Drea72 1 Posted December 1, 2016 So I'm 11 days post and I'm having a real hard time wearing a bra. I feel suffocating and gives me back pain. Is this normal? Any suggestions? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hazel_eyez 173 Posted December 2, 2016 I am 6 days post op and I hate wearing a bra due to not being able to breath all the way. I do find sports bras a little more comfortable but underwire is a no-go right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deletemyacct 39 Posted December 2, 2016 I'm 9 days post op, ive been wearing sport bras since I left the hospital but yesterday I wore a regular as I had my follow up appointment & class...omg, this restricted my breathing, my shoulders were hurting, I even got a fever...I am having chest pain since, hence I'm back to my sport bra...my shoulders no longer hurt Sent from my LGMS631 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LisaMergs 2,854 Posted December 2, 2016 I do recall just wearing camies the first couple of weeks--the bloating in the tummy area made bra-wearing difficult. It gets better. I promise!!❤️ Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LittleLizzieLilliput 919 Posted December 2, 2016 I couldn't deal with a bra for the first 30 days. I would put one on for the minimum time required. I would take it off the moment I got into my car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Isalithe 44 Posted December 2, 2016 I've been living in bralettes. Underwires aren't happening for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
