Sewright,
Quite honestly, I didn\'t pay much for the bras. They were purchased in a K-Mart/Walmart type store and they did have the front closure. Hanes had a back closure but if you have someone to help you they were comfortable. Bestform had the front closure. My cousin just had a reduction also but her PS had her wear a very flimsy Warner bra after the surgery. This just shows how different PS are in their thoughts. With regards to the meds, I think they gave me something in my IV. When I had bunion surgery I remember they gave me a demerol-type drug in the IV prior to the surgery. I also don\'t recall being \"strapped-in\" at all! If you have anxiety, I would definitely speak with the PS and tell him very firmly that you want something to relax you. I was under the impression that all surgeons did that. I\'ve had 3 surgeries in my life (other than C-sections) and I\'ve been given something for each of them to help relax me. If you have other ?s let me know!
