Hello ladies. I just got sleeved a little over a week ago on may 17th. Im a big chested girl at 40d. I havent been able to put on a bra because its really uncomfortable against my incision. Any suggestions??

I am a 40 D as well and I went without a bra for two weeks while I was at home. Once the smaller incisions closed and somewhat healed; it was a lot easier

hmmm- I never had this issue and ive got large "girls" too.

Try wearing a sports bra and/or tanks with built in support. My best guess is that you have underwires rubbing- and based upon where my incisions were placed, that means your underwires are too low and you need a new bra (or to snug up the shoulder straps). But that is based upon my incisions- yours may be higher.

Also- good news on the horizion- as my belly shrunk- my breasts no longer rest against it! So even if your incisions are higher and none of the above solutions work for you.... its just a short-term problem for you.

Happy healing and congrats on the sleeve!

Sports bra is what I used to. I am 40DD.. Well used to be lol. It adds just enough support without the pinching. I can stand when they are free... lol

I don't like the girls bopping around either, but you just gotta be all natural (think of this as your way of sticking it to the man) its just a short time, don't do anything that causes uncomfort or rubs the incisions

I got a couple tank tops w/ built in bra...they were like $9 @ walmart. I'm very big chested (still....even after 74# loss) & wear a 42H & they work for me. I think they only go to 2x but I'get been wearing them since about 260 w/o issue other than a little side spillage. Added bonus....of they're a little tight in the tummy it's sort of like a compression garment

hmmm- I never had this issue and ive got large "girls" too.

Thanks calikat and congrats on your sleeve as well! My surgery wasn't done laproscopically it was an open incision. So my incision is from right under my chest area to my belly button. Because i am so big chested bras without underwire do nothing for the girls. Im gonna wait it out. *sighs*

I'm a 38G, so they're VERY substantial, and I used a sports bra for the first week or so.
