Bra Re-sizing
Funny you bring this up, I went for a fitting today, I have gone from a 44dd to a 36b and I am delighted. This is the first time in my life that my boobs are not going through the door before me.

I hate bra shopping because I'm an awkward size (44B although I can get away with 44C if I have to). Keep in mind that the cup size is proportional to the band size. What I mean by this is that for example a C cup that is a 44 is bigger than a C cup in a 36.
There was a time when I was a 42 B but because they were hard to find I would have to go with a smaller band size and get an extender and it would be a 38C that I would have to get. So it is definitely possible to go down in band width but up in cup size!

Apparently the majority of us are wearing a too small cup size to begin with, so if your cup size has gone up, it's possible you weren't wearing the right size pre-WL. I am down one size and 1 cup.
Had RNY surgery July 22/11, St. Joe's Hamilton, with the awesome Dr. Scott Gmora. Had abdominoplasty August 2/13, Scarborough, with equally awesome Dr. Michael Kreidstein.
I swear that my breasts are the only thing on me that is undersized! If I could "re-position" my belly fat, I'd be in a DDD too! Now I'm barely a 'B'. Hate to think what they'll be like after surgery. One girl who lives here in town had her panni and breast augmentation done at the same time a year or so after surgery. She looks fantastic - very natural. Here's to folding, tucking, painting and plucking - oh the things we do for "beauty"! Cheers, Sandy
pedlsanCAN, I hear that! I've always carried my weight in my hips to knees area. I never was top-heavy. I say I've got an hourglass figure with most of the sand in the bottom!
Monica, I was measured before to get the 46C size by the same woman who measured me this week. She's a great lady who works at the Penningtons near me. I know it's all the extra skin being tucked in that makes the cup bigger. Maybe I'll have any extra fat from my thighs/hips repositioned north when I get my tummy tuck!!

MY RNY DIDN'T FAIL ME - I FAILED IT.
I've never had much in the way of boobs, 40B (tight) at the largest. The latest bras I bought are gaping at the cups now. I think I might be a 36A (A!!!) now and, even though they're small, they still manage to reside somewhere near my armpits when I'm braless and laying on my side!
