    Hey girls

    I had my op on Monday (460cc unders) and whenever I lie back (i don’t mean fully, just a bit on my pillow) I feel like I could stop breathing. It’s really difficult, can’t take any deep breaths cos my chest is so tight and I feel like my ribs are being crushed

    Anyone else had this sensation or know what to do about it?
    Getting a bit scared.

    I didn’t have implants (which I’m sure would feel really heavy on your chest)
    I just had an uplift last Wed. I haven’t been able to cry, blow my nose or sniff up, laugh at all or take deep breaths… although i’ve been trying to do that as hospital staff said it would stop a chest infection from developing.

    I’m really scared. I feel a bit better now but I’m petrified of going to sleep xx

    Have they swollen a lot since the op? The nurse told me they’d swell but it should go down in 2 or 3 days. Hope you sleep ok. I know that’s my biggest fear! My op was yday and they’ve swollen quite a bit this afternoon.

    Yeah I think so. One had dropped a bit but the other hasn’t and is causing a heavy feeling all in my under arm, chest and back xxx
