Attention Tx Ladies

With me I was happy of the results.
I was slightly round shouldered before, nothing dramatic, but my boobs were tiny.

I now am larger in the boobs.... it is okay, but the hassle is when I go running, or walking - they sweat.

So my bra size increased. If it is uncomfortable to wear a bra at first after tx, go bralass, and then try a sports bra. I agree, underwire makes me nuts. The wire is right on the scar and can be irratating. I am almost 10 years post.

You never know what the results to your boobs will be post tx.

Duh. When I looked at Tx I thought TX as in Texas. I thought "Well everything is bigger in Texas" maybe they have a hard time finding bras.
Ok, I'm an idiot!

I havent had my tx yet but i do have a scar under my left boob from surgery i had as a baby. I find that in hot weather underwire bothers it a lot, and i have a problem with it rubbing and irriating it. I find that it gets red a lot and almost rash like, and it looks almost like i've got a sun burn around it. Then that peels from the irriation. When it gets like that I just wear sports bras like everyone else and it helps a lot. Also, i find when it gets irritated that if i apply cream to the scar it seems to help a lot.

Mine got smaller i think and my sis and i noticed they were a little uneven after surgery, like they did a little lypo or something hehe, as if i needed that <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">. I did gain weight because of fluid right after tx but in 2 weeks that was away and i went from 42.5 kg before tx to 45.5 and back to 39 kg for a bit.. So maybe that is what happened too. That i lost it in the wrong places hehe. As i'm thin but do have a belly so i wouldn't matter if i had lost it there.

The underwire doesn't bother my scar however i had one or two that with certain movements contacted the wire in my sternum i wrote about in another post. And that hurts.
