So I have a question, my surgery is December 20th, and I know the incisions will be on the upper half of my stomach and hen in the middle and such. Did anyone ever have trouble with bras? Or do you know of any solutions to be had with them? I bought a Bralette that wouldn't be as much pressure on that area but I didn't know if anyone had a better solution!

Thanks!

Never had a problem, I started wearing under wires about 3 weeks post op with no issues.

Bralettes are the way to go. One of my incisions was right under my boob and there's no way an underwire would work.

Also, you might be too swollen to tolerate an underwire bra for a while.

I wore front hook sports bras for two weeks - then when I went back to work switched to underwires.

No way I was rockin the uniboob at work.

Luckily it wasn't a problem - but I think initially the front hook thing was key because I can't put my bras on and hook them in back. I put the on backwards and scoot then around. Didn't want to scoot bra bands across my incisions.

My incision was under the bra line so no problem with bra..I did wear sports bra when I went out the first week..but back to work n no issues..I was not stapled tho they used glue for my incisions and it helped with healing..4wks n no scar there..:D good luck on your journey

I was wearing my underwires right from the start with no problems what so ever.

Same. My highest incision is about three inches above my belly button. My boobs don't hang that low (yet)!

      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. 🤞
