I have a rather short torso & I am finding it uncomfortable to wear a bra post op due to the bottom of the bra being against the edge of the area where I'm still swollen by my port. Underwires are out & I know a lot of people like those genie bras but I found them to be even worse. Has any one else had this problem?

Were they the same size as pre-op?

I, also, wore a sports bra after surgery. It, usually, gets better. Karen

I am 8 weeks out and I started wearing my regular bra. I also used a front opening sports bra.

Wow, 8 wks?! I lost 27 lbs pre-op & was already my the last hooks. I took the measurments & saw I'd should be shopping for a different size, I wonder if that will be even different 8 wks from now? And here is something I have wondered for yrs.....why do they always put the bigger bras on the bottom of the racks, don't they realize it is harder for us to get down there? This was even before I was overweight...I swear I woke up at age 11 w/these things...poor girls aren't always what they are cracked up to be :rolleyes:.

Thanks for the replies, I did find some comfy ones by Danskin today. I used to have great luck at Fashion Bug, now that they are out of buisness I will miss them when I seriously need to stock up.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
