am sure I will need something for when I start dropping sizes myself. YEARS ago I was a 38C...now up to 44DD. I would LOVE to get back to a more reasonable size.

Carol Watts 67 Posted November 19, 2012 I am 6 weeks post op. I just had to go buy a bra. I was in a 44 C now in a 40 B. I only have about 75 more pounds to loose. I have already lost 37 between before and since surgery. It is really sad when I have a 14 year old granddaughter that has more boob's than I do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PerfectlyImperfect 49 Posted November 19, 2012 I just went and got fitted for one. I have them custom made because my cup size is a FF. my band went down but the boobs are exactly the same. I'm 7 weeks tomorrow. I had no choice the band went from a 46 to a 42 and it was getting way to big. I'm going to hold off for the next one as long as possible. My girl made my new one slightly snug and added 2 extra rows of hooks. This way I can keep this one longer. I wish I could wear a sports bra but these babies just won't fit in there. I'd look like I'm smuggling twins or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
