Sports/support Bra post Ld

I am just home following Ld recon with quite a large implant, my consultant is not totaly happy with my Asda sports bra it is a 42c, i told him its difficult to buy a bra when you have no boob to put into it, i also sent for some offline but the fit was poor, m&s are always out of stock so any advice would be appreciated

Hi Megsmum,

 

I had an LD recon in 2011 and had a procedure to reduce my healthy breast to match in Feb 2013.  Both times I had to wear a sport bra 24/7 for six weeks.  Like you I got told the one I had bought wasn’t right!

 

I bought a Triumph triaction (not the extreme version) which you can buy online or from places like John Lewis or House of Fraser.  To be honest, I still fall back on these as they are comfy.

 

One way to get them is from Amazon here: amazon.co.uk/Triumph-Tri-Action-Workout-Womens-White/dp/B000S5PK0C/ref=sr_1_sc_2?s=sports&ie=UTF8&qid=1377377885&sr=1-2-spell&keywords=triumph+tricaction

 

You might need to look around a bit to find your size… as we all do.
