Is my underwire bra gone forever?



Recommended Posts

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
