Post Op bra size and checklist :)

Hey everyone,

My op is in January so starting to buy a few things leading up to the big day. I’ve got my V pillow sorted just need to get my post op sports bra now .. I was just wondering what size to get!? Is it recommended to get the next back size up?
I’m currently a 34 B and getting 375cc overs so would you recommend me to get a 36 back size?
Also, any tips on what to pack for my op & hospital bag would be great 🙂

Thanks xxxx

My op is in Jan and getting next size up band Macom and also normal band size M&S post surgery bras xx

I ordered a medium Macom which is supposed to be right for a 34 back which I was pre op. Luckily I also bought a bra from Amazon which I took op day with me because after I had my 450cc implants that Macom was never going to fit. I have since exchanged it for a large which to be honest isn’t as comfortable as my Amazon one (which I’ve now ordered 3 of haha). I was 34a before and with slightly bigger implant so I would say you will need the same as me. Also other bits to buy are a sippy cup or some straws, ice packs gel ones are best, a hot water bottle for your back, peppermint and ginger teas for bloating, arnica tablets for bruising (I took these straight after the op for 7 days and had no bruising when I had the strapping off. The nurse thought I looked fab). Make sure you have button up or zip up and trackies for op day and the following few days.

Hiya what were the amazon post op bra you got? I’m researching trying to find the right one ?? I’m a 34B getting 400CC so looking at what size and brand to get

Hi I was 34b and had 375cc behind. I brought an m&s 34dd which was ok for 1st couple of days but I’m now in 36dd and now 21dpo. The 36dd is so comfortable.
I stayed over night and just got button up front pjs, mag and then to travel home in leggings, uggs and button up shirt also a warm coat.x
Good luck x
