    I had my BA on Saturday so am now 5 days post op. I seem to have been healing well and there’s now minimal pain, which is good. All of a sudden the strapping feels extremely tight. It’s been on all week and it’s been tight but now it feels restrictively tight and as if it’s really stuck to my skin. Has anybody else experienced this at all? It seems strange that it only feels this way now.

    I had my op exactly same day and my strapping is so tight. I can’t wait to get it off but am not getting it off until Tuesday. I wonder how they will take it off? If they just rip it off its gonna knack!

    I’m thinking exactly the same thing. I can’t imagine it coming off easily! X

    When they took my strapping off it took nearly 45 mins as I have super sensitive skin felt sorry for the nurse, I kept crying and all the glue from the strapping stuck to me , It was taken off last Wednesday I’m still v. Sticky now. Nurse said she’s never seen anyone react to the glue like me in her 10 years of doing her job. Most people only get a little bit of residue left of their skin but in my case literally ALL Of the glue from the strapping stuck to me. After that the nurse used a heap of surgical wipes to try remove some of the glue, as I was scared my clothes were gonna get stuck tight to my skin by the time I got home. Whole process took over an hour I’m sure normally it takes a lot less time if you have normal skin. I was so red afterwards. Sorry girls but if you have sensitive skin I feel your better off warned… Because I honestly wasn’t expecting it to hurt me as much as it did. Even though I know the nurse was doing her best to be gentle. x
