Help with bras

So very few of my bra's fit any more after losing more then 100 lbs.  I find I wear too many sports bras which are fine going to work but I need a few really good bras that fit proper and don't give the uniboob like the sports bras do.
I have gone to a number of stores to try bras on and am getting frustrated.  The problem is so much loose skin, mainly under my arms that bulge over the bra.
Anybody else find a solution to this, brand or even just bra type to look for?

Have you tried going to a really good bra store. I'm not talking Victorias Secret, or La Senza, but an actual store where they don't just hire teenagers and give them a tape measure.

The one we have near where i live is called Brabary The bras can be quite expensive, but they do hire mature women who know what they're talking about. You don't necessarily have to buy the bra there, but you can take what you've learned and apply it to bras you buy elsewhere.

Thanks Monica. 
I live in a small town but go to Guelph often enought im sure I could find a good bra store there.  Your right I did get measured at La Senza and she told me I was a 38 E cup but she recommended a balcony bra as the best for me and my boobs are not full enough anymore to fill out the top of that bra.

 If ever you go to the states in Buffalo they have a fantastic bra place.  Lane Bryant and no it is not only for big women.  Yes granted there is clothing for the more volumptuous women but they do have nice fancy and comfy small bras.

Love the bras from Lane Bryant and almost all my old bras were from her line and bought off ebay.

I find the only bras I can wear comfortably are Olga can get them at the bay and sears.

 I have this same exact problem. I have lost 125 lbs and  though my cup size is very large i am only 36 around and its hard to find a bra that is big enough cup size without having to get at least a 38 around and then it slides up my back and i dont get the support i need.

 i noticed you had your surgery with Dr Reed... if you are in the guelph area try Viccanies (sp) they are right down town by the bike shop...

there is also dhalias (sp) she is located in the grange and victoria plaze by the global pet foods.

Im about an hour north of Guelph but Guelph would be where I have to go.  I don't know my way around town too well however but can google those stores thanks.

 from the hospital.... 
Viccanies
exit the main parking lot from Dr Reeds office and make a left.. go to the light and turn right onto Eramosa road.... follow that into the downtown core (2 sets of lights) the street will turn to the left... right after the first set of lights once you are in the downtown core viccanies is on the left side. .. parking is not the best...http://vicanies.com/Locations--and--Hours.php


Dalias
again from dr reeds office make a left to the lights make a left onto Eramosa road. Follow Eramosa to Victoria road (7-11 on the corner) make  right onto Victoria ... follow that till you come to Grange (before grange you will pass St John catholic elementary school and A catholic church I thinks its St James on the left side of the road) at that light is Grange... turn left there.. you will come into the plaza from the rear... this plaza is split into 3 sections.. one has the Home hardware in it.. (on the left)  there is one srtaight ahead with a dollar store and a sushi joint in it... the 3rd one has the pet foot store and Dalias .. http://daliaelegantlingerie.com/
