A properly fitted bra, that is!

I started my LB adventure wearing a 44DD; 8 months later, I went for another fitting and I am........a 34E!!!

Holy crappola - a 34E!!!

I came home and put on a few of my recent purchases, and can't believe how different the clothes look, how different I look!

Really and truly ladies, hoist your girls to a real bra shop for a proper fitting, and see how a properly fitted bra does WONDERS for your clothes!!! Even I, who thought I knew how to measure for a bra, was impressed with the difference between what I measured, and what a professional measured. If you are not in a proper fitted bra when you do your measuring, you will continue to be in an improperly fitted one.

Treat yourself!

If you don't mind me asking where did you have the fitting done at? I have been looking to have mine redone it makes a big difference but the local store has closed so i will have to go out of town and would like an appt.

thanks

I went to a store in the town where I live - they specialize in bras and lingerie. It is the only thing they sell. Did you try googling lingerie in your city/town?

macys or dillards does fittings.....i'm a big fan of having the girls properly hoisted!!

Nordstrom has a great bra/lingerie fitting team too

Honestly, I'm a little worried about what are going to happen to my 38dddd(g) boobs when I begin to lose more weight....there's no way I want to electively have surgery again!

I will be so glad to be able to actually go into Victoria's Secret to get a bra! Never done that! But my tatas are tiny (B cup) so I pray I don't lose too much!! Thank God for padding!!

I hate wearing bras. Mine were never big to begin with, and now that I have lost weight, not only are they smaller, they are saggier and deflated. Mine only look good in clothes in a padded bra.

Obviously I cannot relate to having 'small' girls - I was first in my school to wear a bra, and it was a necessity, rather than a 'grown up' activity!

Sagging and deflated though, I can relate to - when I lie down, the girls hide in my armpits!

Omg tapshoes,

That is one of the funniest things I have read in a long time.......thanks for making my day!

I haven't lost much weight, but this is already happening to me! ***sobbing hysterically along with my husband***:thumbup:

Just an update on the girls:

I'm down 16 pounds!

My bra's are finally fitting me muuuuch better and I haven't noticed much sagging yet....woot....thank god for small miracles!

Lost weight and went for a fitting. Was down to a 42 DD. Lost more. Second fitting down to a 38 D. Now that's loose so I'm ready for my third bra refit. I'm expecting a 36 C or something around that. When I was at a normal weight 18 years ago I wore a 34 B. If I could get back to that I would be a happy camper!! they are very saggy now though. May have to knuckle under and do the padded thing. Dillard's fits me in the lingerie department. They do an excellent job. I went into Victoria's Secret to get a sexy bra fitted. They were so rude to me I left in tears. Never went back, and never will. Because I wasn't young, perky, slim, and "hot" they left me in a fitting room for almost an hour. I asked for help several times, while streams of younger ones came and went. It was humiliating. I wouldn't go there for a free bra with a coupon now. They can SHOVE IT!!

It's not inevitable though! My boobs are as big (but look bigger due to smaller chest width size) as they were pre-op.. now they look nice because they aren't like 'one with the stomach'.

Of course I say they look nice, and I certainly mean in a bra.

Without the bra.. well.. it's a sad site, something from a spam e-mail about getting old and what's her name cartoon.....Patty or Betsy something?

Do you mean Maxine?

Hi, I can totally agree with you. I first went into Victoria Secret, because it was a goal to fit into one of theirs, but the expirence was awful. They basically shoved me into a dressing room with a bunch of bras and said pick out one you like. :Dancing_sorry: So this past Monday I went into Nordstroms for a proper fitting. The girls were AWESOME!!!. They were helpful and NOT judgmental. I even was fitted for a body length SPANX. I love it. :Dancing_wub: I started lap band journey in March 08 with a 46 D and now I am a 38 DDD/E. WHOO HOO I have not been in a 38 for a very, very, very long time. So ladies please go to a place that will treat you right. The expirence of rejoicing your success is far better in a place that will treat you with respect. Congrats to everyone for your successes

Before my surgey I was fitted and I was a 42 H!!!! I hate my large breasts and cannot wait to hae something done with them...lol
