Ladies - did you have this problem...When I sit, my bra bothers the top of my incision. Not a problem when I'm standing or walking, but driving, it makes me crazy. What to do?

Also - I hate to buy new anything now - but I think I have to invest in a couple sports bras. These daily walks are not as comfortable as they could be...Just hate to spend the money. Is there somewhere on line I could get a plus-size sports bra? Everything I see out there is very small.

Walmart has them up to 2x. They are like 6 bucks. Target has some larger sizes too

My girls were free for about 3 weeks after surgery, but when I started to wear a bra, it did bother me, so I would take tissue and put it between the incision and the bra to sort of cushion it. It does get better, and everything is back to normal now

Ok, I didn't have the open procedure, but since Gina brought it up, I do have a 'bra' question. It seems like when I have a bra on, it must hit 'Fred' (my pouch) in a bad place. If I drink it is very uncomfortable and I have to either sort of stick out my chest, or actually reach up under my shirt and pull at my bra. Am I nuts?

Sports bra sounds like the way to go.I,like the others,let the twins out.I still only round them up if I leave the house.I can't wait till I have them lifted and they stay up high.

My friend told me he can no longer cross his arms over his chest - he described it as feeling like he had his testicles put into his chest.

Didn't sound like any fun to me!

I'm going out of the house a couple times a day! And when I'm on the tread mill at the gym, it is a must. So I'll stop in at Target this weekend. (Hadn't thought of that one)

Thanks!

I'm not sure about testicels But I did name my pouch Fred because if it doesn't get it's way, it gets PO'd, just like a man!! I thought maybe my posture was just bad becuase I have been so big for so long and my chest is big so my shoulders curl, you know what I mean? Maybe I'm just looking for something to complain about

But, sports bra's at Wal-mart are good, I think they were Hanes Her Way. I got some before surgery and they are much more comfortable, but I don't feel good in them going out. It make my 2 big boobs, 1 big boob (but they were pretty cheap, so it can't hurt to try)
