Am I just panicking ?? Started by: Leah

Hi Leah

I gained 6lb overnight having my op and was constipated and bloated for about 7 days. After 14 days I had lost what I gained plus an extra 1lb (not including my implant weight) and was back to normal toilet routine. Its usually down to all the meds they give you during the op and also the painkillers they send you home on. You will also retain water after not being so active. I walked a few miles a day from day 5 and I think that really helped.

I also have 1 breast which is still higher and harder. I had my dressings off yesterday and I can tell the incisions are in a different place. My left is the higher one and my right one doesn’t bother me at all and the incision is right in the crease already. The nurse reassured me yesterday and said this is normal and the other will drop eventually in the next few weeks.

I gained 10lbs too 🙁 it’s nearly all come back off now (3 weeks post op) also my right boob gives me loads more pain and muscle twinges than my left does. It’s higher and harder than my left.

Hey Leah, I’d call your nurse to check about the size difference especially if I tell feels hard. I had this and it turned out to be Seroma which I had to get drained. Better to be safe than sorry xxx

I gained 10lb and it’s all come off now xx took about a week maybe a little more. I was also bloated and felt awful

Sorry to hear you had complications to Jess, hope everything is okay now? Did you have to pay extra to have the Seroma drained etc?? xx
