Hi Leslie
After my mastectomy, which was also in the summer, I wore short sleeved t-shirts with a light weight vest over top. I didn't zip-up the vest, so with the vest being loose, it wasn't as noticeable that I was a "one boob wonder". My husband reminded me many times that people were not staring at my chest all the time. As for bras, I bought a sports bra that fastened at the front, and I bought it in a larger size so it didn't hurt on the surgery side. Good luck with this, and remember that most people won't be looking at you that closely!!
