One day post op

Hiya. So I had my operation yesterday 350cc under muscle. And they put the breast band on me, and OMG it’s so tight! I feel like I can hardly breathe!! I can’t feel the stitches ect… it’s just the top feels so tight and really achy, the muscles really hurt and the pain killers just arnt touching it. I can’t even get out of bed, I just feel so awful, please tell me this is all normal? I am a person who worries a lot and I am very aware it’s only been a day haha so I will be in pain. But it’s just this band is so bloody tight and the top of my boobs really ache and hurt when I breathe in/out. I also still have the pen ect on me from surgery which at the minute I’m just leaving on there, I was just wondering when did everyone first wash, obviously I won’t have a shower I’ll just be sort of having a flannel wash, but at the minute I just can’t think of anything worse than standing up to wash. So when did everyone first have their wash? And how? Sorry for all the questions. And Thankyou for any help

I was told I could shower 2 days later which I did with no problems. Just wash gently and try to dry dressings as best as possible. The pen takes a few washes to get off.

I had 275cc over muscle, no pains just general tenderness. I also had a macom band on me and had to take it off after 3 days because it was causing me difficulty in breathing. I mentioned it at my 1 week post op and was advised to put it back on as it massively reduces complications. I felt it squashed my boobs at the top and wasn’t giving me the shape I wanted.

Please can I advise all MYA patients NOT to shower until their nurse advises so. It is very important not to get your incisions and dressings wet during the first couple of weeks. Run yourself a shallow bath or use a flannel or wipes to wash your upper body. Love MYA mod xx
