After the op…

Hi girls. My surgery is Tuesday, I am so excited!! Just a quick question for those of you who are just day cases… Do you have to stay overnight in a hotel the night after having your op?

Hi Evie my op was Tuesday and I stopped over in hotel after and then my boyfriend drove us back yesterday but it’s totally down to you x

Thanks Cassie. I hope you are feeling well. I was going to stay overnight but then I was thinking I may just want my own bed ha x

Personally I would go home to your own bed lol @evie101 xx

Thanks @xxxsaralouxxx I am really unsure what to do as I don’t know how I will feel after my surgery. My admission time is 1pm so done know if traveling home for 2 hours later that night will be a good idea ? xx

@evie101 They won’t let you go home till you’re feeling ok hunni, I didn’t find the car journey home too bad and I took a pillow with my to put on my knee and rest my arms on but having said that I was only around 45 mins away from home. if you stay in the hotel make sure to take your v pillow with you lol Good luck xx

@xxxsaralouxxx I might just come home then. Oh yeah my v pillow comes tomorrow!! That will be coming everywhere with me xx

I think you’ll be fine @evie101 and you can always have a sleep in the car. Nothing better than your own home comforts ? What size are you going for? Xx

Hi @xxxsarslouxxx how are you today? To be honest with you I not feel any changes.

Hi @xxxsaralouxxx how are you today? To be honest with you I not feel any changes.

I have gone for 400cc @xxxsaralouxxx Mr Traynor is my surgeon. I hope I have gone big enough. That’s my one worry xx

Is that the biggest you were offered? @evie101 xx

I’m not too bad thanks @misia still not sleeping great though. Just had a walk to the shops and back, my chest felt so heavy, was knackered when I got back lol sorry to hear you’re not feeling any better hunni xx

Sara I’m the same with sleep, just can’t get comfy in bed on a night! Popping to asda today to get some comfier pj’s! When do u get your strapping off? Xx

Rubbish isn’t it @nikkistephenson1985 I have a permanent numb bum at the minute lol I’ve also tried putting a pillow under my legs too but doesn’t really make much difference. Strapping off tomorrow xx

Heyyy guys I’m on day 3 post op and my one boob is constantly got a burning sensation have any of you got this? Literally my right side I cannot move! Xx

Yeah @xxxsaralouxxx that was the biggest he said I could go but just reading other girls comments a few of them have said they wished they had gone bigger.
I am hoping I am fine as I am flat chested xx

Do the rice test @evie101 I found this a big help xx

My incisions did for a while but soon settled down . Have you got an ice pack? @knight xx

@xxxsaralouxxx yes got ice pack on each boob I can’t breathe or move slightly without the burning pain Im sticking to pain killers but don’t think there strong enough ? xx

Cassie, I forgot to say that my breathing is very bad all through this first week post-op. It’s all normal.

Yes thank god not just me I have short breaths if i talk I have to pause because my chest is so tight I feel I can cope with most of it just really struggling with the burning as I am not getting a break from it xx

@xxxsaralouxxx I actually thought I was dying lmao thanks for the reassurance I bet your relived it’s so tight! I haven’t put my Macom on as well the strapping is tight enough! Iv gota wait until Tuesday im just hoping the pain can’t get any worse! I’m just debating whether to take other pain killers with what they have gave me to see if it helps xx

You’re welcome @knight I can’t wait although not looking forward to it being ripped off ? lol glad I only have a band and not full strapping. I swapped codiene for strong ibruprofen and paracetamol on Tuesday as the codiene was bunging me up ? lol xx

Yours shouldn’t be as painful then! Good luck xx

Hi I didn’t my partner drove me home 3 hours in the car and I was absolutely fine x

Thanks @roberts I am gonna brave the car ride home Tuesday ☺️ xx

I’m day 6 post op and have been fine had the strapping removed today and now I’m in lots of pain :(! So uncomfortable and incisions are hurting. Nurse said all is healing well now though. I’ve been told we can’t use ibuprofen as it thins your blood? I also keep getting headaches and migraines. Hoping tomorrow is better. Back to work tomorrow eeeeek ? xxx

How was having the strapping off Nicole? Getting mine off tomorrow! X

Thanks hunni 🙂 xx
