At my support group, a recently banded woman gave a useful tip: get yourself some sports bras, because underwires are REALLY uncomfortable right after surgery. (sorry guys, this ain't for you!)

I totally second that advice! Also I have been walking around in lose fitting pj bottoms! (Yup outside and everything!) My neighbor thought I was having a baby Just be comfortable; that is the bottom line.

Holly your so right! I couldn't wait to get home and take my bra off! Sorry Guys! I haven't owned a non-wire bra in years so I'm going to have to buy at least one to get me through this next week or so.

I don't know about anyone else but my incisions all seem to be right under The Girls except one in the middle of my belly.

Here's a funny - doctor couldn't find 5th incision b/c my girls had it hidden! Peek-A-Boo! :eyebrows: Heck I thought I only had 4 too until Surgeon came to check on me.

Take EXTRA stretchy clothes to come home in. I packed a skirt that was really loose thinking I'd wear it home and it barely fit around my stomach after surgery. I looked 20 months pregnant yesterday!

Hi everyone... well here I am on the other side...My op went pretty well. Yes there was pain when I first tried to get out of bed - but after that I hit the drugs and just made sure I kept taking them. So I can't really say I've had a lot of pain as I kept it masked. I am however very very sleepy.

There is one problem I am experiencing which is feeling like I have to pee but finding it very difficult to actually get it out :eyebrows: - I'm putting this down to the drugs. Is there anyone else out there with a similar experience - love to hear from you.

Thanks

Christine
