Advice please RE recovery time?

I’m paying some of my operation with a credit card. I was supposed to go on the 3rd of Feb but it has to be 14 days before the op and the card isn’t due to arrive for 3-5 working days which throws a spanner in the works. My PC is lovely and is trying to see what she can do, but at worst my op will have to be later in February.

My only problem with that is I’ve got tickets booked to the Cheltenham festival for the 15th of March travelling down on the 14th..

I know theres a 2 week recovering initially before you go back to get checked so obviously I wouldn’t dream of it if it conflicted within those 2 weeks recovery and would have to do it afterwards, but say it was 4 weeks from my op that landed on me going. How have most people felt after say 4 weeks?

I know its usually about 6 weeks most talk about, which would have fallen perfectly for going to Cheltenham, but would I manage ok do you think, from your experiences if it did land before the 6 weeks? Would I have to wear the sports bra during the day and find dresses that hide it?

Any advice on how people felt and if they think it would be ok would be massively appreciated, I understand everyone is different, I just have no clue and its stressing me out what to do.

From my experience I had quiet abit of pain and only just getting back to normal after 5 weeks. I have not spent a day out of my sports bra but that was my choice so can’t say about the no bra situation. I had a little drink on New Year’s Eve and I was about 16 days post op. I was quite sore the day after drinking maybe because I was moving more freely after alcohol I don’t no. So if u do drink be careful xx

I’m not a big drinker anyway to be honest so I’d be happy to go and stick to orange juice.

I’m just worried I’ll be taking a risk maybe not wearing the sports bra too soon or something.

You having unders or overs?! I had overs and the recovery is a lot quicker! I was back to driving and cleaning ect by 1 week. Went out for works Christmas do at 2 weeks! Back to work at just under 3 weeks and I have a very heavy job! I went out braless at just over 4 weeks post op for NYE and was fine! I had a very quick recovery, everyone is sooo different!! Xx

I’m having unders 🙁

I don’t really get the difference between the two and why they recommend unders or overs for people?

Ahhhh, can’t help you with that one then lol! Sorry ?!! Overs are generally given to people with more breast tissue! Xx

I was fine after 4 days to do everything but I also had overs. My friend had unders and had a fabulous quick recovery also, cooked me tea the day after her op! She also drove me to my op and was the one who helped me with everything 2 weeks after her op. You will Be absolutely fine at 4 weeks I think but it depends on your personal threshold x

Thank you so much 🙂 x
