If not for work, and having to leave the house looking sane...I would probably NEVER wear a bra again! When sitting, it feels as though this underwire is pressing on my diaphragm....and it ain't fun!

Hi! Try the Ahhh bras. They give pretty good support, even for larger breasts and are so comfortable.

There are sports bras that look more like bras with no under wire. They don't have the cross strap. I know what you mean about the bra, it sits right there and sometimes it hits one of my incisions.

The one laparascope, the one just below the bra line in the middle of my diaphragm, had to be moved during surgery and moved up and then they had to open it so it looks like I have a = and + on top of each other and it's a bit bigger because of a complication and it still has the clear dissolvable stitches sticking out so it was uncomfy.

I am sure it will feel better soon, best of luck and congrats on your loss!

Best wishes and I hope

I'm sorry

Thanks, Mina. I do have a few sports bras...they don't don't always fit my clothing choices. I know this phase will pass, and I can't wait!

I solved this problem by working from home.......I don't wear shoes either. In all seriousness, one of the things that I am looking forward to post op....wearing bras that don't look like a kevlar vest. Husband seems worried that his fun bags might disappear...but we all must sacrifice for good health.

Tell him to start saving. They are offered as aftermarket equipment also.

      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.
