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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
