0pI know what you mean jessikah,
my tape is coming off tomorrow and i can’t wait, not only because i will get to see my mew twins at last but to stop these really horrible itching x x xtracey
0pHi Parisa
Yes i am very happy with Mr Singh’s work i had no bruisirg and my scars are very faint, i think he is an amazing surgeon know’s how to give you the results your after,sorry i haven’t got any pics but take my word for it they look great.
Good Luck xx

0pYes everything became a lot easier once it had come off, it was a lovely feeling and don’t worry if they look a bit pointy to start with, by the next day they will start going back to normal shape x x x

0phi girls! :bigsmile:
i had my op on saturday & i’m getting my tape taken off by the nurse on thursday. i was just wondering if when you get the tape off, is that when you start to feel more normal & able to do more things? xxx

0pjust realised you have answered all the questions i just asked on the other post on here! I’m an idiot!! Thanks hun!!xx

One of mine is slightly higher and the nurse said it’s only because one is heeling faster than the other, nothing to worry about.
She asked me if i wanted to see the where the stitches were but i said no, was feeling faint anyway and that would not have helped, my fella had a look though and said that they looked really good, just like small dark lines (smaller than a little finger).
She has put one piece of small tape over it now and that is it, which i can remove on Tuesday, and guess what i can now have a lovely long shower, as long as i dry the incisions with a hair-dryer.Hope yours goes well x x x

0pCongrats Alex,
I phoned the nurse earlier and she said I can take most of mine off, just leave it over where the scars are. It does really hurt doesnt it, especially round the back and my sides I found.
My boobs look much better with the tape off, I think one looks higher than the other tho?! :confused: Have to see how that settles!
Did you get to see where you stiches are and what they look like, i’m so scared mine are just going to be huge.
Also do you have anything covering the stiches now?!
I’m not seeing the nurse till tues… cant bloody wait!xxx
alex24
0pOMG,
I had my tape removed today that has to be the worst pain i have ever experienced, like one massive plaster but extra extra sticky.I would of preferred doing it myself, like mentioned above uses a hairdryer or something.
Never mind all done know, and i must say they look FABULOUS, i even laid down and i still had a wicked pair of boobies . yeah

parisajessikah
0pohhh that helps, thanks ladies,
Thats what i’m worried about, the amount that its itching i’m scared that i’m going to have a reaction! I did speak to a mys nurse who said I can take it off myself friday (6days post op) however its been itching so much tonight i’ve removed the bits at the top and left the bits on the bottom until tomorrow. I’l phone the nurse again tomorrow and make sure before I take it all off but as alex said she’s having her’s off tomorrow and we had the BA the same day. I just cant get to see my nurse until 10 days post op as she doesnt work weekends and i cant get monday off work! Theres no way i can leave it all on another 5 days i’l be red raw!!
Thats really put my mind at rest, thank you!
xxxp.s does anyone know what it does and why some surgeons use it and some dont?!

0poh i remember that tape well, it drove me crazy, i rang nurse to take it off early, but she couldnt, i had it on 8 days, relief i tell ya, i then got an allergy to the sticky stuff left on my skin, i was so sore for another week at least.. glad its over now..its all worth it though..x

0pHi Girls
I had my BA with Mr singh on a Friday and was going back to work on the Tuesday after, he taped me up and i asked him if it would be ok to remove the tape for work he said 4 day’s with it on would be fine and to use a hair dryer to take it off ?So off it came on the Monday night.

0pI was not cold at all, was breathing normally and wasnt shievering. I’m really pleased i dont have even a little reaction to GA apart from telling the nurse i loved her!:boogie::rolling::cheer::cheer::bigsmile::bigsmile::wink:
jessikah
0pHia girls,
Just wondering if anyone else has this horrible tape bound around them?! I know some people do and some don’t but I’m just wondering how long it has to stay on for, its soo itchy now (5 days post op) and really irritating me.
I’m not seeing the nurse until tues as she doesnt work weekends and I can then only get tuesday off – by then I’l be 10 days post op but surely it can come off sooner!!?!!?!
xxjessikah
0pyea I had that, dont think they have them in NHS hospitals though, they just left me shiver after my c-sections!!!xx
sara
0pyeah i always do with anesthetics, think its just the after effect of it, they’ll prob give you a heater to put under ur blanket asweell, it was lovely!! haha x x
jessikah
0pnah, doubt you will, I was real shakey and shivering for a couple of hours after but i think thats normal!xx
xbexx
0peeeeeeeeee!!! :bigsmile: yeah, i just want it to be over and done with!! i hope i don’t chat rubbish when i’m coming round! lol xxx
jessikah
0pI was really worried about what I’d come out with after the anaesthetic as some people said they were talking rubbish bt its nothing like that! You’l be soo glad this time tomorrow when its all done!! YEY… New boobies!!!x
xbexx
0pthank you guys :bigsmile: you’ve just made me so much more excited! haha. i get so worried, i’m such a wuss! lol.
hahaha! jessikah, that made me laugh :bigsmile: xxx
jessikah
0pI felt exactly the same and I’ve got two small children so I was like, what if I leave them without a mummy!!!
It was fine tho, nothing to worry about, the anaesthesist put the thing in my hand, i looked at the clock then the next thing I knew they were putting this thing blowing hot air under the cover to warm me up and I had new boobs!
The first thing I said when I came round was ” I’ve missed the X factor!” – couldnt have been that bad if thats all i could think about!!xx
sara
0pyou will be fine Becky, i promise you…when you lay on the table its such a weird feeling when you go off to sleep, weird but quite nice in a way, and before you know it you’ll be waking up and realising you have big boobs! hahaha :bigsmile:
It will feel like youve only been to sleep for about 20mins! it’ll prob be about an hour and a half by the time you’ve woken up properly etc…everything will be fine x x
xbexx
0pawww, glad you’re doing well! :bigsmile: as if you’ve been able to do so much, that’s great!!
i’m glad you said that :bigsmile: that’s one thing i’m petrified of!…the anesthetic! i keep thinking what if i don’t wake up?!?! lol. i’ve never had an op before & have no idea what to expect! xxx
sara
0pGod thats good, i havent hardly done anything!! I’m 8 days post op now and still suffering quite a bit, with overs aswell! Think i just take longer to get over things, i’ll get there soon…well done though…xx
jessikah
0pAhhh, I may call her and ask if I can take it off on the weekend, a week post op. Its so uncomfy! I’m scratching my back to death!
My boobies are ok though, i had unders so expected loads of pain however I’ve been pretty good, I’m 5 days post op, I’ve managed to straighten my hair, go into town to pick up a few bits and bobs, take my little boy to school, ( couldnt carry him at all tho obviously!). I dont find it very painful anymore, just a bit akward getting up from bed etc in the morning!
Driving me insane that I cant hoover though, gotta wait for my hubby to come home from work, i’m also dying to have a shower!!!
You’l be fine bec, I was so nervous about having a GA before I went into hospital but its nothing to worry about. It was so surreal it didnt even seem like it was real until after the op, best thing i ever did. I’d do it again in a heartbeat!xx
sara
0pI count myself lucky really, Mr Adamo doesnt use the tape all around, just puts 2 bits of tape over the stitches, which come off tomorro! I think from what ive heard from everyone else thats had it on them that the nurse takes it all off at your next app x x x
