450cc under the muscle 4 days past op Started by: Louise

Hey all of this is normal. I didn’t have any issues with constipation etc like many others but I’m still bloated and not my usual self. I’m 2 weeks post op. I think it’s a combination of not moving as much and poor posture after surgery.

I wouldn’t be loosening your bra, you need the compression to help with swelling. At my post op appointment I was told that as the swelling goes down I should be moving over to the tighter clasps on the Macom bra to make sure they’re still supported.
What are you using to sleep? I used a v shape pillow propped up on three ordinary pillows and a memory foam neck pillow to support my neck. Honestly I was quite comfortable and slept for 6 hours most nights.

I got 350hp unders. My post op wasn’t until day 12 as my surgeon prefers that you’re seen on day 10 and then I had to fit it around work etc. It’s really quick. The nurse asks if you’ve been okay, takes bandages off, has a look and then either redress your incisions for another week or because my post op was later I’d healed really well so I got all mine off and got the okay to shower, wear any kind of sports bra and lay down in bed again

Haha yeah showering is still a bit scary. I’m scared of bending down without a bra on because they feel like they’re going to fall off 😂😂

Since getting my bandages off on Monday they look so much better. I love them. If you want to message me your number im happy to show you some pictures. I don’t want to post them on here because there’s some dodgy folk on here

Nice to hear you are recovering well Natasha. Did you manage to drive a week post op in the end? How have you found managing the pain etc since?
