Hi Girls,
I am 3days post op with 350cc high profiles with Mr Marcellino. I seem to be coping Ok and can move my arms quite easily. However, I have extreme back pain at night and can’t get comfortable waking up crying every 2hours, also I don’t know the best way to wash my hair? Can anybody offer advice and some 6week post operative photos?
Hey sweetie how are sleeping ? Xx
I am sleeping with 2 pillows up right and then a v pillow behind! The back pain is better after a walk round tesco haha x
Have you got any of them big long pillows ? As I used two of them and ditched my v pillow I used one under my head and other one under my kness this help to take pressure off your bk and even it out I had 8 weeks of sleeping this way
It’s lot more cumfy and you can bend them round under your arms xx
I will try that tonight! I have been placing the pillow upright and leaning against them. I will keep you posted.
Make sure you put few pillows under your legs chick the 1st week is always hard but then after that you will better X
Thankyou! I think I’ve done too much today so gunna take it easy from now on X
Hi Charlotte, make sure you have lots of pillows piled up behind you coz if you only have a couple your back can cave inwards which can cause a lot of pain.I had 325 HP unders and have just reached the 6 week mark, photo attached, they don’t look anywhere near as uneven as that in person, it always shocks me when I take a photo xx
Hello,
I had a similar size I am now 8 months post and will upload up to date photos this week.
I really struggled with pain, I had a v pillow and kept ahead of my pain killers, your be ok xx
Wow!! They look amazing, did you girls have drains? I have terrible pains from where they were today!
Hello! We must have been in together! I had 350cc hp unders with max on 27th! Im ok when sleeping its waking up every morning about 5 all stiff! Today i’m feeling better its not feeling as bad as last few days! Hopefully i am on the mend ! Did he use strapping on you? I’m finding it really irritating 🙁 xx
Hi Charlotte, no I didn’t have drains just strapping!
Hi Chloe!!! Yeah we must of been, my admission time was 10:00 and didn’t go down until 16:30. My poor dad came with me and had to wait around for hours in my room as he didn’t know whether to go home then come back . I keep waking up every 3hours really stiff but I’m now using heatpads!! I feel ok today just sofa surfing with Netflix. Them seem to be dropping already X
@chelsea10 hope you don’t mind the add we have similar stats and would love to see some pictures as I can’t decide on size!x
Hello charlotte !
My admission time was 9 didnt get into my room until 9.30 and then didnt go down til 2! He said he was running late !! You must have been after me ! My sister came too and i was down for almost 2 hours as got up there waited half hour then had op then into recovery for 40 mins!
I am finding it so hard at night time too!!! Have u managed to find a better way to sleep? I need tips as i sleep how u said u did with a V pillow!! Xx
It took me over 5hours to recover from the anathetic, the poor nurses were so patient!! I would advice anyone to take some cork to bite while they remove your drains. How are you finding the pain? I just keep making a fort really. I’ve been holding my knees and rocking myself up in the morning. I am bored of sofa surfing now tho!
