Simple Mastectomy preparation and recovery

claire1190

I'd appreciate your advice as I prepare for a simple mastectomy next week. I'm 77 years old and currently living in a hotel due to water damage in our home. Questions that have already come to mind include:

1) What can I do in advance of the procedure to increase my likelihood of success?

2) How much discomfort should I expect following the procedure.

3) Will I receive two surgical bras?

4) What is a "puff"? I assume it is something that you place in the bra but I"m unsure

5) How long before I can order new bras? I understand that Medicare covers the expense. Is this correct?

Thank you
