Hey Girls 6 days post op (21st dec Highgate)

Hey Girls!

am new to this forum,..ive often looked at different discussions but never registered!

had my op dec 21st was sooo scared but it really isnt as bad as what you may think (hospital staff were lovely and food was fab!)

have been feeling not too bad at all but im worried i havent rested as well as should as have gone for walks etc 2 days post op as felt ok enough not to stay in the house,.today though my boobs feel sooo tight and like they getting even bigger and have this slight pain on left boob almost where my ribs are,..I know this is all prob normal but its just a worry when its you as you dont know whats normal whats not so any other girls on here going through same id appreciate your feedback get my dressings off on weds with nurse yippeee and wearing a post op marks and sparks bra non stop but sometimes undo it at back for 5 mins for a little breather ha! anwyay im babbling now,..good luck girls who are pre op,..mya are fab

hey hun im 10 days post opp, what ur going through its normal. i felt really tight some day like they were getting bigger etc to. bit better now but i also felt like i had sore ribs under my boobs, hard to describe but it gets better xx

thanks hun thats good to know,..as ive been sat down most of day panicking ha! its different for everyone and its all part of healing process,theres bound to be diff pains here and there when you think of what we had done! its just each day that goes by i thought would feel better and as today is day 6 i actually felt better day 3/4! am just so looking forward to seeing the nurse and seeing the scars. Its also strange how all the surgeons use different techniques post op.I had an overnight stay and hand badages of next morn,..sports bra on and off i went where as other girls are bandaged untill there next check up? xx

Yes ive seen girls bandaged up and all I had was strips over the scars! Also my surgeon insists on tape that is non waterproof so I couldn’t shower for a week untill I saw the nurse that proved difficult with having to wash my hair. I had my op 15th Dec so not even 2 weeks post op yet, I was in alot of pain at first which calmed down after about 5 days but im quite saw again at the moment. Its the worst when I get out of bed in the mornings its like they are stuck in one position and so stiff to move. Bra is really irritating my nipples too have had to take it off this evening! Don’t regret a thing though xx

hey i was the same, had a bad day around day 5 or 6 but better now im at day 10. i was taped for a week then steri strips for 3 days, had my first shower today. had to use sponges in a shallow bath and wash my hair in the sink til today.

when i get up its the worst they feel so hard, when do they soften? x

I really dont know but I hope they soften and settle soon because sleeping is a nightmare. When I wake up my back hurts due to sleeping awkwardly and as soon as i go to sit up and my boobs change position as in drop the smallest bit they hurt alot!! Its as if they shouldn’t be moving but they’ve got to. I dont want my strips to come off im a little apprehensive about seeing my scars eek!xx

i had my strips off today and it was fine hun, i was pleasently suprised my scars r small and neat. my pics r on here if u wanna see.

im on day 10 and still sleepin upright its awful now, week 1 was fine tho x

I was the same I kept my strips on a few days extra as I was scared of taking them off, when I did take them off it werent that bad i just felt a bit fragile. x x

I gave up sleeping upright after 7 days I just couldn’t sleep I was waking up all through the night with back problems but now im laying ive back problems and boob pain so I cant really win!

Yes please can I see pics Sara? That would be great how do I view them?

Nurse did say my scars were looking really good and tiny but still didnt look I will leave it until the strips fall off xx

Click on my name and add me as a friend, once I accept u u will be able to view my album x

hya danielle i had mine done on 21st dec too in the highgate

im goin to c nurse tomoz to hav stitches out, i had bandage on for 1 day then i could take it off an put my macom bra on. i must say it does wat it is intended coz its tight as hell lol soo tight it squashes my boobs an looks lyk i havnt got any! jst hope it dont stop them from growing :S xx

hi, i had mine on the 22nd Dec. From reading these i may have a bit more sleeping upright (i really hate that).Im not sure if i have stitches, i suppoose i must do? didn’t really think about it. do they hurt when removed? I have had quite a similar experience of pain in left boob and a general feeling that they expand at certain times of the day. so good to know all normal, but i can’t complain i have been ok with it all. Happy healing girls XX

Hi naty128 im in at 4pm for my stiches tmrw,..what about you?

pain in left boob still mild but nowhere near as bad as yet,..i ended up ringing nurse on emergency number on my card (felt abit silly) i mentioned the pain under boob and when i gently touched over my plaster could feel something hard and the nurse explained its abit of dried blood around the area so that is why felt sore so tomorrow when nurse works her magic all will be fine phewwwww!

may put a few pics up later as know it really helps as its helped me looking at others,..am so please with the results,.they are sitting quite far apart and still quite swollen (today is day 7 cant believe im a week post op) do any of you girls now if when they drop does that mean they come more into the middle? happy healing girlys xxx
