I didn’t have drains Hun, but I was in agony for ages. I really struggled up until like 10 days post op! I’m now almost 3 weeks post op and am fine. I can drive (can’t go into 5th gear though), can cook, clean, lift my arms right up and am doing basically everything as normal now. I have also started semi lifting my daughter with my body weight rather than just my chest and arms. I feel fine now. First week is awful, but it gets better I promise and the results will make it all worth it xx
