Post-surgery ‘upholstery’ advice!

Hi Disco Dolly you can get t shirt type bras, which are soft and have no clasps etc. I would buy biggest one possible so it is not tight but gives some support. They also do bras in marks and Spencer’s for post surgery, which might be worth a look. 

Wishing you all the best for your surgery x 

Thank you! I’ve just bought a front loader soft one and a hidden support vest from M+S in a size up, to tide me over. Hopefully they’ll do the job for the time I’m sore. It’s funny the things that pop into my brain at 3am…. This question was from an intrusive thought a couple of nights ago!

These are so comfy I had them for my bowel op and lung. Like you I bought two large front openings early days but soon went back to this style 

 Artsie they look so nice! Where are they from? 

 Asda. £10 for two 

I have bought four I gave one to my sister in law who recently had breast surgery as well
I ordered them online befire my bowel surgery so I could be up dressed and out of hospital 

When I had the lung I bought two open front bras but I found my arm was sore so I wore my old Asda ones. They’re big enough to pull up. 
Super comfy. 

Another item I took in was front opening tops as I thought that the drain may be a problem. I took lots of choice. I was able to wear oversized vests and baggy blouses no problem Once drain was out I got the comfy bra on and loose clothing. 

 Artsie  Good old Asda! Thanks so much for the tip. 
I’d read in the Roy Castle leaflet about surgery that my MacMillan nurse sent me, about front opening tops and I’ve just bought new pyjamas for that reason (not unhappy about that!)

It’s going to be so warm for a few more days, I really must look at what I’ve got stashed away that might be comfortable and cool, to tide me over the post-op recovery x

Yes comfort is the key

I bought two blouses that were huge I wore one once and they’re both in the charity. I went with the style I like but sized up and stretchy

my slippers looked like shoes my PJ bottoms looked like hippie trews and a stretch mid sleeve T-shirt That was my discharge outfit

I stuck a body warmer on 

I walked across a Bristol City Centre zebra crossing in my pjs to get in our car and home. 

I still find that weird.
Not one looked, so you go comfy.

That’s the important thing. People don’t notice they’re too busy at their phones 

Hi I'm 9 weeks in recovery and been able  to  wear bra for  about 2 weeks now.i used the  camitops with  built in  support for 1st 6 7 weeks  and I found  stepping into  it was  much  easier than trng to  lift over your head  I got a size 16 im usually 12  but  needed the  bigger size  I had my  right upper lung removed and after the  1st  few weeks I was  fine  just go at a pace  you  find  cfortable for  you  good luck   

 Artsie  that’s quite an image! I’m sure I’ll. be similar, in full view of the Shard and all the tourists/business types, lol. Agreed that everyone just looks at their phones these days - must dig out my comfiest bits x
