Post-Op Ladies - Bra ?

I had my surgery on July 19. I tried putting a bra on today and was able to get it on, but it sort of rubs on my staples and I had to take it off. Anyone else having bra problems or have any bra hints? Hugs, Nancy

Hi Nancy!! Good to see you posting, today is the first day I wanted to get on the puter since Jul 19 surgery, how you feeling? To be honest I havent even attempted to put a bra on. LOLOL Wish I could help ya!!!

Michelle, good to see you too!! I'm really not feeling as great as I thought I would, but I'm sure that will take time. I'm hoping to take a walk today, so I think I'll get out my bra and my scissors and do a little adjusting! Keep well and keep in touch! HUgs, Nancy

hiyas Nancy... I had a little problem when I'd sit...I ended up as habit, folding my t-shirt under so the bra would rub so much...helped some... I know it is nerve-wracking when those staples get touched by anything..I had a couple that the skin moved around, like a piercing...ick... I'm so glad mine are out...have a slight surface infection on one incision (on the belly) but it's clearing up very well. oh I also have to add...Nancy, I commend you for taking on the task of the daily updates on people's surgery dates etc...it's such a wodnerful thing for you to do...thank you Take care...just think..those staples will be out SOON!!! Linda

I'm having the opposite problem actually, one of my incisions is up kinda high and if I don't have a bra on, my big ol booby lays on the incision and it doesnt' get any air. I don't have staples, all my incisions are stitched from the inside, but I use a really soft no underwire sports bra to keep them twins tamed so they don't lay on the incision.

No bra for me - except when I went shopping at K-mart today. I didn't want to shock anyone with these jugs bouncin' around. It didn't rub my staples, though, but I took it off as soon as I got home anyways! Joyce
