Maybe my wheels are just spinning because I have sugery in 5 days, but I am wondering.

Did everyone( women) feel comfy in their bra right after surgery? Do the bottom of the bra and the incisions meet at all ?

I wear a 36 G so I go for all the bells and whistles with under wire, and push up and bla bla bla and if the incisions are high on the tummy where the under wire would sit I am curious if it is worth my money to quick but a soft bra for the trip and week or two of healing , or am I just being silly and bra and incision never meet ?

I am large in the chest too (42J)--my incision was not irritated by my industrial strength metal reinforced bra. :)

The incision sits at the bra-line but in the middle of your breasts. Mine is almost perfectly centered lol. I didn't have an issue with my bra. However, once the incisions start to heel and the itching starts.... Whew! That's another story. Good Luck~!

I actually had to check my scars lol. I couldn't remember. I have one that is close to the bra line, but like TinaMari said it is in the middle. You should be ok.

My incisions were lower than my bra line, so no problems there at all. The highest one is just below where TinaMari said, about an inch below the center of my bra.

It might be something that depends on the length of your torso too. You might be able to talk with your surgeon and tell him your concerns.

I did have One tiny one there that would rub with some bras but not all I wore a 42H when I had surgery. I did have a issue with a few bras at a few points if the healing process but I would just put some gauze there and it was all good.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
