@dmr4ever I did not have reconstruction so I am flat. I haven't quite got used to not feeling anything between my chest and shirt. It's getting better and I have been out to stores without anything. Your right everyone is too busy with their own lives to even notice. Even if they did most people would not want to be rude. My bra fitting is in later April.

Good luck with everything. I ended up canceling my bra fitting. Not having to wear a bra is freeing for me. It made me feel like my original self — before boobs. I like it. There is a period of adjustment to manage self-conscious feelings. It’s been almost three years since surgery and I don’t think about it anymore. But at first there are weird moments of phantom boob confusion. It passes.
Also, I wasn’t able to tolerate a bra or even a tank for a year. That added to my unwillingness to get fitted for prosthesis. But I am glad now.
