Under wire bra and port pain???



Recommended Posts

Has anyone who has been banded a bit know if your bra has caused your port area to hurt??? Mine has been hurting mildly for two days and it seems to jump all around my port area (not in one particular spot). I have tried repositioning the way I am sitting, where I am sitting and so on. I finally took off my bra and now I notice there is not a single pain! It could be a coincidence and I am still going to bring it up to the doc, but

anybody have this happen?????:)

My wife complained about this once or twice in the beginning, but I think it was the brand of bra she was wearing. When she lost more weight, and had to get smaller bra, she never said anything else about it since.

If its not your actually bra, its probably still gas. I went for my post op today and told the Dr. I felt slight pain on my left side about bra level and she told me its probably still gas pockets. It feels like when you get a side ache when you run or something. I told her it hasnt gone away but some times I dont even feel it. She said like all do that walking is the best thing or a heating pad. Hope that helps.

My port is between my sternum and my belly button. Fortunately, my girls haven't slipped that far, although they drop farther each year. I only wear soft cup (no underwire) bras and then only cotton ones. But I couldn't stand underwires even when I was a kid. They damage bust tissue, so everyone should get into a good, well-fitted soft cup bra.

Be Well

I get the same thing with the underwire bra. I just try to reposition it and now when I go to buy one i will try to be more careful that i don't get one that hurts the port area.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
