Ladies...bra question

[xsammy 27]

Okay, so I'm making my lists for the hospital and afterwards, and realized that all of my bras are underwire. Every one of 'em. Will that be okay, or should I pick up a couple of "comfort" ones for while incisions are healing? Going without is not an option .

I wore a sports bra (got a 3 pack from wal-mart) or the first 2 weeks!! It was a life saver until my staples were taken out.

I remember when I had my emergency gallbladder surgery last year that I wore a underwire bra and I was comfortable since it was low enough were it didn't hit the top staple line near my bra area.

I wore a regular bra and I have the shortest torso- I'm 4'11 and have a 30"inseam. Lol. You should be ok without it rubbing!!

I would wear a comfy one, becuz one of my incisions was right at my bra line and it hurt. I put a bandaid on it and then I was fine. Good luck!!

My top incision was exactly where the strap of my bra goes, right in between my boobs. For about two weeks after surgery I felt like all the weight of my boobs (considerable weight!) was on that incision. I tried all kinds of bras, but still had an issue until I started padding the incision. I tried a lot of different things to pad it, but what worked best was a stray sock that I cut into square pieces, folded one of the pieces up into a smaller square, then stuck between the bra and the incision. That was the only thing that made wearing any bra bearable for me.

One of my incisions was too high to wear an underwire bra- it was several weeks. Buy yourself at least one non-underwire or sports bra just to be safe.

You've all convinced me this is a better-safe-than-sorry situation, so I ordered a couple on Amazon tonight. Thanks!!

I got my Genie bras today--why oh why have I not bought these before?? Super comfortable.
