What is comfortable to wear post op?
Thanks in advance for any help and advice you can give me.
3 weeks out from a Panni -- I wore and still wear a lot of house / sundress's zip down worked the best.... check kohls and walmartv-- you want soft !!! I also used wife beater t shirts and . pj pants, grany panties - that dont sit on my incission. and a good panty girdle / support --- the binders suck !!!
get safty pins to pin your drains up ... Ice packs to help ease the comfort... a recliner to sleep eat and do everything else in....
you need a good sports bra
let us know how your doing

strechy shorts and wore those. I used tiny bikini panties, cause
they sat below the drains. I only wore shorts and panties due to
the fact I had my period just before surgery. Otherwise I would
have been naky. My compression top for my arms covered my
breast like a bolero jacket so I didn't wear a top for about 2 weeks.
Just used a sheet to cover myself.
When I went back to work. I was lucky. I wear scrubs and a lab
jacket. Big and comfy. I could hid a machine gun under that jacket.
Get a back scratcher!! And dont forget bendy straws and chapstick.
And ready to drink protien drinks. They saved my life.
Good luck

Loose and comfortable and easy to get on and off. Yoga pants once I started back to work. Took 3 mo before I could wear my jeans. Too much pressure on the scars. I did take mens boxers with 2 front snaps that I could put the drains through and then clip to my waist band.
