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?

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!

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 ;)

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!

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!

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 !

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.

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.

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.

LOL! Streetlights! I will have to check out the genie bra. 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.

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.

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
