Hey guys, Wanted to get everyone's take on this.

My mother decided to help me and she ordered me a few sports/leisure bras in different sizes. Her line of thinking is that since I am 6 days post op and will be losing weight fast it would help my breast during this phase if I slept in these bras. Opinions?

Unless they snap up the front I would think that putting on and taking off a traditional sports bra right after surgery would hurt. Regular sports bras are one piece and you tug them up and over your head, this action stretches muscles that I think would be tender for a while?

Ohhhh dear, I slept in sports bras for 3 months, and the girls still headed south. I wore medium impact (they were sucked in pretty tight), and it didn't help mine one single bit. I went from a 40-42D/DD to a tiny 32/34B. Some don't lose their boobs though so you might get lucky.

Some people swear that wearing shapers and such help with loose skin. Personally, I believe genetics, age, and how long we've been fat contribute way more to our skin after major weight loss.

Thanks Guys,

I know she is trying to help. The one's she got are front closured so they are easy enough to put on and take off. I am not sure what will happen with my breasts. Wearing them while I sleep isn't really an issue because well I am single lol, and they are comfortable enough. I just wasn't sure if people have heard that this might help or might not.

Thanks

      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.
