How long after ps do u wait to get a bra fitting?



Recommended Posts

I had my PS on Monday and have been sitting home watching what not to wear on TLC. It gets me very excited about my new body. I had a breast lift, tt, and a little Lipo on my thighs. I'm curious how long I should expect to wait to go bra and clothes shopping. I know I will have swelling for a bit but will this be a gradual process? Any feedback is helpful. Thank you!

I had a minor reduction/ lift 5 years ago. The swelling was gone after 6 weeks. I wore a front close sports bra for 6 -8 weeks then was able to wear normal bras. I have very dense breasts so not a lot of sagging just very. Heavy. Now they are really pretty ;)

I would say 6 weeks - BUT - Then I would say - Do not buy a million pretty bras - Just buy 'some'

I say this as 6 weeks after surgery I was a 34D (Down from a G cup)

All was well but 1yr after surgery I was a C (No weight loss etc)

Now - I am a B to C cup depending on the bra!

I like being a B cup to be honest (After being a G cup - It is a relief) - But I sure wish I had not bought a plethora of bras that are now sooooooo big on me...

Love love love my new boobs! But I wish I had not bought out the shop of bras LOLOL

Did you have implants put in or just a lift?wondering why they went down in size after your operation?

Thanks for the great info. I didn't have implants. My PS said the only reason I was a DD was because of the width of them. When he was done I should be a C. I can tell a definite difference in width. Super excited. Thanks again for the replies!

I didn't have implants either - When I went to him I begged for a B cup but he said that the best he might be able to do (he would see in surgery) was possibly a C cup - After being a massive G cup I just wanted the smallest possible boobs!

I am not sure whey they went down again - But I m sure glad they did :-)

I think maybe they are not as full on the top part of my breasts a little bit - But I am so happy to be able to turn over in bed without them being in the way etc

I think they were a D at first because of swelling - Then were a C for a while and maybe i might have lost a pound in boobs yet gained in my butt maybe? To make them a tiny bit smaller - Who knows really it is hard to tell.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
