can i take my dressings off?

im 5 days po and they are driving me wild! they are all lumped together and making it awkward with my sports bra…..p.s i havent forgotten about all you girls im going to upload my full story now and get back to all my messages 🙂 x

i removed mine today i had mine done thursday it should be fine i was in agony and realised the reason why is because my dressing had been slapped on so dodgey it had given me a blister ….. i have lovely new boobs but with a whacking great big blood blister on the right one not impressed will be making a complaint about it , i continually asked could i remove them as i felt something wasnt right and no1 got back to me i know have a dr’s appointment to have it cleaned and dressed properly until my nurse check up on friday xxxxx

I have the same had mine done yesterday and was in pain on my shoulder blades when my bf had a look i have to pressure sores were the tape has been pullin in my sleep so he cut 2 little bits off and put some cream on for me. They are sore as hell but ive been told that if you take the dressings off completely it effects your terms and conditions if anything happens!! x

ive spoken to my mam (shes is a scrub nurse in theatre) and she said that in most ops the dressings are off the next day and you can run fresh water over them no problem…she cant understand why i have to keep them on as if anything the dried blood could cause infection :s xx

went to the my GP today to have them looked at and i was told by removing the bandages i done the right thing as leaving it there could of ended up infected, and the nurse said the sticky rubber bandages are a silly idea its too abrasive on the skin she said they should of at least put something onto my boobs so it wasnt stuck directly to my skin and she said my skin is all puckered where theyve pulled so much 🙁 other then that little wobble I LOVE THEM hahaha xxxx
