Pain and discomfort

Hi everyone, I know this topic probably been discussed before but I have a few questions that I’m hoping someone can help with. I’m 3 days PO and had 300cc under the muscle from a small 34A. I am in so much pain and i know this is normal but was wondering if anyone else had to wear strapping+compression belt+tight sports bra on top. I honestly can’t breathe, can’t sleep and can barely move. Is this normal? Is it ok to remove the belt at least for a few hours? Thank you! xx

I had exactly this! It’s awful & it feels like you’re wearing a straight jacket…. but, once you get your strapping etc off… honestly it’s so worth it. Stick with it. If you need a break from breast band for half hour a day – don’t worry about it, but it will be worth it… & the relief is UNREAL!!! Xx

Hey, I had the strapping on, at my pre op my nurse told me i wouldn’t need a bra over as it did enough support but after my op the nurse put my bra on and told me to keep it on. POD1 I had to take the bra off I was in so much pain and breathing got so hard I felt like I was going to pass out. My paper work says that you don’t need the bra with the strapping, I called MYA to check as I didn’t want to put it back on and they said that’s fine. I had my strapping off yesterday and my nurse said they’re healing fine. Hope you feel better soon, know how you feel my pain lasted days too xxxx

Thank you for your reply ladies! It’s really helpful to know someone else went through the same. I will have my strapping off in 3 days, can’t wait to breathe again!
