    Oh Gee I waited for 5 or 6 days before I could get the courage to put it on and then it was only for a few hours.  I took some of the stuffing out and it’s more comfortable today.

    It may depend a lot on your actual surgery. I wore the bra I had on when I went into hospital when I went home and for months thereafter, perfectly comfortably. Doctor’s advice is important, but it also depends on the exact positioning of the surgical cut(s), your healing rate and the type of bra.
