Hey girls!
Just want to say thank you to all the girls on here. All the advice and support has been invaluable and made the experience so much better. Think I was beginning to drive my family and friends mad talking about every intricate detail of my breasts so really nice to have somewhere to turn to.
I had my opp on Monday morning (375 HP unders with Dr Marcelliono in London, The Fitzroy) and had my strapping taken off yesterday – slightly earlier than planned because the nurse and I couldn’t work around my work schedule but all seems good so far. Still have a few weeks of recovery ahead of me but finally feeling human again today – from not sleeping at all the first night, the pain has reduced signifcantly and the swelling is going down gradually so off to the hair dressers now! 🙂
Took some pictures on my phone today so will upload them later. Feel free to add me… happy to help with any questions like all the other girls have done for me leading up to my opp. Only thing I would add, is that the nurse (politely) told me off yesterday for not moving around enough. I’ve been using my left arm so much more than my right because it was less painful and my left boob is so much better for it – way softer than my right. She sternily told me that I need to moving around and doing things with my arms. (no heavylifting though obviously!) just a thought for those in recovery.
All the best girls!! xxx
