Hi Frankie, nice to know I’m not alone, I forgot last night and used my right arm to pull the cover over me, my boob muscle tensed it felt horrible! Totally freaked out. Tried not doing much so far, only had an hours sleep as sleeping at an angle is proving difficult. Have just woke up from another hours nap and not feeling as restricted with arms although still very stiff. Also struggling with breathing and talking. Yet to take the white tape off I’m dreading it! 🙁 Wishing you a quick recovery xx

Thank you all, I was told to stop taking my vitamins before surgery due to blood thinning but forgot to ask when is ok to take them again? xx

Sorry not a great before pic, didn’t get any with bra off but this is a push up padded bra xx

Hi Kay, it won’t upload, the nurse told me to take tape off today but if I absolutely couldn’t then I could leave it on, it’s off now, took me a good half an hour to get it off, was hard as very sticky but I couldn’t leave it half off once I started. I still have the dressing over stitches which is what I was told to leave on until my check up. How are you coping with sitting down and getting up and sleeping? I’m finding it hard to get at all comfortable xx

Hi Illy, what’s Amica? xx

Good luck with your surgery Alison. I know everyone is different but I hear it’s not as painful when they are over muscle. Good luck Hun xx

Oh god no Kay, I coulnt go near those I would definitely faint 🙁 I’ll leave that to the professionals. I have my sports bra on and band on still. So much pressure can’t wait for it to ease over time and to see actual size as they don’t look much bigger at the moment, but someone said when they fluff they will look bigger? Such an overwhelming process xx
