Hi Girls!

Loving the help the forum gives out and find you get quicker replies on here so wanted to ask another question!!

I bought a sports bra from M&S in a 36DD (currently empty 34C getting 4250 or 450) I tried it on and its a little tight but ofcourse baggy on the boobs! I am going to take it with me however just wondered if I will okay with just the strapping if the bra is too tight!

My mum can go out for me Friday or Saturday to get the correct bra! I don’t really want to fork out £40+ for a Macom if I can avoid it!!!!

Any advice?? xxx

Hi Hun, I took a sports bra with me but it was way too tight and wasn’t long enough so it was pushing on mu incisions, Iv just been in my strapping, Iv got a shock absorber bra which is slightly too tight around my back but think it should be ok when I get my strapping off.

Thanks @lexi ! I did speak to the nurse yesterday evening and she said I should be okay! How has your recovery been? Feeling worried about the recovery! I return back to work on Wednesday but can do light duties (I am a receptionist) Happy healing! x

It’s been ok just abit boring where I’m used to being busy, it’s not painful I think the worst bit is waking up in the morning and being so stiff. I’m going back on Monday but I’m worried about driving, everyone else has had 2 weeks off it seems. Thank you lovely. Hope everything goes well. Xx

@lexi I am worried about the fact that I am going to eat the whole wide world when I’m off! Glad I’ll be recovering over the weekend so my family will be in too! How long have you been off for? Thank-you! xx

£40 is a drop in the ocean when you compare how much your boobies cost, last thing you want to do is not have the support they need. If you put in ‘Mya2015’ into the Macom website you get 15% off.

I bought a macom as I have no idea what size I will be when I’ve had the op and it’s the safest option for me, rather than buying a load of bras that won’t fit xx

I used macoms they are great for the first days as the cups stretch to fit so u dont have to worry about size x

No – just go by your back size as they have lots of hook and eye things so you can have it looser when swollen xx

Asda do really good front fastening sports bras, they’re basically the same as the macoms x
