Unexpected NSV

[melmommy04 23]

Wow. I already have National Geographic boobs that, when unleashed, point straight down. And I'm pre-op....

Ugh. Me too! I mentioned that little factor to my SO last night and he said well... Boobs are boobs... They don't define you. BUT. He's not understanding.... Boobs kinda do define women. So I'm a little concerned there but not enough to let it change my mind about RNY! (:

I know I am late to the party, but have to ask. When you first lost a significant amount of weight, enough so that you needed new bras, did you get measured first? I need some desperately but feel overwhelmed going into a store and having no idea what size to pick. Started as a 38 DDD. Think I may be a 36 c now but not sure.

@@kay1117 It is probably a good idea to get measured. However, there was no way I was letting anyone measure my 43 year old, post weight loss, saggy boob self!! I just tried on a gazillion sizes and styles until I figured out what worked for me.

Plus, right after I lost the bulk of my weight I was very uncomfortable in the clothing retail environment. I felt like a fraud shopping in the "normal" section. However, now I prance right in and grab my size 6-8 stuff!!
