I am 6 days post-op and no underwire for me! I tried yesterday and it made my port incision really sore. I am wearing the 'leisure bras' no problem right now, but its iffy for work.

I was able to wear underwear okay. I'm not sure if I wore a bra home or not. I would suggest very lose fitting close. Try and stay away from anything with button or zipper. Spandex would be better or a lose fitting dress. The port site will be the sorest. Good luck.

o2bthin thank you for the info. I was told not to wear an underwire for a couple of days after the surgery. And since we still want to look cute after our proceedure I will definetly look for those sets at Walmart.< /p>

I flew home on the 3rd day, snd going braless was NOT an option!!! I wore an older one, that was not underwire, and had been washed to softness. I wore elastic waist pants, and a pull over tshirt type of top. I also made sure to wear slip on shoes, since you have to remove them in security at the airport, and bending to tie shoes might be painful.

The girls laid heavy on my incisions, so I kept them bandaged longer than recommended, but, they healed well.

Go for comfort.....don't waste your money on cute new jammies for the hospital---they will be too big in a matter of 2 weeks time!!!!!

That's what it's all about!!!! WooooHoooo!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
