Got a "Day after Surgery" Question.



Recommended Posts

When you leave the hospital the next day, Will I be able to wear my Bra? Most of you know what I am saying. My girls are too large to be left untamed.

All of my incisions were at the level of my belly button or lower. My bra did not touch them. Just wear it loose because you may be swollen some.

  • I was able to wear mine. It didn't get in the way of the incision I have.

I wore mine a few days later...im a 42d here...and i wore a very tight cami over my incisions...bra never bothered them...but when i got home i took it off and just wear a sweatshirt when home to allow my incisions to breath

I had an incision right at my bra line. An underwire bra would have been out of the question. Thankfully someone warned me in advance and I had purchased a soft cotton fasten-in-front bra (no underwire!) and used that until my incisions were more healed.

I also had an incision at my bra line and there is no way I could wear a regular bra. Wearing bras was uncomfortable for weeks! I was a DDD. So glad I work from home. It must have been a month before I could wear an underwire. Get some loose fitting Hanes sports bras. You might tolerate those better. I got some cheap on Amazon. Good luck!

I did not have any incisions at my bra line, and was able to comfortably wear a sports bra home. I didn't bother with a proper bra with underwire; I was uncomfortable enough as it was, and I just wanted to get home in my own bed.

Try it on. If it hurts or is bothersome in anyway, take it off.

Problem solved. :)

(I wore mine home)

Don't worry. You got this!

Yikes, I have rather large breast myself. Scared of no bra!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
