What type of bra should yoy wear post-VSG?



Recommended Posts

This might sound like a silly question, but can you wear a regular bra (underwire) right after surgery? I've heard it recommended to wear a sports bra, but I find it hard to find one that fits well and is not like a wrestling match to get on! I think it would be difficult to get one on being sore. I guess I could go home from the hospital not wearing a bra at all or while I'm recovering at home, but I plan on returning to work 1-2 weeks after surgery?

I had no troubles at all putting my normal Lane Bryant heavy duty under wire bra back on at all. :-)

I wore a light weight cami sport bra (like this one)

to be comfy in the hospital. It was just better for me as far as getting around but also sleeping a lot and it had a front closure!

I wore my under wire But I wish I brought something to stick under the wire for padding. I just tucked my shirt under it when I wasn't around people or in public.

I vote for a wonderbra.

I finally figured out where they got their name from. It's because when women take them off we wonder where the tata's go??

I had to buy new bras post op...cause that is where the weight came off first (figures!)..but because I think the size will change some more over time I bought some Genie bras from Walmart so I will get more use out of them. They do run small though so I would go up a size from what the package says. They are made of a nylon type material for stretch and they are inexpensive.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
