Hi Ladies,

I have lost over 120 pounds and up till a month ago I did not buy new bras. I know... lazy, scared who knows...

So last month went to Nordstrom, was fitted and have new bras. Let me tell you - my back feels better.

So advice - do not be like me.... go get new bras for each 25-30 pounds lost....

I lost 75 pounds before I bought new bras, just got them this weekend:) I told myself I only have about 25 pounds till goal so I should be able to still wear them as it is really just toning and some belly fat I still need to lose.

I've gotten really nice ones from the thrift shop... no need to wait so long or spend that much.

What triggered me was when I went clothes shopping and for grins tried on a cute bra. I could NOT believe how much better I looked in the clothes with a well fitting bra!

I have went from a 48 DD to a 36 C so far. I had to buy bras early on because I had a baby 6 weeks before surgery. Love buying cute bras.

I definitely need new ones. My girls fall out every time I bend forward, well unless I'm wearing a sports bra over it. I hate the thought of spending money on bras!

I guess it's that time for me. I've lost 79 pounds and I look like a homeless person. I saw myself in the mirror at the office today, and turned sideways going, 'where'd they go?!?' Lol

I'm at 40C down from a 46DD. I had no choice, my bra cups were saggy and sad looking under my clothes. First I wore a few bras that had gotten too small. Now I just buy 2 -3 and wash them out at night. I used to love having a bra wardrobe, but it doesn't make sense while I am not getting that much wear out of them.

And here's a vanity tip. When you girls are sitting where they should be it makes your torso look leaner and longer.

I think it's because it's so hard to buy nice bras in large sizes, so my mentality is that it's still going to be too hard.

Thanks for the tip!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
