Post Op Question

Hi, I don’t think there is any hard and fast rule regarding those chest binders.I wore mine until the drain came out after a week.I showered after that! Do you have a breast care nurse you could ring?If it feels comfortable,then I’d wear it for 1-2 weeks( taking it off for showers) I probably wore a post surgery bra around the 2 week mark.Your breast care nurse or doctor can order the free Berlei post op bra from BCNA- just have to ring up.You can buy the Berlei bra in Myers but they aren’t cheap- might be 30% off at the moment though. They are very comfortable. Alternatively, there are soft comfy,crop top type bras in Best for Less for about $10( go a size bigger).I was in hospital for 3 days- they sure turfed you out quickly poor thing.Be sure to ring the hospital if you develop a high temp or get a lot of swelling in your breast.You usually get your pathology results when you see your surgeon.Take it easy and let others look after you.Take pain relief as needed and don’t wait till it’s bad.I think I was driving and back to work after about 3 wks. Ofcourse it depends on what you do and how you are healing. Best wishes,gentle hugs. Tonya
