I will be getting my BA/BL in 8 days...I am so excited.  What kind of bras did you wear post op?  I know my PS said he will have a surgical bra on and a binder on my stomach for the lipo he will be doing.  He said no underwire for 3 months.  I want to go shopping for some post op bras but have no idea what to get or what is good.  Any info would be appreciated.  THANKS!

When I had my BA/BL, I really liked the wirefree bra from Soma. In fact, I still wear it regularly! I also used some sports bras and strechy type bras on occasion. In particular, a stretcy bras by Barely There, which I bought at Kohl's.
Good luck!

My doctor had me wear a sports bra. I got one that zipped up the front.

I was told sports bras. found a couple nice ones at Target that closed in the back. Also the good thing w/ sports bras is they tend to be less expensive. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on new bras until everything had settled and I knew what size I was really after all the swelling and settling

I had a bra/arm and body compression garments that I wore for 2mo then went into a sports bra from walmart/target... I kept my body garment on for another month.  I still wear a sports bra/body garment to bed at night.  

At 3 mo, I went shopping at Vicky's... I could finally wear cute bras.  I measured 36DD but 38D fits great.  There's a great front closure, racer back bra at walmart for 11.97 by Danskin or something like that... don't have it on, or I'd take a look.
