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 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! 😞
