1DPO strapping and breast band

Well i done it!!!!! bloody hell strapping and breast band are so tight it’s killing me! Any advice please? The strappings not coming off untill Friday but can I take the breast band of for a bit? It’s digging in my armpit x

I was advised to move mine down a little so that it doesn’t did into my armpits so much. Hope you are doing ok? X

I might try that thank you. Not bad apart from the tightness, slept well too! How are you x

Who was ur surgeon ? Mine only gives strapping , I asked nurse & she said I don’t need both or even to wear a bra aswell as the 7 day strapping does that job for the first week ? X

Might be worth just calling the mya nurse they are really nice & can advise you , I called them on day 3 it really helped x

Omg same herein. Bandaged up it hurts so much like it’s pushing my boobs up and there rock solid ????

Aww Hun I feel so rough today day one really is the killer xx

Hi josey, I had unders so this might be why. Thank you I do hope it flys by x

@charlotter153 · how are you getting on? My poor armpits!! I have to keep my band on for 2 weeks!! Arrgghh! 1 more week to go. I hope you are doing ok- how is the swelling? X

@hetty hiya, today I have just stopped taking me pain killers and muscle relaxers as they were making me really sleepy. Feel so much better but still not 100%! Only just got my appetite back. My band is not as bad ATM can’t wait for Friday for strapping to come off. I have to have it for 4 weeks !!! How are you getting on? Your strapping comes off tomorrow doesn’t it? X

@ charlotter153 · I am just going for 1wk post op app tomorrow- I was one of the lucky ones who didn’t have strapping, (not with mya)- so I have been able to see what’s going on so to speak. Just seen on here someone recommended using breast pads ontop of the band in the armpits- I think I will have to try this! I am still not particularly fussed about food- but know that I need it. You were lucky to get muscle relaxants! I have made tea today- lifting heavy saucepans etc, so will no doubt be in agony tomorrow. Not long until you see your new editions! Are you excited? How you sleeping? X

@hetty who did you have yours with? That’s a good idea! Sleeping hasn’t been that bad I have so many pillows! It was a struggle the first few days as I couldn’t get myself up to re arrange them but not so bad now. What about you? And did you have unders? X

I will ping you a message- good luck today Hun x

Hi Charlotte, good to hear I’m not the only one all completely strapped up. I have strapping & band too. I cut parts of the strapping off that was under my armpits and the relief was great! I keep getting so down seeing people that are the same days post op and their boobs look amazing already! Mine are all squished into a funny shape b the strapping and where the strapping is wonky my nips looks wonky too 🙁 I also don’t want them pushed down so wondering why I have the breast band, I want a lot of fullness on top. It’s so confusing xx

How much longer have you got the strapping and band on for Amber? I hope it’s not too uncomfy for you x

@amberlu1 hiya, it was so nice to ready your post the other day about the breast band! It seems like not many people have them. It’s defo the worst and makes me feel so tight. Are you walking round shouldered/hunched? My strapping comes off today so I’ll let you know what they look like! Mine also don’t look a great shape through the strapping ATM. How is your pain? Xx

@Hetty I have it until Monday, so one week in total, I’m sure it’ll be worth it just doesn’t feel like it at the moment when you see others with such good results already! Thankyou I seem better today hopefully over the worst but still being squashed xx

@Charlotter153 It’s always so reassuring to know your not the only one 🙂 Yes im so hunched I keep trying to strainten my back and shoulders, it’s like all my muscles have gone super tight, pain wise it’s more my back and shoulders that ache rather than the front which I wasn’t expecting! how about you? Your 2 days ahead of me, I’ll look forward to seeing yours 🙂 good luck with getting your strapping off xx

@hetty the band I have to keep for 4-6 weeks though xx
