When can I wear a bra again? I had my surgery on Monday.. And I have family coming over to visit.

Regular bra or a sports one?

And does this make me 3 or 4 days post OP? I'm not sure if I should include my surgery date...

You can wear one whenever it's comfortable! I had my drain tube almost directly below my bra band, so that was NOT comfortable. But even so, when we'd go walking, I'd put some extra gauze over and wear the bra anyway.

Even though my surgery was very early in the morning, the NEXT day was day 1 POST-OP. Don't count the day of surgery...

I didn't have any bra restrictions. Went home from the hospital wearing a loose fitting sports bra. Never had a problem.

I wore a bandeau (tube) bra for about 3 days before going back to my regular bra just because the band sat on one of my incisions. Go with what's comfortable.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
