Couple of questions post op.

I am 8 days post op and was hoping you girls could answer a couple of my questions as you have been so helpful.

When can i sleep flat?

sleep on my side?

Use sunbeds again (if i cover my scars up)?

Exercise?

Thanks x x

Your nurse will probably advise you on these if they haven’t already. I am just now beginning to lie flat and on my side at 5 weeks although nurse said this would be ok from 3 weeks. Light exercise is generally ok from 4 weeks, but i wouldn’t do anything strenuous for up to 2 months or more (i was told 3 months for horse riding and kickboxing ). Sunbeds i can’t help you with but i know a few girls have had spray tans after 6 weeks, ensuring that the scars are covered. I’d ask your nurse as a first port of call, and listen to your body x

I was told by my nurse yesterday that I can sleep flat from now on I’m 10days PO…not sure about sides though. And no exercise for 6 weeks xx

Nurse told me at 1 week check i could lay flat….but i was addicted to my v pillow!
