I had to wear a binder that they gave me. Sometimes my rib or another area hurt so I stuffed it with something soft. I had gotten some loose fitting blouses before the surgery and those turned out to be good. I got 4 and only had to wear them for a month or so. When I first came home I had the binder on, then I had a camisole that I got at the hospital, I had to tuck my drainage bulbs in there. My drainage bulbs came out after 4 weeks. And got rid of the camisole at the same time. So the loose shirts did well. I like the undershirt idea.
I live in Tampa also. Are you going to Moffitt? I was blessed with an angel of a surgeon.
