Going on Holiday!

Hi Girls, I have my surgery in 2 days (10th) and i’m due to go on holiday on the 3rd of September, would I be okay to fly to Cape Verde and will I be able to wear my bikini in the day and my sports bra at night time at this point! ???? Xx

You need to wear your sports bra all day everyday for first 6 weeks xx

You should be ok to fly but you won’t be able to wear a bikini as u will only be just over 3 weeks post you need to stay in you post op bra 24/7 for 7 weeks xxx

I went to turkey 5weeks post op! Unfortunately your not aloud to go in the swimming pool till your past your 6week mark which was so hard for me with having 3 kids who spent a lot of time in the pool. I bought some triangle shaped sports bras with thin shoulder straps and worn them under my swim wear, you can also buy the body control swim suits which have support in. I only changed into these first thing in the morning and in the evening while the kids went in the pool, It was good as we had a tiny shallow pool as well which I could sit in and the water didn’t come up to my boobs so I still got to go in the water lol. After a hour I’d get changed into my sports bra and put on a vest top and shorts, I did sweat a lot over there in the 56degree heat lol but I had to keep these new boobs covered and supported! I bought 2 really nice bright colour sports bras with were nice and supportive to wear under my vest tops just so I didn’t have my mya bra on show all the time.. if u go shopping and find some nice sports bras that have good support which u wouldn’t mind wearing on holiday send photos to your nurse or pc and just check they will be fine to wear but I’m sure they will be fine xx

Hi, I was told no travel for 4 weeks short haul or 6 weeks long haul as per my pack and I checked with the nurse as I travelling a lot with work xx

I’m going on a long haul flight just short of 5 weeks PO. I was told no bikinis for the first 4 weeks and after that should be fine. I didn’t go through MYA but I’ve been told a lot of different things compared to people who do go to MYA even with sleeping etc.. they seem to be quite strict on everything which is probably better in the long run. Enjoy your holiday 🙂

@vickii109 Can I ask where you got your sports bras from for your holiday. I’ve jus booked to go away when I’ll be 8wpo and feel nervous about not wearing a sports bra for support anymore by then xx

Hi Amanda, I bought some in primark, TK max and m&s! You can get ones with the support you still need you just need to shop about! I spent hours in th changing rooms trying on so many items, u will no which are good and which aren’t… still wear your post op bra to bed xx

Hey Girls, I spoke to the surgeon yesterday before the op and he said i’m fine to fly after two week and just to wear my post op bra at night time and if I can in the day, he told me to get a nice bikini though and just enjoy it! Biggest bit of advise was to keep them out of the sun really xxxx
