A little advice on bras...

I am posting an update to give some advice on bras post surgery. I love the Fruit of the Loom front close bras but i had to go buy the next size up today as the one i bought was squeezing the life outta me! I do think thet shrink in the wash too. Amazon sells a 2 pack for $16-$20 but Walmart has the same 2-pack for $10.94! Walmart also had a good selection of Danskin front zip bras which I like as well. If you buy bras before surgery keep the tags and receipt bc you wont know what size you will be with swelling. Lesson learned for me but at least im only out $10 and who knows maybe they will fit when im little more squishy up top!

Im 1 week post op and back at work today. I had my first post op appt yesterday and they removed my stitches and gave me my first set of massage techniques (basically pushing my boobs together). I bought Silagen gel strips from my dr which is proven to help with scar healing and i posted a pic with them on my incisions (under fold). Once my stitches were removed i felt so much better and can reach arms up without a pulling sensation from the incisions. Still just a tad tight up top and get those zingers people talk about. Back at work and feelimg pretty good overall! SO GLAD I DID THIS!!!

Good luck! What size are you anticipating? My recovery has been pretty smooth and this site really helped me plan and get an idea of what to expect. :)

Amazing! Glad you feel as good as you look!!
I wasn't ready at 1 week to return to work - I was lucky I had 3 weeks to recover before work. You're so strong and brave to do so!! Best of luck XO

Advice needed! is this normal?

cemoore81
So im day 3 post op and my pain is ok. Im only taking my tylenol#3 as needed not every 3-4 hours like i have the past 2 days. My boobs are itching and feel real tight. Only pain is reallly around my incisions (under the dold). Im light headed and really dont like that feeling. Yesterday i took my first shower and afterwards almost passed out and i was very nauseated. Im nervous to take another shower today. Is this normal? Advice on dealing with lightheaedness? Itchiness?

Sorry to hear this. On a good note - both are normal! Both itchiness and light headedness are normal. Just not for most of us.
Ba_Mtl_November had light headedness very badly too. You can search her on RS. Not sure what can help it other than taking it way easier! I hope you feel better soon.
I never had the itchies- I believe most women who have had itchy boobs had itchiness where the incisions are.
