healing time….

Hi everyone….

just wondering if anyone who has had a BA can tell me roughly how long your healing time was. I know everyone will be different but i need a rough idea to ask work if i can have the time off…. thankyou

Hi Nicola,

I havent had my ba yet 25th nov 4 me. But my pc said 1wk off work if its a non physical job and 2 wks if it is physical, but u wont b totally recovered by this time but enough 2 start normal activities. They say things like swimming etc is 6 wks. No driving for 1 wk. Hope this helps a bit. xx

im a lifeguard so i guess if its no swimming for 6 weeks maybe need to take 6 weeks off…. i have my consultation on wednesday have to ask lots of questions then…. thanks emma and good luck on the 25th bet your excited!!

Yeah I am been wanting this done for ages. Yeah best 2 ask them as many questions as u can write them all down so u dont forget otherwise if ur like me ur 4get half of what u wanted 2 ask, but when eva ive had a question u just phoned my pc who is brilliant. Good luck with ur boobie journey xx

hiya, i work in an office, and went back on day 8, also that was the first day I drove too (but i only work 5 mins from home) Being a lifeguard, i guess you’ll need at least 6 weeks off, as i don’t think you are meant to swim cos of your scars xx

I had mine under the muscle and took one week off work. I couldn’t drive for the 2 weeks like they said. I wouldn’t have been able even if i wanted to as even after the 2 weeks i needed 2 hands to change gear… it wasn’t painful but just had no strength in my chest.

Being a lifeguard is a tricky one! I had disolvable stitches so having a shower after a week was fine but i was told not to soak in the bath within 6 weeks. Your stitches will go too quickly plus the scars are still fresh.

i spoke to my manager today and all i can do it take unpaid leave for however long i need…. then if ther is shifts on reception i can work them for abit of money… looks like im gona be skint after im done but im sure it will def be worth it
