I am a bigger chested women and I am a little over a week PO. I am having a hard time wearing a bra because of the pressure. Has anyone else had this feeling?

I didn’t wear a bra for 3 weeks after surgery. Even going out to walk or errands. So yes!

Yeah, wearing a bra was very uncomfortable. Started wearing one after 2 weeks post op.

Yes! I worn one today for a few hours and had to take it off as soon as I got home. It was pinching me even though I purposely wore my bigger bra!

Mine feels like it’s suffocating me. [emoji51]

I didn't wear one at all the first week. I was back at work the second week, so I wore tank tops under very "busy" shirts to try and disguise the girls. I could wear a loose bra after the second week. My problem wasn't the surgery, per se, but that I had 2 incisions that fell right where the bra band sits.

I have an incision right where my bra band sits. Just wearing a tank and sweatshirts. At least the cold weather helps me get away with hiding my lack of bra.

Same here, I'm glad I'm not crazy! 4 days post of - I wear a bra with the straps unbuckled. I feel like it gives me a tiny bit of support/nipple coverage.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
