Am all set for corset trunkplasty.  Had my first iron infusion yesterday also.  Was told would have to wear binder and surgical or sport bra for 6 weeks, all the time after surgery.  Any recommendations for sportsbras?  I have none, surgery is May 16. 

Am also probably having hysterectomy done at same time. (was not comfortable with the surgeon they set me up with for hysterectomy, sounded very unsure of himself,  just finished residency  2 yrs ago)  They are  seeing if someone more experienced is available to do surgery at same time, or I will have it done at a later time.   Also having thigh vaser lipo.

They are supplying surgical bra and binder and suggested I get sport bras.  I have no idea what kind of sports bra is good, never bought any as I have always been big breasted.

Any help is appreciated.

 Make sure the sports bra is front closure/front zipper.  There arent alot of choices out there. I bought Champion brand from Amazon and one from the local sports store.

I ordered two of the front zip up sports bras from JC Penney.  Your surgery is the day before mine.  We can keep up tabs on each other.

I am having a Fleur de Lis Tummy Tuck, Mons lift, and double hernia repair.  I also have two surgeons working on me at the same time.  We will definitely have to check in with each other.

My corsettrunkplasty is like an extended fleur de Lis.  It goes from back of hip to back of hip, up center, then around under breasts to get rid of back boobs, and will be getting vaser lipo of thighs to debulk as well.

Also hysterectomy if they can find a surgeon I feel comfy with.  the one I had my preop with, I did not like, was not sure of himself at all.  Just  got out of residency 2 yrs ago.  Made me feel real uneasy.
