My op day experiance (terrible) Started by: Anonymous

Tiff I think you just need to rest. I’m not in any way having a go, being nasty or judgemental. You’ve had a big surgery which will cause pain for you it’s only natural, it’s different for everyone and hurts more than it does others. You should never expect to have no pain as you’ve been operated on and it’s only natural to have discomfort. The pain you’re experiencing will ease with rest, medication and following the right advise you’re given. I think being so full of emotion you need to take a step back and understand you can cause a lot of fear for those still waiting to have their ops and it’s really quite unsettling to read. Please take into consideration that not everyone will have he same experience but please don’t be making such comments that can really put fear into other people. Think positive for yourself as well as others.

Tiffany we understand you’re in a lot of pain and it’s not necessarily nice but I’m sure no one fooled you and if anything you fooled yourself by not researching enough. Most certaintly no one said it was easy but bareable…

You had under the muscle implants which are prone to give you more pain and a more intensive recovery so how did you think it would be so easy?

You’ve just had the op done today, you can’t expect it to be all painless and if anything you’re feeling pressure rather than pain which if you read through most posts on here, every other girl has said the same thing.

Please don’t continue being so negative when there are so many other girls out there awaiting ops or considering the BA. It’s unfortunate you were this unlucky and I hope the pain eases off. Your recovery hasn’t even started yet for you to be that negative right away.

I must admit my surgery day went great, yes I had pain and discomfort but I wasn’t under any disillusions, I knew what I was having done as it was a choice I had made and the end product certainly outweighed any issues or worries I had and I certainly dealt with my ba better than giving birth lol.
I had unders and I know the recovery is worse that overs but it’s worth it. Hope you feel better soon. x

Oh god Didnt really need to see this two days before my opp 🙁 !!
Hope you feel better soon and your recovery gets easier x

Evening ladies… sorry to hear you had an uncomfortable experience
Not to be harsh but I work in surgery myself and i know how patients can talk etc etc with their experience sharing stories . Im having my own boobs done myself soon and im nervous .. but to think you’re going to come out of any operation pain free/ right as rain so to speak is absurd.
Everyone is different. Everyone’s pain threshold is different and reaction to anaesthetic is differe t . Please Remember this .xx

Oh bless you so sorry you had that sort of pain. Do you think your possibly immune to the pain killers they gave you during/immediately post op. I think I had quite a tough recovery all in all. I had a really rough few days those first days my chest was tight and painful too but I literally just sat/laid on the sofa. I was actually totally fine immediately post op whatever drugs they gave me in the actual surgery meant I was totally numb to it and felt nothing at all but tiredness. Totally agree that it can be painful like I say I had a quite rough recovery compared to some and your right people should definitely be prepared that they might not be the lucky ones but I definitely think something is odd about u being in that much pain right away!!

Honestly I think you might be like immune to morphine or something that’s madness Hun. I mean I really thought my recovery was one of the bad ones, but most of my pain came the day after the op. You shouldn’t really be feeling that much immediately after. There was days I cried. It is upsetting not being able to sit up urself and do things but u will get used to it and you’ll be ok. Even though it’s tough the main pain really does only last a few days, and within a few weeks you’ll feel totally fine. I’m 10wpo now and it’s like I never had them done im so comfortable and used to them. I would talk to the nurse about this back pain though. Maybe they had to push down on your chest heavily to get the implant in or something and have hurt ur back it’s very odd. Just look after yourself I’m sure girls will see you were just emotional and in pain xxx

Hi girls

Gutted for the pain your in, it must be so difficult and made all the worse from the side effects of the anaesthetic. I too have had surgery today and I wanted to let the girls on here know not to be frightened as this is not the same in all cases. I’ve not experienced any pain (but I have had overs so totally different to this scenario) or tightness on my chest. Just a little discomfort every nown and again. They look great too and the nurse are sooooo lovely, nothings too much trouble! My nipple colour looked a bit dark so they asked the doc to come and examine it just for peace of mind. Xxx

Pre op girls please don’t be put off! I was terrified and if I’d of read this before I’d of been stupidly scared! It’s really not that bad! I’m 5 days PO and have stopped all pain relief! I only took paracetamol and stopped that from day 3! Obviously there is tightness and discomfort, but I never felt actual pain. I do hope you feel better soon, but please don’t put other girls off following their dreams!

Girls as a group we need to show support to everyone, yes this might be a shock to read for girls pre op, I’m waiting and I didn’t find this scary but felt she needs support and we all have different experiences and opinions, intact I think it is informative as surgery is quite serious and shouldn’t be taken lightly, yes there are lots of girls who experience easier recovery’s but it’s also quite painful for others, I would suggest speaking to your nurse to see if they can help you and please pre op girls do not be scared or put off by this post but do take into consideration that even with pain killers pain is inevitable, each of us are different and have different thresh holds of pain, let’s all support this woman as her experience of recovery wasn’t the best, bust please post op girls be optimistic and positive but also realistic, and don’t be scared to go ahead with having boobies a little bit of pain for a greater gain! Good luck with your recovery and good luck to all the pre op girls best wishes! Xxx
