You look like you are healing properly from what I have seen from other ladies on the site. I think you may be moving around too much. You may feel good but you have to remember you have just had 2 major procedures done. Once you heal your body is going to be amazing. I'm sure if you relax a bit you can notice that your shoulder and back pain is gone.

Your so right changingb430 as women I think the hardest think is actually relaxing without feeling guilty like we should be doing things hey? But when we get over the guilt and realise it's what we have to do for a speedier recovery it's good...

Exactly! I think that we are so use to being on the go, doing everything, and even just being in control of everything. Hey, we're women and nobody can run the house like we do. Lol! But in times like this, we have to take the backseat.

Hey, Justus2, you take care and be careful. As others have noted, you have had TWO (count 'em) major surgeries. Not only will your body take a good four to six months to completely heal physically, there is a great deal of psychological and emotional healing that will be going on, as well. Make sure you have a good support group around you (if that includes your niece, then yay, lucky you to have such a sweetie!) and always go on RealSelf to post questions, concerns and gain insight from others who have gone through what you have experienced. TAKE IT SLOWLY, ONE HOUR AT A TIME, DO NOT EXPECT ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHAT HAPPENS TO COME ALONG. xoxo little chicka.

Question? I'm seeing a lot of picture with tape around the breast what kind off tape is that, maybe that's what I need instead of me using bandage
June 23, 2014
Justus2 is the bandage from your ps or something you just put on ? I have tape that my ps nurse redressed for me he said this is to help hold the breast nice and firm (due to all internal stitches) and keeps the scars flat next week he Sid to start gentle massage of the breast (this is also to keep scars flat and not lumpy ) I have allergies to bandage so have to be careful what I use and the tape he uses Is fine for me...that's why I was wondering if your nipple was a reaction to your bandage? When I had my tummy tuck he also advised massage along the scar a few times a day and I followed his instructions and you have to look real close to see the faintest lines.

My husband bought them from CVS they are the same ones the doctor put on me the first day on my surgery but I'm wonder if I should use tape instead and where to buy them , I will start my massages tomorrow 4 times a week should be enough or should I get more massages I hear massages are good to mold your body?

WELCOME TO THE OTHER SIDE ! Make sure to really take it easy and rest ! It MAY LITERALLY DRIVE YOU NUTS - but better than ripping out any stitches or getting a Blood Clot ! We heal from the Inside Out - so it will take a LONG TIME YET ! Not really a quick Recovery Time Line. I never had any Pads or Tape - or anything . Came home with Drain Tubes - and those were removed the next morning after surgery. Then - always just Bare.

I'm sorry I don't want to scare you, but yu should get a second opinion on those incisions. And how long this surgeon has been doing this type of surgery
