This may seem a stupid question…

Hi ladies!

How long can you lift your arms post op to be able to put clothes on. I know that seems like a silly question and understand the first week you should wear zip up/button tops as you’re not able to lift your arms, but are you ok after the second week? Only ask in case I need to stock up on some button/zip clothes. Haha. x

Two weeks roughly for me . Your so organised it wasn’t till after I thought I can’t get any clothes on lol x

I’m one week post op now and with help I can wear clothes that go over your head. I was so lucky though I haven’t suffered with much pain at all and had them under the muscle. Everyone is different I suppose x

I’m 1 wk post op and I can get dressed as long as it’s not tight your be able to get it over your head but everyone is different x your body will tell you what you can and can’t do x

My main struggle was could get my arms up and arm in but then couldn’t pull my top down x

Everyone is different, I had no difficulty getting dressed or lifting my arms from day one. I got dressed in like 2 mins, the nurse came back to help me and I was sat on the bed done lol! xx

I’m 2 wks post op and can wear everything now. I started wearing over the head stretchier tops probably 5days post op. I didn’t want to try beforehand in case I pulled something x
