anyone had no help post op?

i know it would be so much better if I had some help but this might not be the case. any advice? or would you just advise against it? thanks x

Unless u have probs like you are ill they dont need to speak with u until your post op appointment but u are advised to call them should u have any concerns, the nurse is available 24hrs! Which to me is reasonable!

I have to stick up for mya here as both myself and reg were contacted when they knee we weren’t well! And the nurse followed me up next day too x

Knew doh x

Hun do you mean help from mya or help from family/friends ect? As crampy said mya were good with us they checked on both of to make sure we were well. If you mean from family and friends I haven’t told anyone about my op so I’m looking after myself atm and doing fine you are able to do most things for yourself just be careful not to over do it listen to your body xx

I didn’t explain myself very well! I meant afterwards from family/friends. I know it’s awful but I’m considering not telling anyone which will mean being alone after the surgery. I know some people are active after a few days, but I’ve also heard people not being able to do anything. As long as I have everything prepared I should be fine right? Have you had any probs/wished you had help? x

Aww I’m sorry bud I got my overprotective hat on there!

Reg is the perfect one to advise u on this one, however do tell someone if u can, having someone’s support is massive as u will have ups and downs! Shud u decide not to there are always us girls on here to spk to xxx

Hun I’m only 3 days post-op I haven’t told anyone doing everything for myself and I’m doing ok. I have just taken it very easy and been resting lots. I would recommend an overnight stay though. I had an overnight stay so for the first night and next day I had help from the nurses to get dressed and go to the toilet and stuff xx

Hey hsquibb,

I had a friend bring me home from hospital and spend the first night with me, after that I was on my own… Few friends/sister knew, LadyC on here is a good friend so she helped me with lifts to school/swimming etc until I could drive, and they visited me which was great for company, because I did start to go a bit stir crazy!! However, even my neighbour who is a friend didn’t know, and she didn’t even suspect. I’m a single mum with a 6 year old son, so if I can manage you’l be fine. Plus you’re not going to big, and you’re having Adamo too I think, so less painful than those experienced after larger implants? Ive felt no more than a little discomfort since being home.. Make sure you have your V pillow and stack other pillows under it, and beind your back, and under your knees… You’l be absolutely fine, just bored!! xxx

If your able to tell someone do though because its harder to bring yourself to do it afterwards. I have had to hide it from my mum and now I want to tell her and it feels harder to now that I’ve already gone and done it all in secret. You will be able to manage on your own though hun I should thinkif that’s what you want I’m doing ok so far xx

You’re right Reg, I didn’t have the guts to tell my mum, (wouldn’t tell my dad) but will tell her one day… Tried to tell her in a panic 2 days PO, and ended up telling her that I will do it one day, that was the best I could do!! She’s just going to have to believe that bras have got this good! Ha!!xx

(meant tried to tell her 2 days PRE OP not PO)

Reginald!!!!! Tut I demand u walk downstairs top off now and go and show her xx

Hahahah! Her boyfriend might get a bit of an eyefall if I do that ! I will tell her by the end of this weekend! Xx

ah it’s so tricky! I’d really love to tell my mum, but I know she would only try and talk me out of it…it’s a big decision to make let alone with someone telling you not to! I wear the super padded primark bras at the moment to make the illusion that they’ve grown lol. do you not think that they’ll notice? it’s such a tricky decision. I can def understand it being harder afterwards. I know if I didn’t tell my mum she’d prob turn round n say that she’d have wanted to look after me lol xxx

Awww bless u hun! I didn’t tell my mum until 4 days before, yes I’m lucky in a sense cos I live miles away but I thought she would go made, surprisingly she was amazing, knew it wasn’t a decision I’d took lightly and understood it was needed to make me happy!

If it helps, why don’t u write it all down in a letter, that way u won’t miss anything out and u can leave it for her to read xxx

My mum is lovely and I know she’ll be great about it I don’t know why I haven’t told her its not really her I don’t want to know its like a bubble where I live I don’t want the whole world knowing lol xx

Miss Reginald, Ur mum whether she wud have wanted u to have the op or not would never have wanted to go thru it alone, I promise u hunny, pleeeease tell her if not for ur sake, for old crampy xx

I hate to think of anyone going thru this alone, Those 2 days on my own due to the man working and sods law me getting poorly I felt so so sorry for myself and it really picked me up to have the company when he came back, ofcourse ur support at the end of a txt has been massive too xxxxx

Aww ok crampy I will thankyou xxxxxxxx

Xxxx

i definately feel well supported on here already which is great! why do mum’s have to think we’re perfect how we are and not understand why we want boobies hehe xxx

Ha cos in our mums eyes were perfect and can do no wrong, god I wish everyone thought that way

awww do write it all down hunny, it’s so easy to forget all u need to say when in a moment then afterwards think bugger I wish I’d said that xx

I have two little girls (1 and 2) so my hubby has been looking after them more than me & I’ve honestly been fine! Iv enjoyed the rest lol! I have only told my mum so no one else knows & tomorrow we’ve got a big family photo/meal & I feel fine to go…,,I know afterwards I’ll be exhausted though but it’s do-able. We are all different though so no promises but you could be fine hun.

Should add il be wearing a fasten up the middle top to the meal seeing as I look ridiculous in tight tshirts…………you should see my side cleavage lol!!!!!!!!!

thanks guys and crampy, good idea xxx

Haha side boob how I dont mind having that problem now xx

Ah, all of these things I can’t wait for….including a side boob! lol x

I’m just glad I no longer have boobs that could easily be mistaken for moobs xx

i hate looking at men with moobs and thinking hmmmm….you have more than me! lol x

It is difficult telling people hun but you really do need the support even if just a friend knowing and you need somone to help out just in case you get down as its a masive change to your body you dont know how you will feel after. I told my mum and she has been great and would have been upset that I had not told her going through such a big thing. Please have someone with you and tell your mum. (that is the mummy side of me coming out now) you will have huge support on here too I dont think I could of coped without this forum and all the great gals on here.

Reg your not on your own are you hun???

Big hugs and please tell your mum you will feel better even if she does not agree xxxxx

i have told some people i know but its weird because the friends that are close to me i havent because i dread what she will say so im just going wait and see if she notices which i sur wont be long lool my daughter was ecited by the fact im having it done as shes got more boobs than me and she has her own surgery list i think i may have created a monster lol x x x
