Help!

Hey girls. So a week after you had your bandages off how was you feeling? I have my op on the 20th and bandages off on the 27th and I really want to go out on the 31st as it’s my friends birthday. Do you think this would be ok?! I have no clue what id wear becsusr of the bra:( it’s also my birthday on the 12th feb and I’m hoping to beable to wear a nice dress without the support bra – how long did everyone wait before going braless?! Xxx

I had my strapping off Friday and it’s been 8 days since. I’m going for a meal with friends in pub your able to do what ever longs u feel ok. I Wouldn’t go bra less till After 6 weeks post,

It’s hard one huni my 3rd op 7 weeks ago I went in my normal bra one week post op thats in my profile pic but couldn’t wait to get bk n to my sports bra it was ok for me and Kayleigh as this wasn’t our 1st ops but the last thing you want to do is mess round within the 1st 2weeks as they need time to do there thing x

Different patients bodies recover in different ways. Bare in mind you’ll most likely still be in a considerable amount of discomfort and may still be taking painkillers. Going out means being in a crowded place with lots of intoxicated people who will not know you’ve just had surgery and you don’t want to risk the odd knock or anyone spilling drinks near your healing incisions. With regards to bras, most people are advised to wear a sports bra for 6 weeks give or take, unfortunately you won’t know until you’re actually in recovery. If I were you, as much as I love my friends, I know I’d rather be safe than sorry! Hope this helps hun x

I had blisters from the strapping that didnt heal for two weeks, i was in agony. I am now coming into thee 6th week, and feel alot better and think i could wear a normal bra now, i dont think i would have been able to before hand as the incision area has been sore. I went out over christmas and first party i went to was last saturday, and was even worried then about being knocked. I think we all heal differently, see how you feel when the time comes xx

To fair chick these girls are right you will be lucky if you can brush your own hair or reach up over head as when your post op you will realise how much you really use your chest muscles as the pain is quite crappy x
