I thought my incisions would have been lower than where my doctor went in. I have about 7 cuts and I have three across where my bra goes. How am I suppose to put a bra on? Luckily I'm off of work for a week, but I am rather large chested and my boob seems to be irritating one incision spot. Any suggestions?

The only advice I have is to check with the nurse at your doctor's office and see what other patients have done in the past. If this is his usual technique other patients would have experienced the same thing I would think.

My highest incision is below my bust line right in the middle and my bra never interfered with it so I'm afraid I'm not much help.

As sexy as this sounds, I kept my tshirt tucked under my breast to keep from having skin on skin contact. I wore a bandaid to one doctor's appointment and was scolded - he said no band aids - they don't let air in to the incision. He recommended a sanitary napkin attached to the bra.

I went to the store and tried on bras until I found a couple that did not have underwire and they were a lot more comfortable. Not very supportive, but better than nothing!

I too wear a light silky shirt as an undershirt so that I can tuck it under my bra. But they should be healed by the time you go back to work. Let the girls free this week

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
