I'll get there some day!

Hi all, sorry have been MIA. Dont even know were to begin, first i think am happy i have done the surgery if I would do it again not to sure. I have not been the best candidate so far its been one issue after the other. Breast started to settle down, which by the way its still uneven and black and not so pretty. Next think a swelling on top of my belly button, serious pain and fever, PS took me back in surgery last week to clear out the infection been off work sick for over a week now. Not sure when i would be over all this and be 100%
Am just taking each day as it comes and praying nothing springs up again am on my 3rd course of antibiotics.
What i would say is i guess it just my luck things have not gone smoothly for me, i would however like to say my PS James Murphy and his nurse Jackie are exceptional they have been really good and always there with solutions to all my issues. When i call about any issues they saw me straight away and ensured things were dealt with immediatley i know things would have been worse if I did not have my PS and his nurse. I would like to say a massive thank you to them and they are the best. Any1 considering a TT or breastlift should definatley go with them you are rest assured the after care is 110%.
Looking back at my old pictures i am definatley happy in my new body and am hoping as time goes on things would settle down and improve.
Finally a massive massive thank u to my dear RS friend Janeellie she has been a solid rock all through this period always encouraging me and reassuring me things would settle down and i would get better. Thanks so much darlings.
I hope everyone on the recovery road is doing well with no issues.
I think am about 8 weeks gone hopefully things would turn out great eventually. All in all am glad i did it i love the way i look in cloths very lovely it out of cloths thats not so fab lol. Hoping to be back to work next week and to enjoy a fabulous xmas drama free.
Have a lovely holiday everyone [RS bleep]

Wish i was happy

Hi all, have summoned up the courage to take some pics, am so depressed and sad and at this point i cant see the light at d end of the tunnel.
I cant believe at 4 weeks post op i would be at this low point. Everytime i take my bra of to change the pad am crying my eyes out at what happened to my boobs its so sad and disheartning.
I dont even know what to do i wish the bleeding wld stop and for now my boobs look so ugly i cant bear to look in d mirror or for my hubby to look at them he's been supportive and optimistic but at the point of me being so depressed and unhappt its breaking him as well.
The issues i can see which i wld like any advice on are:
1. Underneath the breast has a hole sippong out blood today is day 6 should this still be happening.
2. The line along the stitches is hard and swollen and bumpy.
3. There is a dent inwards under the boobs which is turning black and very hard to touch.
4. This as all made the boobs uneven in shape.
I really need to know if things would change and another surgery would not be required.

To other things i am still using gauze on the BB there is always 1 sticky thing coming out its not dry i have to change gauze all the time is this normal i thot by now that shld be healed.

Tummy from the pics is swollen i have to suck in which i can do now with no pain otherwise it looks and feels huge. Am 4 weeks post op now is this still considered as swelling? Can any1 pls advise me on what post surgical garment to buy to help with the swelling at the moment i wear the cg given at surgery which is a very soft binder dont think its doing much. When i go out i wear my old ones. Am not sure what to do to help with the swelling.
I dont even eat much at all when am unhappy i cant eat i try to just nibble on something as i start to feel faint from not eating i cant seem to pull myself out of it as i cant bear to think what if the appearance does not improve and am just scared nothing else goes wrong. I neva envisaged things would come to this i was seeing my ps nurse abt 2wice a week so i cant say i was neglected am not just sure if the infection shld hav been caught sooner before it got to this stage. I have also looked at d site so see if i wld find some1 with similar compliants but i cant really and the ones i see talk abt corrective surgery or scar revision. I am not sure i can face that again.
I just want things to get to normal and i can be happy again i thot the surgery wld improve my relationship with my hubby but at this stage its driving us apart. I see my ps on tues for my 4 weeks post op i really pray he has a solution.
Thanks ladies such a shame to not have a postive review i cannt wait to get to that stage. Any advice on the tummy wld be great pls or on anything to put my mind at ease. Thanks ladies [RS bleep]

Feeling more like myself

Hi Ladies thank u all for the positive messages and i did have a lovely bday it was fun and i felt like my old self. The anti biotics and draining did help a lot. I have just stopped taking pain meds i took them for a month solid thought i was getting addicted.
Went to see the nurse ystday blood still coming out from boobs seems like am on a neva ending period from d boobs lol. Its still hard, lumpy and all ugly on d right boobs am just praying time wld heal d wounds and it wld become normal and d scars wld fade. Am back to work on monday not looking forward to that have been off for 4 weeks so time to get my butt of my recliner. Still sleeping on recliner as i cant sleep on my side due to the boobs.
Tummy on d other hand is fine i still look like a drawing board when i look in d mirror no definition or shape i dont even know how to address that issue, seeing my ps on tue for my 4 weeks post op will speak to him.
Am just praying in 3 months i wld be over d moon with my results at the moment it looks ok under cloths very very far from wanting to wear a bikini or flaunt it. Dont like for my hubby to see me without cloths still looks a mess. Am happy d surgery is done its d looking nice bit am really looking forward to will post some pics maybe its mee not seeing the good side to d surgery yet.
Thanks ladies and do all have a wonderdul wkend. Xx

Everything about my PS is fantastic! His practice and method is outstanding! He owns his practice at an hospital, not some PS that come out of town and not reachable after the procedure. He is very nice and lovely and I think he does a fantastic job all his post op pics are really good and reviews from past patients is 100% I had a lot if confidence in him prior to the op! I pray everything goes smooth sailing till am discharged and don't have to see him anymore. I have scored him 4 stars for bedside and time spent due to seeing him for about 3 mins after surgery before been discharged. This is not an issue to be honest because if there is something wrong he is available and he would see you. We all don't want anything going wrong so does not bother me much. Hospital stay was very good the nurses were amazing and nothing was too much trouble (u do pay heavily for this service in the UK) and for what you pay for you get a great service. They checked up on me at all times and the food was amazing so many choices. After care was 100% as well. I would highly recommend Mr Murphy his work speaks for him! Good natured man and excellent results and he never keeps you waiting for an appointment.
