Not sure I can wait till Friday till this strapping comes off, I’m sure it’s getting tighter. And now I’m freaking out about it coming off too. Is it really painful? ? :'(
I’m not getting mine off til Tuesday so count yourself lucky! 🙁 Ive already peeled little bits and that hurt so I’m scared too 🙁 it’s soo tight isn’t it x
It will get worse as you go on! It did for me by 5 days I wanted to rip it off. It hurt me when the nurse took mine off I almost passed out had to lay down! But I’m a wimp like that and she was tugging pretty hard! Depends on yourself it’s a relief when it’s off though xxx
Hey ladies ahh the strapping off you so look forward to it but then once it’s taken off you realize just how much support it was giving you! It doesn’t hurt one little bit having it taken off although you think it will not at all! Your body will be red and maybe a lil bit itchy too (I had cuts from where my strapping was so tight!)you will then spend the next week cleaning off the glue bits that no matter how many times you scrub off will always appear again an hour later!!! On the whole it is much easier to move around etc without the strapping on good luck ladies xx
Oh god it can’t get any tighter I can barely breath as it is. Emma I was originally booked in for Monday which would have been 10 days po but I just couldn’t bare the thought of 3 more days so changed to Friday. I def like the support it gives just the itching and tightness I can’t stand. Oh well just gonna have to put up with it..winge over 🙂
Yeah I don’t think I could of lasted that long haha! It feels strange with it off and like Jenny said you don’t realise how much support it gives you! But worth it 🙂 you can let then breathe haha xx
Having mine taken off friday, had an image of them pulling it off like they would a wax strip, cant wait so itchy! Plus I just want to have a good look at them, they are still all numb, anyone elses still numb?x
Certain areas are numb like my nips but I’m sure that’s normal and there can be a chance that feeling doesn’t come back. I keep getting a really sharp pain in my left boob think it’s because there so close together and my scars are really really itchy. And yes bloody desperate to get a good look 😉
Hey Anna is healing going well Hun? It goes quick! I’m now 2 weeks po and mine are still quite numb not worried all my nerves have been messed about with, they are also still quite itchy still it’s the dry skin! :-/ you don’t need to worry it doesn’t hurt and I think they are more scared of hurting you than anything I had to keep telling my nurse no go on keep pulling it doesn’t hurt honestly lol xx
I am having mine of Thursday now, couldn’t even wait till Friday and just having it done 1 day earlier has made feel so much better!!!! has anyone else had headaches and been thirsty all the time? thinks its the meds!! I only have 2 pain killers left….:(
Oh chloe that’s not fair lol that’s got me thinking to move my appt again now, were they bothered it was a day earlier?? No I’ve not had any headaches but have been drinking lots. How many tablets have you been taking a day? I’m sure you could prob take some normal painkillers or see if chemist has anything stronger. I’ve only been having 1-2 first thing as that’s when I’m most achey and maybe 1 in day and then it starts annoying me towards bedtime so take another, not really sure they do very much for me though, if it could take away itching that would be bliss 🙂
no there were fine, I couldn’t make the Friday so just moved me to thursday! I havnt taken many pain killers either, last few days I have had about 3 or 4 all day and been taken 1 at a time not 2. I have woken today and feel really sick and in more pain than normal. feels like the strapping is pulling on my cuts :S really dont feel good 🙁 x
Chloe, what painkillers did you have and how regular are you talking them? After my op I took co dydramol that I was prescribed every 4 hours for 2 days! (Big mistake) that made me feel soooo ill I had the biggest headache, thirsty and feeling mega sleepy so I stopped taking them and took paracetamol for a bit and used the others if I really needed then xx
Its really rubbish isn’t it. I think the lack of sleep, not being able to shower etc and this poxy strapping is all just taking it’s toll. Try and stay positive only one more day and things will be more bareable. I keep trying to picture them and just can’t, worrying about what they look like is doing my head in too.
I have been taking the same Emma and have been fine, headaches but I can deal with them. but 2day I woke up and my stomach is in bits, feel sick and in pain. can’t move much either. I keep running to the toilet every 10mins and im drained! tried to call my nurse but no answer and tried to emergency line and no answer 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁
Oh dear that’s not good! Maybe the painkillers? Why not try and phone your own doctor for advice! That’s pretty bad that the emergency line isn’t answering! Xx
Just got hold of someone, told me to stop taking all meds and drink loads of water to flush me out! they are calling me back in a few hours so see how I get on x
