After having my op Sunday I don’t actually feel that bad… managed to have a shallow bath and went the hairdressers to get my hair washed. But over the last few days I’ve become very bloated ? Is this normal ? Any tips to get rid of it x
Hi Hun I haven’t had my boobs done as of yet still waiting on my consultation but when ever I have had an op under general I’ve been bloated for a couple of days afterwards maybe it’s the same with this op too have you tried googling it to see what other people have had similar on a diff forum room failing that of your concerned ring your nurse xxx
I was really bloated it’s normal, apparently the anesthesia can cause bloating but also the pain relief. As soon as I stopped my codrydamol and switched to paracetamol I have become less bloated xx
Same here I’m 3 days post op and I look 9 months pregnant ! It’s not exactly the look I was going for !! Not to mention how uncomfortable it isโน๏ธ
Ah I’ve been the same! I’m 9 days PO and it’s only just started to settle! The co codamol Deffo doesn’t help ๐ peppermint tea and lemon water should help ๐ xxx
thought I’d put my pennies worth in lol! I’m 11 dpo and still bloated. I’m buying a house and part of getting a mortgage is getting life insurance and had to complete a form which asked my waist size….wellllll needless to say I had to knock a few inches off because I am not a 33 inch waste. I’m still on pain relief because of the haematoma I developed but down to 1 tablet twice a day so hoping it will get better!! xx
if you are unable to go to the loo i took dulcolax and it really helped as well as when i came off my strong painkillers xx
The bloating is the worst thing at moment my Macom bra is cutting into me off it, don’t think the recovery would be nowhere near as bad if I didn’t have it just hope it doesn’t last as long as other people have said on here ???? Oh and my husband saying I look like Homer Simpson didn’t help! Haha men!!!
yes I can go to the loo fine, and I totally agree recovery is worst than I thought it would be as well x
My bloating is ridiculous to! I’m 4 days post op and look pregnant! It’s so uncomfy! Ive stopped all painkillers now so hoping it’ll start to settle soon! X
I was bloated a couple of days after my op and was eating Rennie Deflatine and I felt like it went pretty quickly x
I’m the same! Had my op on Tuesday and I feel like I’ve put on a stone around my stomach! Actually got teary yesterday as my boobs were sore and then felt so bloated and uncomfortable ???? But I’ve been reading – apparently it’s normal! But can take up to 3-4 weeks to subside completely. I was like oh grrrreat but at least you know that it’s normal xx
