I still need to shop for Vitamins, Protein, liquids, pajamas/lounge wear for the hospital/hotel. I need tips on what you were comfortable in after surgery. I don't want to make the mistake of wearing something that will irritate the incisions. Someone said a sports bra vs underwire. Ummm...I'm thinking this will be a good excuse not to have to wear one at all...lol!

Had a long conversation with Judy tonight (Dr. Zapata's representative) and found out she lived here in Jax and her sister's husband was military. I live right across from the base. He family member is a sheriff's officer a couple of cities away. I told her I was going to name drop if I ever got pulled over there. She said tell him Judy will be upset and they will listen. Nice, comfortable conversation. Makes me feel more comfortable with my choice. I hope I still have this confidence come next week!

I didn't wear a bra the entire time I was in the hospital. But then again, I never wear one at home. I am not overly endowed in that area.

the incisions really aren't high up where a bra would irritate them. I do have one tiny one right between my boobs that's about a half inch or less. the rest are in the middle of my stomach.

Hi Good luck for your op. I didn't wear a bra whilst in hospital but for travelling and for the 1st 2 weeks post op I wore a big comfy sports bra. Even so I still could not keep it on all day in the early times. I take a 44 G and it frightens the horses and hurts my knees if I go out without a bra on :thumbup:

lol...I was not as blessed in that area. I could get away without wearing one if I have on a loose shirt or a tank underneath.

OK, so where exactly are the incisions? I heard some people say they have 2 and others say up to 5. I guess O should ask Dr. Zapata or if any Zapata sleevers read this maybe they can tell me.

Hi Hayley, I don't regard them as a blessing, more an extra load to carry around :thumbup:

I had my op done in Czech Republic so it may be different. I have a central entry an inch below the bra line between my breasts, and then 4 more dotted across my tummy equi-distant between the top one and my navel.

Cheers
