Robyn – 18th March @doncaster

Hey chick!

Just wondering how you getting on? I don’t actually feel too bad! Obviously bruises and tender under the arms mainly. But otherwise rather good.

I’m keeping on top of my pain meds but I don’t wake myself up during the night for them, so first thing in the morning is a little uncomfortable but really starting to feel myself again.

My strapping is coming loose on my cleavage gap already so not sure how long that will last.

Just wanted to check in with you and see how your getting on xx

Hi Trudi, glad you are doing well. My strapping is the same which is a bit worrying as it is supposed to last until next Tuesday and can’t see how it will do that. I keep trying to have a look but lifting my top up hurts so much! This morning was the worst I have felt, not so much pain but really heavy on top of my chest so had to have tablets first thing this morning!
Do all down your sides ache going under your arms all down the side of your stomach? I feel like I should be black and blue there and shocks me when I see that I am not lol!
Are you looking forward to Thursday to have a look at yours? I would be counting the days so excited to have a proper look! Really want to see the incisions too to see the size and how neat they look!
Do you know how long it’s supposed to be for the ‘fluffing’ to start? Obviously it’s not now just wondered if you knew? Xx

Mine doesn’t hurt all the way down my side. Just under the arm and level with the implant. And it’s tender where I assume my incision is too.

The heavy feeling is strange. It’s funny that I never considered it being heavier even though I’ve had implants lol!

Yes I am counting down. I had a look in the mirror last night (obviously with the strapping there) and tried to envision what they will be like without. If mine starts to come off then I’ll put one of my bras on as well just to give it extra support. It’s only tape so I guess it’s bound to come loose over time.

I have no idea with regards fluffing, I was going to ask them at my 1 week. But I do feel that my right side is more tender then my left. Was from the start. I have more movement in my left arm without it hurting. Xx

They had said about it being heavy and I just imagined it would be the same feeling as when I was breastfeeding and full of milk lol but it feels so much heavier than that!
Yeah I might put a sports bra on if the strapping gets worse as don’t want anything to go wrong if they don’t get the support they need.
I can’t wait to take the stockings off though, the nurse said to leave them on till tea time on Monday and they are driving me mad! I have the contraceptive implant in my arm though so she said it is important to leave them on and keep mobile so reduce the risk of dvt!! Will you keep me updated after you have your strapping off too please? Wish mine was on Thursday!! Xx

Of course I will!

Yes the socks are rather sexy don’t you think? Lol!! Xx

Thank you. Yeah I am not getting on well with them can’t wait to get them off lol xx

Hey girls hope your healing well I had Kazazzi yesterday my strapping comes off Tuesday of next week .. Gagging for it to hurry up lol!! I also feel like down my sides I’ve been battered lol but no visible bruising yet, and just under one boob is tender like I’ve been kicked but I’m not in pain really just uncomfortable xx

Hi Demi, sorry I have just seen your post, the nurse pulled my appointment forward for my strapping to come off today instead of next Tuesday but after taking it off she wants to see me again on Tuesday anyway as not fully healed enough for showers yet. I was shocked when strapping came off though as thought I would be black and blue but just a few little yellow bruises, nothing major.
How are you both getting on? Xx

Hey Robyn!! I had mine off today too. I asked the nurse to put another dressing over my incisions until Monday just to be extra sure but like you I’m shocked I wasn’t black and blue!! Super happy with mine. How are yours? X

Yeah I have another dressing on until Tuesday but really pleased with the look. Mr Kazzazi said I was a 34a pre op and would go to full c but now I am in a 36dd sports bra that is super tight so I am so pleased. The nurse said with how they are going and quite soft already she doesn’t think I am going to lose any size from how they are now just get closer together and drop more so couldn’t be happier!! Xx
