BRA SIZE

I HAVE A QUES TO THE LADIES THAT HAVE HAD THE BAND FOR A WHILE NOW DO YOU REALLY SEE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR BRA SIZE, BECAUSE MY SURGEONS'S NURSE THINKS I SHOULD HAVE A BREAST REDUCTION, AND I DO NOT WANT TO :(

I notice that all of my bras are big now that I have lost 26lbs...

as far as having a breast reduction...Wait on it until you reach our goal then judge FOR YOURSELF...

I'm down 2 sizes& went from a C to a B cup since surgery!:unsure:

i'm also interested in this question. i'm only about 3 weeks post op, and am a size DD. i'm realllyyyy hoping that theres a lot of fat in my breasts and once i lose weight my bra size will decrease as well! i do have to say though, that ive lost about 20 pounds since the day of my operation, and im currently wearing a bra that i used to "muffin top" over, for lack of a better word and it no longer does that! i definitely agree with zeniada though, wait until you reach goal then decide for yourself! :)

I was happy to see this post as I thought it was just me.

Down 25 lbs and went from a 46 to a 42 (sports bras)

Put on an old regular bra 38C, a little tight but the cup was right used to be a D.

I have lost 104lbs; I was a 44dd, I am a 36c. I wear a d cup, tho' because to me the c is just not comfortable, yet. I love to shop at Victoria Secret instead of Lane Bryant or wherever we fat girls had to shop. Don' t do anything yet. It is far to soon to be talking about a breast reduction. My breast are saggy, but I think that when most woman are my age(62), they are saggy. I can say for my 40 year old daughter, her breast look great! She never really had cleavage when she was fatter. She does now,and looks good. Go for a nice fitting wherever you shop when you need an adjustment. Karen(kll724)

I agree with those who said wait until you are at goal to even think about doing anything with the girls. At that time it is YOUR personal choice, not the nurse's or anyone else's.

I went from a 42DD to a 36C after 111 pounds lost.

I would wait until you reach your goal weight. I am 44 yrs old & 44DD. I hope to get back to a 38C. Age may change this. Is so then I will get my boob reduction then. I to could have one now too but I would like to do natural first.

42D to a 36C.

Why does the nurse think you need a reduction? Are you having back pain/problems? If not, say thank you for your input.

If there is no medical reason for it, and you don't want it. Don't do it!

I was wearing a 46C before beginning my pre-op diet, then down to 46B on surgery day. Today, at 4 weeks post op, I can comfortably hook the 46B on the next tighter eye, but the cup is too big. The extra fabric scrunches under my shirt and looks awful. In the meantime, for work I lay a folded up sock inside my bra underneath to help fill out the cup so it doesn't look so bad. When the band part is too big, then I'll buy a smaller cup size as well (geez, that's going to be an A.....)

7 mos ago I was at Lane Bryant and the sized me at a 42 DDD!!!! WTH??? but it was comfy... I think their sizes run on the BIG size though, now that I am 6 mos into my journey I am able to hook the 3rd eye and the cup is too big kinda like what AquarianCrab said the cup is big...

Have not put socks in my bra though I'll just go get new ones when the hook part of the bra is too big.

I spent hundreds of dollars at LB for Bras not about to do it again anytime soon...
