I have a rather short torso & I am finding it uncomfortable to wear a bra post op due to the bottom of the bra being against the edge of the area where I'm still swollen by my port. Underwires are out & I know a lot of people like those genie bras but I found them to be even worse. Has any one else had this problem?

Were they the same size as pre-op?

I, also, wore a sports bra after surgery. It, usually, gets better. Karen

I am 8 weeks out and I started wearing my regular bra. I also used a front opening sports bra.

Wow, 8 wks?! I lost 27 lbs pre-op & was already my the last hooks. I took the measurments & saw I'd should be shopping for a different size, I wonder if that will be even different 8 wks from now? And here is something I have wondered for yrs.....why do they always put the bigger bras on the bottom of the racks, don't they realize it is harder for us to get down there? This was even before I was overweight...I swear I woke up at age 11 w/these things...poor girls aren't always what they are cracked up to be :rolleyes:.

Thanks for the replies, I did find some comfy ones by Danskin today. I used to have great luck at Fashion Bug, now that they are out of buisness I will miss them when I seriously need to stock up.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
