How soon can I wear the breast band and how tight should it be?

March 26, 2016
Asked By:synowise in Corte Madera, CA

I was a little out of it when the PS told me when I should wear my breast band. I can't remember if he said when I can tolerate it or if he said to wait a week. They normally give it to you in a week when you come back but since I live in the mountains he gave it to me before I left. I also am curios how tight it should be, should I feel light pressure or can it be as tight as I can stand? I have a very high pain tolerance.
