Urgently need a BHIS bra

[LadyPumpkinseed]

Hi ladies, I’ve a big bust and definitely need to wear a proper support bra post heart surgery. BHIS have a 2 week wait for my size and sister size. I’ve ordered a medium bra from Reco heart in the meantime and hope this helps but - do any of you still have a BHIS size 36E or 34DD in good condition you might like to sell?

Probably unhelpful but I ordered mine last night from Amazon and they arrive today - but I’m the other end of the boob scale (small verging on the flat) but they did have all sizes advertised for next day delivery . Good luck

I don't know what heart surgery you are referring to but when I had my bypass surgery after a few days I managed to put my ordinary underwire bras back on.I had bought the pull over your head ones but gave them away.

I am a busty 42E so need a supportive bra.

Thanks Heather1957, mines mitral valve repair. Hope you’re doing well after your bypass

Yes thank you, I count myself very lucky.

HI, I have a nearly new BHIS bra 42c if you want it (am not planning to use it again!?) I bought two but the first one became stained. This one is in v.good condition. Was going to sell it so a contribution would be good. Let me know.I also had my Mitral valve done and only knew when it became serious and I went to the doctor with a cough. Will catch up with your posts and compare notes. I am pretty much OK now so try not to worry.

Sorry, just read your post properly and mine will be too big I think.

[LadyPumpkinseed in reply to funnyfennel]

Thanks so much for the thoughtful response- my Reco heart bra just arrived and I’m wearing it now! Size Medium, I’ve put shoulder strap hooks on loosest and it’s v comfy. Only thing is the hooks down front are so tiny if I’m not wearing glasses it would be v challenging! Hope the nurses have good eyesight 😂 You’re right, 42c wouldn’t work but it was worth putting this out there just incase. I don’t have many notes as yet - I did DM you re TOE 😱My surgery is on Wednesday so I’m looking forward to posting while off my head on drugs 😂

[LadyPumpkinseed in reply to funnyfennel]

I hope you’re doing really well, it’s so useful reading different experiences, especially recent ones with same surgery

[funnyfennel]

Such a shame that my one is too big. It was useful and I would undo a few of the hooks for comfort sometimes. It was quite tight after the op (swelling I suppose) and afterwards, at home, I used it for bed and my normal soft cotton ones in the daytime.) re post op immediately after.....its hard to remember anything so try not to worry. Its such a relief to get it done. All the best to you

Hi

My cousin recommended Asda online. I was dubious but they had a 2 pack of post surgery front fastening bras for £18.. I'm a 34G and they seem OK but haven't had my surgery yet.
