    @georgiak. ..my belly has bloated quite a bit and i have been up and about every day to keep my legs active….could actually pass as a few month pregnant atm but I believe it’s to do with the op and med and should go soon so don’t worry….lol. on another note, I have noticed definite softening today and have quite a bit of feeling back which is good. No pain except for the ocassional incision sting….just need this awful strapping off now…..its starting to itch and irritate. How are you getting on? X

    @georgiak. ..I bet you are excited….I can’t wait. Let me know how it goes….

    I keep getting paranoid about knocking my stitches with not being able to see them….I am constantly checking to make sure there is no blood. I am so queasy with cuts etc so I really hope mine are ok and healing well. Good Luck for getting your strapping off….I am so excited for you and can’t wait to hear about it. X

    I was bloated until day 10-11!! Some girls seem to lose it in a couple of days so I was freaking out!! Don’t worry – it will pass!

    I just woke up one morning and was like wow – where did that gut go haha! zz

    @katrina84 i’m 2 weeks post op today and I have lost all my ‘boobie bloat’ now. I put on 9lbs in water weight and went from a svelte size 8 to a podgy mess almost overnight! it took a week to get back to nearly normal, and then another week for the swelling to completely go down. The nurses told me it’s normal after a general and can take up to a month to dissipate! Chin up! just enjoy slobbing about in the knowledge it will literally melt away in the next few days!

    @ftaitt2 @tracyface Thanks ladies. I only had a local anaesthetic but think it must also have the bloating effect….at least I am hoping so. I do hope it does all drop off….its crazy the way my belly has blown up lol….x

    @katrina84 strappings off..not going to lie, wasnt the best experience i found it quite painful! My advise would be to pull the bits away under your arms yourself first before you go! He was really nice though he let me do some myself, but it was off within 5 minutes, then he just took the little strips off the incisions and wiped them with something and put some more dressing on them, got to take them off in 7 days then i should be Able to get a bath!

    @georgiak Thanks for the tip with the strapping….I peeled all around edges and didn’t feel any discomfort getting the strapping off on Friday. …was so nice to have it removed. I have added some pics to my profile finally so feel free to take a look. X

    7 days post op and I weigh less than before the op… I have been doing juicing to clear the bloating might be worth a try if you still having the issue worked for me anyways x
