Well I’m 2 days post op and I’ve mastered the technique of putting all my pillows longways then my v-pillow on top.

Do you have a hot water bottle for the backache? Very helpful!

The bum ache is annoying so try walking around in your house.x

Hot water bottle?! Ah yes!! Definitely will invest.

Just feeling Soo achey all over my back and ribs plus I have really tight breast tape on too

Who did you have Hun and what size etc?

Xxx

Oh you’ll feel a lot better

I have a tight compression band as well so I know exactly how you feel love *hugs*

I didnt go with MYA. But I had 450 cc xhp unders, you? Xxx

Who did you go with? And those bands look pretty hardcore too lol

I had 400cc xhp overs xxx

Dr Plovier, if it wasn’t for these silly bands I’d feel so much better.

Oooh very simillar aint we lol

Had a bath today and it felt so weird.

What bra did you use? Just ordered a Macom today x

Hey ladies, I’m 3days po, second time round, n found sleeping easier this time. Lower yourself slightly, don’t sleep completely up cos u don’t need to. Put a pillow under your bum. Take your co-codamol just before bed. I’ve got tape on too it’s driving me insane! Bloody awful isn’t it!

Well happy healing ladies, hope you sleep better tnite xxxx

Hiya yh I used to try and sleep upright but kept sliding down so I gave up the only thing I dread is getting up once I’ve been lying down, what a nightmare!

Yeah it’s not good is it. I had ba & uplift in sept, just had to have another uplift cos I sagged, and I’m still really really sore were she pulled my drains out. She couldn’t get 1 out & it made me cry. So all under my arms r real sore so I’ve been struggling like mad! Xxx

My fella has to help me up lol!!

I think I’ll take that advice of not sleeping completely up right thanks

Just took my pain killers and feeling less achey fur the first time! Yay!!

Tan – I have a Macom and wire it yesterday and last night and was so pressured within my chest.

Put on a £7 Lonsdale sports bra and hey presto I can breath again lol, heard the Macom are fab once the swelling had subsided

Amanda – yep this tape is killing me!! Going to try to remove it over next day or two – waiting to hear back from MYA mod who are speaking to the nurse on pain free processes lol or keeley chic on here said to do it slowly and get plastoff from chemist xxx

First night po was a nightmare for me too! U got through it tho and it only gets better from now on keep taking ur painkillers on time and u will soon b feeling alot more comfortable cx

Heat it up with hairdryer 1st, it warms it up so less sticky. Yeah sleeping lower defo helps. N the pillow under bum stops you from slipping.

The things us girls do hey! I’ve got a Royce bra, that’s strangling me at the min, I’m still really bloated to do that’s not helping. But really can’t wait to get the tape off! xxx

Thanks ssmlb21 – I do hope so hun, feel very tight today but aches are going away slowly with help of popping my pills lol. xx

Heard that before amanda about the hairdryer so may give that a little test. When are you taking off your tape babe? Thinking of doing mine tomorrow, should be Sunday but it’s really tight and they need to breath or do you think I should leave it on until then?? xxx

I’ll be 8 days po on tues, that’s wen my appointment is n I’m gonna take it off then. I had an uplift so lots more open wounds….I had infections last time & really bothered about getting one this time( I go Ibiza in 6 weeks) so jus gonna leave everything. I’m not even looking never mind touching!! But that’s just me being a worrier, you’ll be ok getting it off.

I’m struggling to breath tho, tapes so tight & with all the swelling my bras really restricting too! Xxx

I know right – this tape is like a murder weapon lol

Taking mine off Sunday if not Saturday!! Need to..!!

Are you feeling much better than you were dat 1 or 2 – I’m hoping I will by then xxx
