Six Weeks Update
gluzrodriguezMay 8, 2015
It's been about six weeks now since my surgery. Everyday gets better. I am still swollen on the sides where I had the liposuction. The pain decreases each day. I recently purchased a bra from Contour MD online. Went to Walmart, JC Penney, Macys and Nordstrom in search for a comfortable bra. Everything I tried on would press into my incisions and I felt I didn't have enough support. They sale Various bras for breast reductions and many other procedures. I got the Careflex stlyle Bella post op bra and it is so comfortable and it was worth the $45 I spent. I just ordered another one in black. It's been such a joy to be able to try bras on that are so pretty and don't cost so much. The different colors and styles are great. Iam so happy to be in my size C cup and I was even able to get into some B's cup. I now look at myself and I am able to buy nice tops that I couldn't before. Let's not forget the pain on my shoulders and neck are gone. What a wonderful blessing. Thank you God!!

Need suggestions on buying a good supportive sports bra without breaking the bank
gluzrodriguezApril 10, 2015
I am still wearing my surgical bras but I need to buy some sports bra with front zippers in preparation for my return to work. The surgical bra helps with the pain and support but it's to bulky. I would appreciate any assistance where I can buy some supportive bras that are not expensive. Thank you so much.

I am six weeks post-op and have been wearing the Genie bra (recommended by my doctor) since the second week. Here in Canada they are $15 at WalMart. Good luck on your return to work!

I was also advised by my surgeon to get them from Walmart but considering I was paying in excess of $50 to 60 per bra I purchased two good ones I am so happy that my surgery is done. I had mine's on the 15th and then had to bury my mom. I too stopped the oxi because of constipation.

Update on surgery
gluzrodriguezMarch 31, 2015
Went to see my surgeon and he informed me that my left nipple is a little darker because the bra they gave me was a little too tight and circulation needs to occur. I will start using the other bra the hospital gave me. Suggested I do not buy bras until about six weeks so that the swelling can go down. He said no underwire till about 3 months. Hopefully no underwires ever again. No signs of infection, thank God. Still feeling tired and pain especially at night. Still using my pain meds and drinking prune juice. I weighed myself and I lost 7 pounds. I was so surprised. Haven't had much of an appetite lately. I am happy because I gained 10 pounds before the surgery because of the stress. Will keep you guys updated on my progress.

Hi,
I used Dr. Borkowski located Middletown, Ct. I was seeing an orthopedic doctor for years for my disc issues. I had to go to my primary doctor and he recommended the doctor. When I met my surgeon he knew immediately that my breast were to heavy for my body size. He completed the paperwork for my insurance. It was approved about 6 weeks.
