Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

I have had good experience with bra fittings at Nordstrom, but I've had even better experience with bra fittings at local lingerie stores that specialize in mastectomy products as well. Unfortunately the one near me closed a few years ago. I agree with everyone who said to get a bra fitting. I haven't had surgery yet, but a number of years ago I lost 100 lbs and while I lost band size my breasts didn't get much smaller. I find underwires so uncomfortable that I just wear sports bras all the time now even though they look like crap...
I agree with this. I don't know where you live, but see if there is a bra specialty shop in your area that specializes in fittings and mastectomy fittings. In my area there is a great one that I go to.

I would bet you’re smaller than a 36 band size! I think I remember you mentioning plastic surgery? I had mine in January. My poor boobs were just empty sacks. Now post PS I’m a 32F. They’re awesome :) I can go braless if I like and they stay put.

Right now I’m a 44F! I can’t wait to get rid of some of this bill and be able to buy cute, lacy bras

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
