Removed Subgladular Saline Breast Implants After 15 Years - Toronto, ON

In 1997 I had Saline implants put in above the muscle to improve the look of my breasts and to fill out the sagging skin from 2 pregnancies. I weighed approximately 110lbs and was a large B small C (depending on the bra) before surgery. After surgery I was a 34D and 15yrs later and about 15lbs heavier, I am a 36DD (probably bigger) and I have a lot more breast tissue than I did @ 25 years old. I originally had the implants put in to help with my self image, however, after I realized that I was attracting the wrong attention. I am in a different place in my life and with teenaged kids, I want to be able to exercise and not have my boobs get in the way and I want to be able to buy tops that fit me properly. Because I have a small frame and I have to buy tops bigger to accommodate the 'girls', I end up looking heavier that I am. Reading this site inspired me to share my story. I have my surgery booked to have the implants removed on September 13th and can't wait! Luckily in Canada the procedure is free. I will post pictures of me pre-op and post-op soon. Thank you to all the ladies on this site for the inspiration. You all look fabulous after your implant removal. I can't wait to look and feel the same! :-) I have one question...How do you know what size of sports bra to get for after your surgery? I'm having a heard time figuring this out because I want the bra to be super supportive. I appreciate any advice or helpful hints. :-0

How long should I wait before I start wearing or get sized for a regular bra? Should I go to a Victoria's Secret to get sized or a specialty store? I appreciate any suggestions...
I will try to post some pics soon. :-)
