Lorraine.. good luck with the surgery tomorrow, you will do just fine! I will send loads of positive thoughts and healing energies your way!

I have a question in regards to post op clothing after surgery/ going home from hospital. I have watched a lot of videos on youtube and a lot of women have said they wore a sports bra home and during the first 2 weeks of healing. Being a plus sized woman with a well developed chest, I have always avoided sports bras because they tend not to fit properly once you get into the D sized cups and beyond. Do any of you have any suggestions? Are you going home braless?? Any advice would be welcome.

Great question! I have an ample bosom as well and will be wearing just a soft cup bra home. Whatever you're most comfortable with though. I also have a bra that hooks in the front that I also contemplated wearing. Good luck and Godspeed to you...and your twins!

aww thanks, Ashlee... I am leaning towards the soft cup and contemplating the front closure, that way I won't have to fasten in front and twirl around to the back for a back closure bra. The ladies, (aka the twins) will be fine.. I hope. Thanks for your great video on what to bring, I started writing my list thanks to you!

Ashlee,

My surgery is this Wednesday June 25!! I am flippin out!

I wrote down all you suggested and will ask my Dr about gas-X.

I was also planning on writing myself a letter....so when you mentioned doing so, it really hit home for me.

I have such a wonderful, amazing, loving family and I want to be healthy and live life to its fullest...instead of not being able to do almost anything at all as is right now.....

Please keep my in your prayers this week... I may have to have the open RNY instead of laparoscopically as I am having a lap band removed that just did nothing but cause major problems/more health issues.

I am scared. Scared to the core of my soul. yet NOt having this surgery makes me even more scared.

Being morbidly obese is nothing until I hit 50... OMG my body cannot do this at all any more---at all,
