SkinnyCubanChick 150 Posted January 14, 2013 Is anyone out there having a problem with wearing bras for too many hrs? I am 4 weeks post-op today and cannot stand wearing a bra for too long! I have tried different bras and even with sport bras I have the same problem! Will this go away soon? I have to take the bra off right when I get home! 1 SnowgirlnTX reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
feb27bandwoman 112 Posted January 14, 2013 I am almost one year post op and have lost almost 100 pounds.I think a lot of fat came off my shoulders(hahaha!), right where the bra straps lie. I get a " pinchy,sharp pain in that spot.....It feels better when I get the straps off! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vanessa1215 35 Posted January 15, 2013 Try wearing a strapless bra if the straps bother you.... If its not the straps, what about the bra is irritating you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkinnyCubanChick 150 Posted January 15, 2013 It's not the straps it's the underside although I have no under wires and it isn't tight. I feel like I have a tight belt around under my breasts all the time even if I'm not wearing a bra! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jewelsm1127 351 Posted January 15, 2013 Maybe go to the store and try on a couple of different styles? Is it rising too high or too low? Bras definitely serve their purpose but mine always comes off when I get home and am in for the night. But I've always been like that so for me it had nothing to do with surgery! :-). But if it feels that way for you even without the bra on could it be your posture? I find out that mine bothers me more when I tend to slouch and if I straighten up it feels better. Not sure if that would help? I tend to slouch when I'm sitting at work and not even realize it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Debbie3sons 1,936 Posted January 15, 2013 Right above one of my incisions my bra hits so it feels like I have to itch and adjust all the time and it's right above my port whichis a little to the side and mine is a front closure , but for the first 2 months I wore a sport bra so I wouldn't have anything irritating me but now it's just once in a while and untill I get to my goal weight I am trying not to buy any clothes , however I have lost 50lbs n 5 months and my bra straps do slip off my shoulders lol so I adjust., just like I'm adjusting to losing weight and eating.

SnowgirlnTX 9 Posted January 16, 2013 My bra also drives me crazy now. I do the very same thing...take it off as soon as I get home. It feels like my breasts put a ton of pressure on my sternum area...very uncomfortable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
