Re: to the ladies post~op out there

[Guest guest]

I had surgery 11 days ago and I wore underware. I did not have a

binder, but I also had the Lap procedure. I purposely wore panties

that I could move up or down a little depending on what I needed.

Hope this helps

Hi ,

I had open DS and although I didn't wear underwear while in the

hospital (because of the cathader hanging between my legs), I didn't

have any problem whatsoever in wearing it once the cathader was

removed. My suggestion is to wear panties that aren't tight around

the waist. You shouldn't have any problem.

Dorian

I bought a few pairs of underwear 2 sizes too big. I

also bought really big sweats and a long sleeve

t-shirt to wear home from the hospital. This helped

greatly!

Underwear was never a problem for me after surgery. I wore it every day. I

also wore pj's with an elastic waist (loose) and loose fitting elastic waist

slacks.

Hi. Me, again!

I never go without undies either, but after not wearing them in the

hospital for so long, a couple more days weren't going to hurt. You

get used to it.

I wore a lose jumper dress home with a shirt underneath it. I also

wore my binder under my dress & NO undies! You probably won't want

pants or anything touching your incision. Even after I started

wearing undies again, I kept the front pulled down under my stomach

so it wouldn't rub on the incision.

I had to travel two days to get home. After the first day, my

incision was really sore from the binder rubbing against it

constantly. The second day, I covered it with some gauze & taped it

down. They sent it home with me so I had it on hand. For anyone

traveling, I would suggest doing this before you leave the hospital.

It really helped me.

Just put bandaids over your nipples and go for it! lol, Hey do what

you gotta do. My bras are getting to big and not supportive at all

so I might as well wear nothing. Its just to say I have one on.
