Will I be able to wear a bra immediatley after surgery? Or will I

And, what about pants? I don't like dresses. Will the elastic

aggravate the staples? >>

Memory,

I wore my bra out of the hospital. I never changed anything about the

way I dressed and I was comfortable.

Hi. I know what you mean! When I checked in, I took NOTHING with me.

I was given a bag to put my clothes in shortly after check-in. When I

was released, I just put the clothes that I had worn when I checked

in. I did not wear my bra when I left, though, because your insicions

are way up near your bra line and you will be swollen. As a matter of

fact, the shorts that I wore in (loose when I went in)were too tight

when I left so wear something really loose(My shorts were loose

button and zipper-type and I left the button undone when I left).

Elastic waist bands will probably not touch your insicions, but you

will be swollen. I have been reading your posts for a while and I am

thrilled that your day has come! Best wishes.

Memory! You are a nut! LOLOLOL Throwing Sparks cracked me up!

I was able to wear my bra when I left the hospital. However, I

really would not have liked wearing pants. I wore a cotton tank top

type sundress, the same one I wore in the day before.

Picture this:

You are ready to leave the hospital, to your horror the pants you

wore into the hospital are to uncomfortable or to tight to wear out

of

the hospital, you are forced to march through the DRH lobby in one of

their fashionable and well ventilated gowns!

Hey, it could be fun! LOL

Seriously: Congratulations, Memory! You have worked very hard for

this. Best of luck on a speedy recovery!

Warmly,
