@Abbydog and @Afraser thank you both for sharing your thoughts and experiences.
Good news that the sozo is easy - that will make for a nice change after the testing poking and prodding (necessary I know) so far. They are talking rebaseline as you’ve said.
I went to shop for some post surgery bras today and lost it in the change rooms. It was a lot of things all at once - how awful and unattractive the bra made me look and feel, how this was just the beginning and how I have always just taken my breasts for granted (maybe not the right words).
I have to apologise if this sounds insensitive - given all of your experiences. It’s just how I was feeling.

I left that shop and marched myself to Kmart. I figured if I didn’t get it done today, I wouldn’t go back. I ended up finding some cheaper and ok (still not amazing but less surgical feeling) ones.
I wondering if the bras are just about being front fastening and no underwire or do they need to be really supportive too (how much is enough?)? I already wear bras with no underwire and they are soft. I’ll follow up with the breast care nurse this week.
It’s a roller coaster and I am sure this will be one of many times I feel like this. I’ll also consider seeing a Counsellor at some stage, I’d say.
Ps I also bought a chocolate Easter rabbit at Kmart. I’ve been off chocolate since last year - so thought, this calls for it. I’m sure I sound silly!).
Thank you both again,
