Day 5 of post op! Questions!!!!!

I had 410 overs on Friday, still got my big plaster/bandages on, can I take them off now??

Did the nurse tell you to take them off yourself honey.xxx

The post op nurse said leave them for her to do, and my surgeon said I can take off after 4 days?

I was told to keep mine on until I have stitches taken out but they fell off on day 5 so I’ve just got the steri strips over the scars. I’d prefer the have the plasters on though for peace of mind that there protected. But they kept falling off

R yours irritating you or do u just want them off lol? Xx

Hi Jacinta.

I’ve been offered 410 overs too! Can i ask what size u were pre-op? Have u got any pics?

Well the surgeon said I can take the big ones off and leave the ones over the scars for the nurse on Friday. Not irritating I just want a look so bad! They are v tight though!! Ive added you emilyjane!

I was a 32B pre-op, yeah ive got some pics I need to load up on here!! x

I would follow your surgeons instructions honey,xxx

I know. One of mine fell off. So I had to take the other big plaster off and it hurt so much lol. Don’t take the tiny strips off over the scars though Hun.

Yeah! Also, am i meant to be sleeping bolt upright? As Im having pillows etc but just at a slant not like sitting up? How long should I be taking pain killers for? x

Last night I slept flat. It was BOOOOTIFULL!!! I slept like a baby. I’m now 8 days PO. X but I still had pillows to stop me rolling over on my side x

I’ve stopped pain killers now as well. X

jacinta i am having 410 overs on sat can i ask your stats weight height ect. only if ye dont mind i am 34b pre op aswell xx

Im 5ft 2, 8 stone size 6/8 x

Jacinta I accepted u Hun xx

I left mine on as advised by the nurse till she removed them day 7 even though dr singh said I could take them off day 4 xx

Ok, how long should we be not lifting our arms for? x

I moved mine gradually over the two weeks,hardly at all first few days,then after two weeks I managed to wash my own hair without too much discomfort,didnt do anything strenuous until after my 6 weeks check,even then I was careful,but it varies honey,everyone is different you will know if you have stretched too far,your body will let you know.xx

If it hurts dont do it,lol.xxx
