Lorraine.. good luck with the surgery tomorrow, you will do just fine! I will send loads of positive thoughts and healing energies your way!

I have a question in regards to post op clothing after surgery/ going home from hospital. I have watched a lot of videos on youtube and a lot of women have said they wore a sports bra home and during the first 2 weeks of healing. Being a plus sized woman with a well developed chest, I have always avoided sports bras because they tend not to fit properly once you get into the D sized cups and beyond. Do any of you have any suggestions? Are you going home braless?? Any advice would be welcome.

[AshleePage 65]

Great question! I have an ample bosom as well and will be wearing just a soft cup bra home. Whatever you're most comfortable with though. I also have a bra that hooks in the front that I also contemplated wearing. Good luck and Godspeed to you...and your twins!

[oweemytoe 43]

aww thanks, Ashlee... I am leaning towards the soft cup and contemplating the front closure, that way I won't have to fasten in front and twirl around to the back for a back closure bra. The ladies, (aka the twins) will be fine.. I hope. Thanks for your great video on what to bring, I started writing my list thanks to you!
