okay so before surgery I was a 38 DD and that was getting a bit small for me but now that I have lost weight ( most of which I think came from my boobs) all I have are empty bags hanging from my ribs!! I cant seem to find any stores or brands that fit right and make them look presentable and I cant afford implants. does any one have a good sugestions on where I can find something good?

Maidenform and Izod bras have been my best bra buys. I went from a 40/42 D/DD depending on the bra to a tiny 32B, and that was only because of the skin bags.

As for where I've found them, Ross, TJMaxx, and Beall's Outlet have been my go-to places to purchase bras. The demi-bra seems to be the very best option to give my boobs the lift and appearance under clothing that I prefer.

How about a masectomy bra just until you firm up a bit? Also some of the high end department stores have "fitters" who will be of a great help. --or a good sports bra...

At the 4 month mark my Daughter said to me, " Mom it is time for some new bras" So she was in charge.

We went to layne bryat and she got me these bras to try that are padded with a bump in the bottom of the inside up. At first I did not like them, but when I look down now ( with shirt on) I feel like a I have a rack again:)

Same here I put on a bra and the girls just sort of puddle at the bottom of the cups! So sad. I have been wearing sports bras they even have them with under wire and Maidenform has these bras that fit two sizes the ones I have will fit 36B to 38C.

I only wear bras from Lane Bryant- I absolutely love them.Even though my breast are shrinking I still look like I have nice round boobs with their bras. Last time I went in LB was 2 weeks ago and I was told I was at 42D from a 48I and I do need new bras badly but I'm going to wear these until I absolutely can't wear them anymore :)

I found these absolutely amazing bras from Kohl's. It's the Daisy Fuentes brand and they pump me up to look like my original size. Literally in the last 10 Lbs I've lost I've gone from an average D to what seems to be a small C now. They are still shrinking like mad even now!! Uggh I hate it... however, I LOVE THESE BRAS!! They make me look like a D or full D again. Give them a try on there, and put your shirt over it. Best. Bras. Ever.

These will just have to do until I get my augmentation done in September. :D

What size are you thinking about going to with your augmentation? I have too much boobies lol. But I definitely will need a lift out of this world lol. Even when I was in highschool someone made a comment to me about needing to wear better bras cause my boobs hung low. (I wanted to slap them lol) but yeah, I wonder will my lift come out ok w/o an implant?

I haven't had a consult yet but I'm thinking I can get away with no lift - or a very minor one. I'm going to get back up to a full D minimum - maybe DD if I like how it looks when I try on the cutlets. Full D is my original size and they never gave me back pain nor did they keep me from being able to do my runs. I'm not worried about any of that, I just want my normal size back and if not then a little bit bigger! :P

Not only that I do plan to have some Lipo done on my inner knee areas. I think that will relieve some of the flab I have going on there and give me better ease of movement on my legs and much better shape. Yayyy I can't wait!!!

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      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! 🤣
