I have steri strips on my incisions, did anyone cover their incisions or protect them somehow when putting on regular clothing? I have been wearing really lose clothing since surgery (July 9th), but I really need to leave the house and need to wear more snug clothing. Any suggestions, or should I not worry?

My incisions were glued but quite tender to touch. I wore a snug camisole under my regular clothes to prevent rubbing. If you have a binder from your doctor that works very well too.

Other than wearing an undershirt i did not. i did get a tiny bit of leakage; which I knew was going to happen, but blood will wash out of a white undershirt.

Thank you both, I appreciate it!

Spanx tank tops are great. I still wear them and am convinced they helped speed up my weight loss!! Good luck!

i had surgery 7/2 and i've been wearing dresses that dont press down at the waist. i had dermabond glue on the incisions, although those are gone now.

taarific... how soon did you start wearing the spanx? i've always worn a spanx type high waisted thing that sucked my flabs in... but i've been scared to use them yet. but it would be nice and to wear pants again. (besides my loose PJs )

I took my strips off on the fourth day. They were itchy and irritating my skin.

I have had "moobs" since age 15 (and I wasn't overweight then). I recently bought a couple Gynecomastia Chest Binder shirts..to flatten my unflattering moobs. I have a feeling I'm gonna have to have surgery to have them removed.
