WORTH IT
The most fascinating thing is that I went from a 32 to a 34/36. I'm currently wearing a 36 C. I wear the Anita sports bra that I recovered in. It's the most comfortable; I've tried others, but I'll stick with this one. I've gained about 8 lbs. during the pandemic, so that's made my boobs fuller, of course. It's SO worth it!!!

It's likely the 8lbs that changed your band size not the surgery.

7 months!

It’s been 7 months, and wow, it’s taken this long for the swelling to go down. I’m down to a D. Feels great! Hoping to shrink to a C by the summer. Fingers crossed!

Bras!

snobbyblog
I went to my local amazing bra store, and got fitted. The woman helping me said I'm ready for Step 2. I tried on 3 bras, and I liked (and bought) 2 of them. The tan one is Wacoal, a brand I've worn for years, and the other is a sports bra-Anita, a European brand. The kicker is that before my surgery, I was a 32 DDD, and the bras that I bought were 34 DD! This surgery really messes with your mind sometimes. She said I'm still swollen (hence the side fat in tan bra), but I will see a noticeable difference in 6 months. I've known this all all along, but it's still hard to hear. Anyway, it felt fantastic to have on a regular bra again, and not a post-surgical one. It was so cute, it was like a kid getting new shoes. She said, "Do you want to wear it now?" I didn't; took them home to wash first. They were expensive, about $50 each, but I'd rather have the support and just chalk it up to an added cost of the surgery. I've gone through and will go through many bras between now and next summer. I want to save them all and maybe do an art installation! Ha ha!

I'm going to look into ordering these. I could go to Lady Grace, too, since I live not far from Brookline. As for sizes--I started out a 38H and now I am a 40 or 38 D--so still in that D family. And side boobage? Got plenty of that!

Oh, hi, neighbor! : ) Lady Grace is the best. I tell everyone to go there. The Brookline location is moving in November, I think, to Newton Highlands.
