Burning my Bra

I went to see my surgeon today and he told me that I don't need to wear my compression bra anymore. In fact I can get away with not wearing one at all right now. (no implants)

I have been wearing bra's since I was a young girl. Now I am like a bohemian, '60's burn the bra' type of radical woman.

I feel like making a daisy chain, wearing it around my head, popping some tie dye flowing clothes on and running barefoot through the woods.

I kind of like it :D

Burn that bra! I wish I could burn mine. I think I've worn a bra nonstop for the last 40 years. It must be great to be able to go without one.

It's a great feeling I still wear a bra but the fact I could go without is a great feeling. No implants either

I may even buy a bralett, more like a vest than a bra :)

Last week I forgot to take my bra off when I got home from work. 3 hours later I realized it. All my adult life the bra had to be ditched the moment I got home because it would be digging in and causing red marks and was so uncomfy. Now, I don't even feel it!

Still ditch it the moment I'm home. Bras suck!

      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.
