    Hiya everyone,
    I’m just wondering what it’s like getting strapping off? I’ve only just had my surgery done but already worrying about having the strapping off. Does it hurt? Do they just rip it off? 😐✋ What shall I expect?

    I’m worried too because when the nurse took my drains out yesterday the most painful bit of the whole day was when he pulled a bit of the strapping aside! I’m dreading it but it’s annoying me already because it’s soooooo tight feel like I can’t breathe properly 😂 it will be a relief to have it off xx

    Hey girls I get my strapping of on Thursday so will let you know how it goes. Some of the strapping has already come away under my arm pits and that didn’t hurt really. I think it’s best to get it a little wet before then is comes of easy peasey xx

    It doesn’t hurt at all the nurse runs something on it when pulling off which stops the plaster sticking x
