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

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
