I never spent a lot of money on bras as I was losing. I would go buy cheap ones from Walmart until now. I love Lane Bryants bras they are very supportive.

I always bought Lane Bryant bras. They really last and hold up well, no pun intended.

Went to get just one Thursday and they no longer make my favorite bra in anything below a 40,

so I went to Target and bought a cheap one.

Oh man I wear lane Bryant bras I never thought about being too small for them... Hey sounds like a great problem to have to me :-)

Lane Bryant makes 36 b and you can use last hooks to take on other inch or two off. I'll be sorry if I get smaller than that cuz I love their push-up bras!

I just went to lane Bryant and was measured and got 2 new bras. The fit good and hold up the girls nicely. Seems like the consensus is Lane Bryant.

I was wearing Victoria Secret bras because my daughter bought me a couple and I found them exciting to know that I can wear their's now. but, I have noticed that due to the girls having no substance to them, they fell out. So my local dept staore was having a sale and I bought 3 Platex for full figures, and they keep the girls(36d) where they belong.

Kll724,

I got up this morning to read your post and cracked up laughing. That was the reason I was looking for new bras. I am very far from goal but the girls seem to be going South and I need something to pick them up.

I bought bras that were too small in the band and used an extension. I need a lot of support and found the more inexpensive bras didn't have enough for me. The extender made them fit for quite a while.

Being as I'm a healthy D even after losing 170 pounds I really like Playtex 18 hour. If you live near a Playtex outlet you can get really good sales also they have great sales online.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
