Juneboobies Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Where is everyone getting their post surgery button up tops from? I can't seem to find any winter ones.. More ones with short sleeves.. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newster Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Not sure where you're located but try an op shop. Or maybe even Harbortown or an outlet store? Have you tried looking for a zip up cardigan perhaps? Good luck! arahia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Win Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 I was looking around everywhere for one before surgery & ended up getting a light top from kmart a couple of sizes bigger & the day of surgery I just stepped into it when I got dressed. They'd already put my post op bra on for me but I got dressed just before I went home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasminee Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 this might sound like a dumb question but is it also difficult to pull up your pants after surgery? as in should i buy loose trackies or do i just have to worry about button up tops?

That's not a silly question weird things are hard after surgery things you wouldn't expect. For the first couple of days I just wore a nightie so I wouldn't have to worry about pants but anything that's easy to get down will be helpful & at least you'll be comfy if it's not an issue for you!

Lucylou Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 I no what u mean. I ended up going to K Mart, I found these really light material zip up hoodies, I didn't wear a tshirt under them, just my post op bra. Got it in a bigger size. They were perfect with trackies and harem pants around the house the first week. After that it's fine putting on things over head. Mind you I have just been sticking to loose tops and cardi's so far. I am 11 days post op.. Don't forget button up pj's also, bigger sizes are easier to get on to start with. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab1990 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Only place I found button up shirts was kmart. I looked everywhere and so glad I had them but now it's colder I would just wear a zip up jumper. OMG pants was one thing I didn't think about before surgery, I had so much bloating none of my normal shorts actually fitted. I was wearing baggy shorts but it made it easier to pull them up because I did have a bit of trouble with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddah Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 I found button up shirts harder to put on the normal ones!! I was fine with over head shirts from day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsAlwaysRight Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 I found button up shirts harder to put on the normal ones!! I was fine with over head shirts from day 1 me too! couldnt put my arm back to get it on, much easier for me to go over my head. I found Dotti had some wide strapped loose fitting singlet style tops for $10 each, these are good for covering up the ugly crop/post op bras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krittie Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 I opted for a zip up jumper it was so cold last week at night when I left the hospital and I was glad I did . I just wore a normal shirt in and left in my compression bra and zip up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
