No bra here either....just my old standard leather thong and my cape....HAR!!
Okay, I think I'm going to have to request a warning lable from now on with all your future postings... Something along the lines of "Caution! May cause Crystal to laugh until she cannot breathe!"

Okay, I've got my caftan ready... How long does the jammie stage last? How long does the "no bra" stage last? (I only have bras that are marvles of engineering...)

I wore sweats and loose t-shirt the first two days after surgery and no Bra but on day four I went back to work so I bought some large size silver healing band-aids and covers the incisions, was able to wear a bra and I swear that the silver healing helpd the inscions heal quickly with less scarring than I thought I would have. I also used Vitamin E 30.000 mgs to moistuize after the saples were removed they say it helps reduce the scaring as well.

Good luck on your surgery.

Bra-less just wasn't an option for me and yes the girls would have rubbed an incision without one. I would have just gone bra-less except that all my research had told me to expect to be up and walking around the hosp. after surgery. I just couldn't wrap my mind around doing that without a bra on, (I mighta knocked someone out!) LOL!!! Then, it turned out that they didn't want me to walk at all, go figure!!! My sport bra was not a pull over, but had hooks just like a regular one. It is just very stretchy with very little support and no underwires, but it was better than nothing and I was able to wear it without a lot of discomfort.

Blossom, you just reminded me of why I needed the bra. It was because one of my sweaty boobs was sitting right on the incision, mashing it. How could I forget? It was really un-cozy to say the least. I guess it's better to bring and old soft bra just in case, cuz you never know where the incisions will be. Even a stretched out, beat up one with the underwires cut out.

I wore some elastic waist cotton pants, that were p.j.'s and very compfy. You really couldn't tell they were not street pants.

I wore a sports type, no wire, soft cotton bra in order to keep the mamory gland off my incision. It worked real well.

Big - BIG t-shirt and the largest size of stretch shorts (back in July) - WITH a bra, thank you! Yes, it was uncomfortable.

I went braless at home for about a week - maybe week and a half - before it wasnt painful to wear.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
