Got a "Day after Surgery" Question.



Recommended Posts

When you leave the hospital the next day, Will I be able to wear my Bra? Most of you know what I am saying. My girls are too large to be left untamed.

All of my incisions were at the level of my belly button or lower. My bra did not touch them. Just wear it loose because you may be swollen some.

  • I was able to wear mine. It didn't get in the way of the incision I have.

I wore mine a few days later...im a 42d here...and i wore a very tight cami over my incisions...bra never bothered them...but when i got home i took it off and just wear a sweatshirt when home to allow my incisions to breath

I had an incision right at my bra line. An underwire bra would have been out of the question. Thankfully someone warned me in advance and I had purchased a soft cotton fasten-in-front bra (no underwire!) and used that until my incisions were more healed.

I also had an incision at my bra line and there is no way I could wear a regular bra. Wearing bras was uncomfortable for weeks! I was a DDD. So glad I work from home. It must have been a month before I could wear an underwire. Get some loose fitting Hanes sports bras. You might tolerate those better. I got some cheap on Amazon. Good luck!

I did not have any incisions at my bra line, and was able to comfortably wear a sports bra home. I didn't bother with a proper bra with underwire; I was uncomfortable enough as it was, and I just wanted to get home in my own bed.

Try it on. If it hurts or is bothersome in anyway, take it off.

Problem solved. :)

(I wore mine home)

Don't worry. You got this!

Yikes, I have rather large breast myself. Scared of no bra!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
