Hi I had 460 high profiles with mr traynor on 22nd April x7 weeks and one day post op and no he doesn’t use strapping xx not much to take if you are not staying overnight xexcept your sports bra something to elevate the boredom in case you are waiting x I took my slippers and own dressing gown but they do provide a dressing gown if you need it xx if u are normally a hungry person something for after I just had coffee and toast and was fine x you can go in your make up and take it off when you get there xx my recovery was ok not as bad as I thought like a heavy work out at the gym x not being able to wash my hair was the worst x booked in at the hairdressers at 4 days xday 5 was probably the worst bloated and uncomfy but only took the pain killers for two days x went to work at three days for half a day and was pushing a wheel chair lol don’t ask x didn’t attempt sex until 3 weeks xx severe joggers nipple at week one ended up with nipple cream and breast pads other than that all good x oh and at day 2 I weighed myself and had put 5lb on even though I’d eaten bugger all wasn’t expecting that xx any questions? Xxx

I took front a zippy hoodie, leggings, lucozade drink for the sugar, throat sweets (had sore throat for days) charger, magazines, iPad (with films on and Netflix) some belvitas as I’d saw to take snacks for after the op, pillow for the seatbelt, my slippers and my make up to put on after lol. I had an 8am admission time and didn’t even get a chance to watch any of my films, read any magazines or even look on here much as people were in and out all of the time, I between I was talking to my friend who took me down to Preston and she stayed down there with me that night in case anything went wrong. I went down to theatre at twenty to ten was back in my room at eleven all done and slept until mid day. Felt spaced out so pulled myself together had some tea and toast, saw mr traynor and left before two 🙂 staff there were amazing and really made the whole experience great and mr traynor is brilliant at what he does. I out on A LOT of weight in those few days! Now nine days post op and the weight has almost came off but I have big implants so have to account for the weight of those as well as your body retaining water due to the trauma of surgery, try to get yourself some windeze, laxatives, and ibuprofen if you can as the pain killers made me ill and I’ve saw some of the other girls say the same better to be prepared! Hope this helps xx

Of course I don’t mind 🙂 added you now. Yeah the hospital has wifi but it was £5 I think for the day, You’ll have to check the price, I had my iPad with a contract sim in so didn’t use the wifi. I have two kids also (11year old and a 21 month old) my mam looked after them for me while I was away, stayed with her until Sunday and came home on Monday after an argument as she was going to work and leaving me with my youngest who isn’t potty trained so had to pick her up a few times she’s hard work lol. Overall though recovery has been ok, I thought I’d have been so much worse and not able to do anything but I guess because I’ve HAD to I’ve just got on with it. I was the same after both of my c sections as there is no one to help there’s no point in complaining about it you’ve just got to get on with it haven’t you? Overall feeling good, loving the boobies, waited a really long time to get them and now it’s like ALL of my Christmases and birthdays have came at once haha. I bet you are excited for your op now! I was, then became incredibly calm from the days leading up to the op, had a little cry as they were getting me ready for theatre as the last min nerves kicked in but was ok 🙂 xx
