Hi Jo, as Polly says, think it might be a bit too early after just 4 days. I did nothing at all for the first 6 days, then on day 7 had to go to London for my check-up. I felt okay, just couldn’t move too fast!!! On day 9 i had a wedding to go to (i had booked my op before i was told about the wedding!) it was okay, but i was still slightly swollen and struggled to get into my dress!
I would book your op for after your boyfriends birthday, just to be on the safe side xx
