Is anyone out there having a problem with wearing bras for too many hrs? I am 4 weeks post-op today and cannot stand wearing a bra for too long! I have tried different bras and even with sport bras I have the same problem! Will this go away soon? I have to take the bra off right when I get home!

I am almost one year post op and have lost almost 100 pounds.I think a lot of fat came off my shoulders(hahaha!), right where the bra straps lie. I get a " pinchy,sharp pain in that spot.....It feels better when I get the straps off!

Try wearing a strapless bra if the straps bother you.... If its not the straps, what about the bra is irritating you?

It's not the straps it's the underside although I have no under wires and it isn't tight. I feel like I have a tight belt around under my breasts all the time even if I'm not wearing a bra!

Maybe go to the store and try on a couple of different styles? Is it rising too high or too low? Bras definitely serve their purpose but mine always comes off when I get home and am in for the night. But I've always been like that so for me it had nothing to do with surgery! :-). But if it feels that way for you even without the bra on could it be your posture? I find out that mine bothers me more when I tend to slouch and if I straighten up it feels better. Not sure if that would help? I tend to slouch when I'm sitting at work and not even realize it.

Right above one of my incisions my bra hits so it feels like I have to itch and adjust all the time and it's right above my port whichis a little to the side and mine is a front closure , but for the first 2 months I wore a sport bra so I wouldn't have anything irritating me but now it's just once in a while and untill I get to my goal weight I am trying not to buy any clothes , however I have lost 50lbs n 5 months and my bra straps do slip off my shoulders lol so I adjust., just like I'm adjusting to losing weight and eating.

My bra also drives me crazy now. I do the very same thing...take it off as soon as I get home. It feels like my breasts put a ton of pressure on my sternum area...very uncomfortable.
