Bra's??
Watch for a bra fitting clinic at your local department store, or go to Nordstrom's (if nearby) or a high end lingerie shop. These places will have trained fitters who KNOW their merchandise. After my weight loss, I bought 2 good (= expensive) bras at Nordstrom, and learned a lot about what to look for on my next trip to TJ Maxx.

I went to JC Penny and they fitted me. I was so far off in my sizing the lady was such a huge help! I think after surgery I will be in a training bra so this won't be a problem!

Cannot recommend Nordstrom highly enough! They really know their stuff, and will help you find not only the correct size, but the correct bra! Bras that I liked to wear pre op no longer work-- I need a 'formed' cup now, as anything else is too saggy.
A good fitting bra will make all the difference in how you look and how clothes fit. It is worth paying $$ for. You only need two-- alternate wearing them, and wash after third wearing.

Nordstrom's, Nordstrom's, Nordstroms! I cannot say it enough. Well worth the extra money for a bra that fits and keeps the girls in place. Expect to spend about $70 on one bra. It seemed expensive to me at first, but nothing's too good for my girls 
And as another poster mentioned, once you get one from there, shopping at other stores is much easier. Here is what I learned from my fitting. American women tend to select the wrong band size. Having a smaller band provides more lift in the cups. Who knew?!

Try going to Victoria's Secret or someplace similar. They do complimentary bra fittings and will work with you to find a style that fits your shape. I just went for the first time a couple of weeks ago and was impressed (a little broker for the price of the bra!!! LOL) with the service. My 14 year old daughter also got her first bra fitting (I knew she was done with training bras) and the difference it made in her self-esteem (she is tiny-4'10"; 88lbs). The 32A and the style they found for her made such a difference-not just in how she looks, but more importantly how she feels to be a young woman. It was the topic of conversation in the car pool the next morning.
