Just a little funny that's not so funny :)



Recommended Posts

All day today, I was not able to keep down any liquids at all. I would take the smallest sip and I could feel it just sitting there. I was almost panicking and getting ready to call the doctor. As I was standing in the bathroom at work, looking in the mirror, I noticed my clothes were a little disheveled, so I began to straighten them up...you know...in case I had to go to ER. Well.....I adjusted my sexy VS front clasp bra and felt immediate relief. I could fill the Water going down. Apparently, my bra was hindering my ability to digest liquids today. LOL It would have been nice to discovered this early this morning instead of spending all day planning my bypass apocalypse.

Well, I'm a man, I believe in seeing things to believe them. So perhaps a photo of the problem would be helpful! Many men are very visual in this way, especially when it involves the words sexy and bra and I don't remember anything else you posted!

By the way, this is and was intended to be funny and from a man's perspective so i hope you take it as such!

Would have never thought about that being an issue ????!! I'm a heavy chested girl, and I have a few of those front clasp "items". I'm going to really think about that the daylong and after surgery this month. Thanks for the heads-up.

Thanks for the chuckle, that was great!

I can relate, front or back clasp, bras now pose yet another way to cause discomfort post surgery. Instead of unbuttoning pants for post-meal discomfort I have had to unhook my bra a time or two.

After my surgery I couldn't wear a bra unless it was loose fitting the pressure was unbearable I had lap band done then gastric bypass cause I had issues with the band.

Oh no! That must have such a relief for you!

I am so hoping to be able to wear VS again, or even Juicy Couture anything for the first time in my life.

Thanks for the story- it's something to keep in mind because I would have panicked too. My surgery is Feb 16, so I use all the help now!

Retizpa, I'm sure you wouldn't be able to tell much from photos of this problem. The best way to get the full "picture" would be to go to VS yourself, get a front clasp bra in YOUR size, and then try to re-create the problem. I'm sure that if you just explain to the sales lady that you're just trying to conduct a medical experiment that she'll give it her all to make sure that your bra is a good fit. :P

      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.
