1 month after BMX w/o recon, just want to get comfortable

Itzy

I'm hoping for some good ideas of camisoles/bras/garments to enhance my physical comfort.  I wore an Amoena camisole for drain management 24/7 for the first 9 days, and found myself with far less discomfort than I had anticipated.  The drawback to that camisole though was that I found the arm opening much too small.  I tried the fiberfill forms (removing at least 2/3 of the fiberfill, as I only started out as an A cup).  They were so high up on my chest that they nearly hit my chin!  But the positive I believe was the compression across my chest above the area of the incisions.  After drain removal, I stopped wearing that cami, and went back to my plain old cotton camis with shelf bras.  I found it easy enough to put the breast forms under it, but that's when I started having more discomfort, feeling like there was a piece of hard wood affixed to my chest.  At times it felt like a wide elastic band, and at times, it would feel like a heavy duty rubber band, much more narrow. 

Just a couple days ago, I reverted to the breast binder I had received after one of my biopsies.  That provided major relief, but I now put the breast forms over my newly formed (and still tender) dimples next to the arm pits.  Last night was the first night I slept with the breast binder, and woke up with much less discomfort.  But when I got into the shower, I could sense that hard wood feeling coming on.  I do have an appointment with the BS in 10 days, and will address this with her.  Plus, she referred me to lymphedema therapy/OT for cords she found on exam the day she removed the drains. 

I really would appreciate garment suggestions.  I work from home, and am able to do so with very little trouble, and am so grateful for that.  Therefore, achieving a better "look" is not on my radar screen as of yet.  I have some nice little mastectomy pillows that I still use when resting/sleeping, a kind gift from a thoughtful friend.  I did order the Valetta camisole that looked promising, but didn't like the fit below the breasts (hate that second skin sort of thing).  And, I found it a little too tight at the arm pit area.  I am a missy size 10 or 12 or so.
