Is my underwire bra gone forever?

[jahair 0]

I've been banded since 8/28/06. I couldn't wear a bra at all until about 9/18 and then only on last set of hooks. Realized that I was really uncomfortable still with underwire bra and got some wireless ones. They are kinda tight too.

Do you think this is still post surgical swelling or what??? Inquiring minds want to know.

Thanks,

Jo Ann

I would try going and getting refitted? I've been banded less than a week and I've been okay wearing my underwire.

I wouldn't think so.. I had a bit of irritation in my top 2 incisions after surgery. Just give it time to heal.

Best wishes!

im 6 days post op and when i wear my wire bra i feel like its makes me feel like i overate even though i didnt eat for hours. its like its pushing the band smaller . maybe thats why i lost 11lbs in 6 days. my skirts, pants are also so tight even though i lost all this weight. i sleep at night with a huge t shirt on only and i feel so much better

I don't wear a bra, but it sounds like Water retention to me. Sometimes the water pumped into through IV during surgery seems to cause bloating, but it is normally temporary.

Ok, now that I have picked myself up off the floor from laughing at T.O.M, I will add my 2 cents worth. I could not wear my wireless bra for close to a month after surgery. In fact, that first month, I found I was most comfortable wearing a sports bra. However, I am now back to wearing my regular underwires without a problem.
