Please help with my queries re things said in the legendary boobie bible

Wow, the boobie bible is fab!!

My op is on 22nd and I have just a few queries (sorry girls)

– the dermatix strips – are these to be used on the scars after 6 weeks or straight away?

– body butter anti stretch marks and bio-oil – when do I start using this? Now? And do I use it straight after the op? But avoid the scars?

– Arnica tablets – which one’s do I buy and how many do I need to get? Is it usually a week before and a week after?

Finally

– Sports bra – I am currently a 34b hoping to be a d – what size should I get and do I need to get a 36 band?

Thanks girls, you lot are great. You should be working for MYA xxxxxxx

dermatix strip are to be used after 6 weeks hun.

use the body oil/butter before and after your opp just avoid the scars

i personally wouldnt take arnica because its know to thin the blood, i didnt take it and had no bruising at all

id say get a 36 (for swelling) and 34 back (once swelling has gone down) and get a DD and E cup sports bra xx

Thanks babe, that’s very helpful. My bruise very easily so my pre-op nurse told me to take arnica. Confused now! xx

its one of them things on here that some people do and some people dont, i think fairy was told it was a big no no by her surgeon as was i, but i think mario doesnt mind his patients taking it, personally i wouldnnt risk it but, thats just my opinion xx

Wowzers well I don’t think i will now then. My surgeon is Mr Traynor. I didn’t actually check with him tbh it was my pre-op nurse who told me to take it x

Tracy2010,I would always follow the surgeons instructions re taking anything.xxx
