Hi everyone, just wanting to know how you managed with your toddler after having the op done? 🙂
I personally found it really hard my mum half way home offered to have my little boy for a week .. Some people feel next to no pain though .. Depends on your pain factor and size 🙂 you should be ok with a teeny bit of help:-) how olds your little one?c
I have a 32 month old and a 18 month old, I had my op on Wednesday and I have my mum staying with me to help out. I feel absolutely fine but unable to pick them up .. X
I’m not good with pain lottie haha.. He’s 13 months and quite clingy. I think ill try get as much help as possible 🙂
Hi Megan,it probs sound strange but are you able to make meals and stuff for them? It’s just someone said you can’t lift your arms?
I have a 3 year old, and my partner looked after him mainly for the first 4 days, he had to go back to work then, and luckily by day 5 I felt much better and did everything myself xx
Sooo much better now that awful strapping is off 🙂 x
I’ve not had to do anything but there is no way I could get them in and out the bath and get my little one changed .. I found it hard to open the fridge door until today so I’d defo recommend getting help 🙂 x
That’s good. Well I went for my consultation today,and I could be getting it done as soon as 4 weeks time, really nervouse now.. So I’m just trying to get as much info as possible really. Your lucky then megan haha..Did you get unders or overs girls??
I’m 4 weeks po and I’m just staring to be able to pick my 22 month old up but still have to be very carefully, I did have a uplift as well though x
Oh really!! That’s a long time isn’t it.. Do you have any advice or tips for me? Xx
I had overs, I had an uplift with implants I went from a 32h to an empty 32e after breast feeding, I had 295/325 overs. I am so pleased with what I can see at the minute. I thought it would be more painful than it is, I’m made up x
Hi tamlyn I’m booked in to have my op 8 th feb I also have a toddler . I’m sure he’s gonna run rings round me while I’m recovering . Can I add u ?, it would be nice to speek to someone who’s having their op around the same time as me .x
I think you can go home the same day but I stayed because I had an uplift, went home at 9am the next day x
Yeah em add me, where you having it done?? Ahh have you how old is your little one? X
I’m lucky that I have a 9yr old as well so she’s been my little slave lol to be honest I’ve just had to leave my hubby to do most things!! Try to have loads of snacks and easy dinner stuff in and try to put everything you need at a easy reach able level, I nearly passed out when I tried to reach up for some juice xx
Haha bless.. Well I’m gonna have to just let my partner take over the house for a few days,god help me!!! We’re did you get it done Kirsty?? xx
I had mine done 3 weeks ago, my little boy is 4 and little girl was 13 months at time of op. for the first week my husband or my mum looked after them. I was around but to be honest pretty much in bed for the first 3 days. I’m now day 26 post op and have felt back to normal fully for about a week now. Not back in the gym yet as was advised a month. My 13 month old is very clingy to me but was fine… Although couldn’t have done it without my other half and my mum! X
Thanks Kerry.. How do they feel on you now?? Are they still a little sore and heavy?? xx
Hey Hun, when I had mine done last year I was admitted at 7am had my op around 930 and was out by dinner time and was lucky as I didn’t have any pain really at all, was in the cinema the same night in finchley as I was staying over in hotel, I have two lil ones and alto I felt really good I still couldn’t pick them up watch with is hard so luckily my hubby was able to take a few days off to help x
That’s nice an quick,I hope I’m like you 🙂 haha.. Dreading the pain!! X
I’m having it done in the fitzroy hospital London . Iv got three boys 9,6 and two , my husbands booked a wk off work . Guess that means he’s gonna be doing the shopping . Lol. Unhealthy eating for a week .
I think there less pain with overs . I rang my pc and asked if I’m having overs or understand she said its not clear on my surgeons notes she’s gonna get back to me Realy hoping I can hav over s. fingers crossed.
I could physically make meals but didn’t have any strength :/ my 2 year olds clingy too insists on uppy uppy alot haha but with help your be fine 🙂 avoid the little elbows and dives they try to do lol
I have a little girl who has just turned one and to be honest, even though i had overs, I would have struggled on my own with her for the first couple of weeks. My hubby took 2 weeks off work and I let him do everything ( the poor love couldn’t wait to get back to work for a rest). I can carry her ok now but I have to hold her differently so as not to hurt my new boobies. I’ve been feeding her in her baby bouncer instead of her high chair since my hubby went back to work just to make things a little easier for me lifting wise, I’m sure you’ll be fine as long as you take things easy. My little babba isn’t walking yet so that’s made things tonnes easier for me too! x
Yeah I heard that, the recovery is alot quicker,hopefully I can have overs too! What size you going for em? That’s all I’m fussed abawt really is being able to meals and stuff for the little one,even tho I will have help off my patner for a few days. That’s an idea Sharon ill have to get one of them toddler chair thingys,just to make it easyer. Thanks girls 🙂 xx
I’m having 615 cc with dr Singh feb 8 th . I’m really excited its not Realy that long to wait now. 🙂
Not its not long at all.. I bet you are 🙂 well I will look out for you to see how u get on x
I’m gonna post my pics on . Mostly because iv not seen anyone els with my frame having the 615 cc dr Singh thinks he can make the breast to as natrelle as any breast job can . I’m still trying to find tops that button at the front . Anyone found any in the shops heard there best after surgery .
I had unders as its a lot more natrual and they grow as the heal my first night sleep last night was intrestin and very pain full 🙁 I was patient and waited till ny youngest was in school as I’m a single monther my mum will be helpin me thou 🙂
My youngest was 11months and on reflection I wouldn’t do it again. I couldn’t lift her for a week and even after that it still hurt. I healed really quickly and really well with no complications so cant imagine if anything had gone wrong. I felt so selfish as she was desperatr to cuddle me 🙁 my 5year old understood not to jump on me but wasn’t happy she couldn’t sit on my knee etc. My hubby had a week off work and did everything. I struggled with getting dressed! X
