had my one week po check at manchester clinic this afternoon. the nurse took the plasters off and replaced them with steristrips, she said the scars are perfect and im healing really well yay! she was surprised that my boobs are softening up and starting to change shape already!
the nurse said mario doesnt like the stiches to be trimmed until 2 weeks post op though so ive gota go back next week again – annoying when its an hour there and then another hour back again!
glad everythings going well though x x
hiya hun.. i had mario on monday… does he use dissolveable stitches or not? no one seems to no… ive got my 1 wk check on monday and was wondering what happens x
the nurse said they are dissolveable but they have to trim them up.
today she just took the plasters off and put steristrips on, she said theyve got to stay on till next week.
she said mario doesnt like you getting the scars wet for two weeks – she said i could have a shower but try and keep the strips as dry as poss. we only have a bath though so still only allowed shallow baths – gutted was looking forward to a proper bath lol!
how are you feeling now huni? x x
long story…. havnt cried yet but im getting close…. gettiing down now.. fed up.. hope ur okay. xx
i saw your other post that your in a lot of pain hun i think you should call your nurse cos they told me its not normal to be in a lot of pain and to ring them if i was.
aww i hope you start to feel better soon tho x x
Hi Izzy, i had my one week check today too babe and the nurse cut my stitches shorter and said i had to wait 4 days to get them wet and then take the steri-strip off??!! how is it all the info is different? did you get given a breast band last week after op? xx
