Did you have your gallbladder removed at the time of your op? I wonder if that's why some people's scars are higher than others. Mxx

They've nearly sold out and only have size 7 left. (I'm not really sure what size 7 is - but I think it's pretty big) Mxx

Lol he does that Lesley. My scar starts just under my boobs and goes into my belly button... And I still can't wear a bra nearly eight weeks on.
Mind you as painful as it is, I do get hubbie to help me struggle into one if going out somewhere and rip it straight off when I get back cause they are just too big to let hang free and swing about.
Having said that I need to buy some new bra's anyway because I've gone down from 46HHH to 40FF (got them measured the other day) but at this rate I'm beggining to wonder if its worth it for a while.

Marion, I had Miss Heitmann and my scar starts about 3-4" from under my boobs (measuring from where they join together at the bottom), and to about 1" above my belly button. If you have gallbladder out it wouldn't be any higher, as gallbladder is lower down. My gallbladder scar from an op nearly 20 years ago is 4" down from the top of my new scar.
I haven't had any problem wearing a bra, except the first couple of days when everything ached so much. I am 48GG (well was, gone down in back size a couple of inches) - bra still fitting normally though as they never fit in the first place, I haven't found any decent bras for years in the right size that actually fit, so have been wearing Evans cheapie no wires, out of a plastic bag type bras. They're very comfy for now!!!

I have a couple of Bravissimo pyjama tops which are similar - I think the under-boobs-elasticated-bit would get in the way of the scar. That's why I wondered about a front fastening sports bra - with half the front left undone and tucked out of the way. But finding one in a G cup is proving impossible! xx M xx :cry:

This is something I have struggled with for years - trying to find a decent bra that holds my over ample boobs in - great website - Bras, plus size bra, swimwear, lingerie, underwear, from Ample Bosom - does big and I mean big sizes.

I think the big problem (apart from the size of the bazookas) is that, as Lesley says, Mr Khan's scars are high under the boobs (I will be done by Mr Khan) so there needs to be some kind of gap where the scar starts. Hmmm. Terri came up with a good idea - to use a sarong/scarf arrangement brought around from the back, crossed over at the front and tied around the back of the neck. I'm going to have a practice.

Marion, do you know you'll definitely be done by Mr Khan? They don't allocate the dates until your anaesthetist appt and it is a lottery over which one you get. Unless you are definitely having lap RNY you could have Miss Heitmann... at least you'd be okay for your bra then!!

hiya ladies..
welll.. after reading the posts.. thought would share...
when I had my band fitted, I was wayyyyyyyyyyy to sore to attempt to wear a bra.. my port wound is about 5 ins below bottom of my boobaloos but the issue for me was the port itself..
that is where the lower banding/elastic of the bra was perssing and with it already being sore and uncomfortable due to swelling.. I wasn't able to wear an over the shoulder boulder holder up until 12 days ago.. (and am a size 46FF..) unfortunatley for me.. couldnt find a sports bra that went up that big and ended up using a strappy top and tucking it underneath my boobaloos.. nothing to stick in or rub against anything and as it was comfortable for me.. it worked..
Now am able to wear my bras.. and have treated myself to a couple of new ones.. from here - Simply Yours | Gorgeous underwear for girls with curves: lingerie, bras, corsets, basques, shapewear, swimwear, nightwear | Simply Yours - Simply Yours
Good luck with whatever and however you decide to keep your mammaries from meandering ;-)

braless...oh no!
OK - as you can see from the pic, proportionately, my blammers are the biggest part of my body, and the prospect of going bra-less both in the hosp and out of it poses a bit of a problem. They don't do sports bra's in my size (HH) and my bra's have more support than an Isombard Brunnel bridge.
So - for those of you key-holers out there (and bearing in mind mine swing to about waist / belly button level when not in bra) - where abouts are these scar's likely to be?

Oooh I didn't know that! I just assumed it would be Mr. Khan. I'm having open surgery.

I tried the sling idea today - my long scarf wasn't really long enough! I bit the bullet and ordered the sports bra from Figleaves (careful, American sizing) so we'll see if that does the trick.

Was that the slinging over the shoulder or the strapping up sling?
