    Hi,

    I’m due to have my surgery on the 9th march and I’ve been looking at post surgery bras, I was recommended the Macom Bra but they are quite expensive and my pc told me about the ones you can get from M&S but I’m worried the seams with rub on my stitches.

    If you could send me some links to ones you have used and would recommend that would be amazing.
    I’m so excited about my surgery and want to have everything ready to go.

    Thanks in advance ladies.

    Heya, I have got 2 off the m and s ones. The white with pink trim an black with leopard trim… Very comfy, easy to get on and they sit below your incisions nicely x

    Thank you Leanne, I don’t really know what size I’m going to be but my PC said to get a D and a DD.

    I’m so excited I just wish it was tomorrow! What size did you go to if you don’t mind me asking?

    I’m a 32B and I’m getting 340cc, I hadn’t even thought about back size so thanks for the heads up.

    Who was your surgeon and which hospital did you go to? I’m really nervous about being put to sleep as this is my first time, so don’t really know what to expected and I’ve hardly got any sleep of late due to being so excited. Ha ha it’s like Christmas all over again…..in fact it’s way better than Christmas!!!

    Sorry hun. It was late wen I typed last post… I had 385cc…
    Yeah cos of swelling go up a backsize so get yourself a 34… I was told I’d be a DD plus so I got a DD and E and ended up in the E’s and took DD one back… After swelling goes down an settles they may shrink a little… Lol. Can’t get measured until
    6 week mark as they will change so much and do each day.
    I had dr kazzazi, at park hill at Doncaster.
    Don’t be nervous bout being put to sleep Hun… U never had before an was so nervous but you don’t feel a think, just close ur eyes and imagine being laid on a nice beach… U just drift off to sleep and next thing ur awake with new boobs… 🙂
    Don’t do a me… I woke up looked at the nurse an started crying for noooo reason at all… Prob just overwhelmed… Lol.
    If you need to ask anything else just ask… This forum is great for answering all last min questions an settling nerves 🙂 xx

    That’s alright Leanne, I wasn’t expecting such quick replies.
    How long ago did you have your operation? I was told they sit really high for about a year until they settle properly.

    I’ve got Dr Fallahdar, at Highgate in London.
    You know what it’s like, unfortunately I watched that film awake years ago and it’s freaked me out a bit and I’ve found I’ve probably worked myself up about it for no reason! Ha ha.
    I probably will cry, I’ve been looking forward to this for years!
    The forum is great, it’s definately put my mind to rest on some questions I’ve had but in some cases it has made me a little freaked out.
    I just need to relax, remember why I’m doing this, and look towards the end result. x

    Honestly Ive never had anaesthetic before an it was a breeze, you don’t feel a thing! You will worry it’s natural but it will all be worth it!
    Had mine two weeks ago yesterday… They change daily lol, I quite like the high up look, tried on a strapless dress the other night out of curiosity an they look great no bra needed 🙂 xx

    Hi Hun , adsa does a double set for £7 its a must for sleeping in , I brought them after my one week check also would recommend a bra extender strap for night time , bras seem to feel tighter at night also they can feel like there cutting in evern the next size up sometimes once they swell.xx

    Thanks Leanne, you really have put my mind to rest. How did you find your recovery and how much time did you take off work?

    Hi Em, I think the ones you have mentioned have just gone on sale so they have barely any sizes left but I will keep an eye out for new stock. Definitely not looking forward to night time as I am a massive fidget. Do you think it would be safe to take sleeping tablets?

    Hi Kerry I just accepted you, that’s no problem at all. When are you booked in for? x

    I’ve got my pillow ready to go just need to give the case a wash as it was my grans, so hasn’t seen the light of day for a long while. I think you’re probably right on the money as I’ve had weeks of crap sleep due to excitement! Do you think I could add you?

    Hi Kerry I’d never had an anistetic before and was so worried , now I don’t no what I was fussing about . It was a clear fluid in a syringe then a taste in my mouth . I remember laughing then I was asleep. I woke up hearing ppl talking in the room , before I woke they had already given my morphine so I was very smilie. Waved at everyone felt so happy I forgot to look down , and see my new boobies . I was very dosie for a couple of hours but found it quite funny like being drunk after I ate and had a cup of tea I started to wake up more . Xx
