Questions for big breast women



Recommended Posts

So im doing research on what to bring for upcoming surgery on 1/23 and the common thing everyone says is sports bra. Im pretty heavy on top and it's hard to find a good normal bra let alone a sports one. Please let me know if its necessary and if so where to buy one for dd and up

Before surgery I was a DD too. I didn't go out and buy a sports bra and I was fine. You're right, it's hard enough to find a DD in a regular bra.

I think you should be fine without the sports bra.

I discovered front clasp sleep bras after I had my twin babies last year and they were what I brought to the hospital and have lived in ever since. I'm only five days out of surgery and they have been very comfortable. they come in a range of sizes and colors and they are soft, with no wire. I adore them. http://m.leadinglady.com/cotton-front-closure-leisure-bra.html

Before surgery 44H. Wore my usual bra to the hospital. Wore it home. Didn't wear a bra while I was in the hospital. I was fine. (Now a 40DD).

Not quite a month out....started as a 48G and now a 40G. I went braless after the surgery n the hospital so no reason for a sports bra til you get cleared for surgery. I finally bought a new bra this week.....a new bra along with a pair of jeans....lol. Down 35 pounds! And so much more to go

They had me strip completely and put on a gown for surgery, so this was irrelevant until afterwards.

However, I didn't feel the need for a sports bra at any point, in the hospital or otherwise. I wore my regular bras.

Save your money for when you're down 30-40 lbs. I've had to buy bras twice in 7 months ;)

I went bra less. But I was a 40 j cup and bought my bras at Lane Bryant. Love love love it there.

I wore a bandeau bra from Walmart. It's 3 for $10, so they're practically disposable. I was a 44 DD at surgery, and they were super comfy in the hospital. I wouldn't wear them out, though...they aren't the most flattering.

I wore what was more of a sleep bra from kohls it is made like a sports bra but not tight and was much more comfortable. I'm a DD and bought an XL and it fit fine.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
