2 days post op! 400cc overs with Mr Gary Traynor Started by: Ellie

I had mine on the 8th and for a week I felt so swollen, tight and sore. I also had a lot of shortness of breath and on the first week I experienced a lot of unhappiness about the whole thing tbh. However after it did improve after day 6/7 a lot and from two weeks apart from the things I’m not allowed to do I feel like my normal self, a lot happier and the only thing I feel is when I wake up it’s a bit tight but after I walk around I don’t feel anything x

Having a shower is much easier if you have one! Take the shower head down and wash lower half.. It’s possible to wash your hair too without getting incisions wet. Flip your head forward.. Keep your bra in too it makes you more careful! It’s quite hard to get out of a bath in the early days as you have to use your arms, if you have to bath turn over onto your knees before you get out doesn’t put as much pressure on your arms xx

I was scared to take mine off as well! I didn’t look at my scars either on my first post op appointment I only looked at two weeks! But they change so much and my 1day post op, 1 week post op and 2 week post op pictures are completely different!! The change is unreal. I basically felt depressed the first week like what have I done but it gets so much better I promise! X
