I've wanted this for many years and I finally plucked up the courage. I suppose it was a gift from my husband for my 34th birthday. After a terrible experience at spire parkway hospital in SOLIHULL, I came across mr Jonathan staiano. A friend recommend him! This guys bloody amazing, don't know how I missed him beforehand. Anyway, day 3, in a lot of discomfort, pain and tightening across the chest. Sides of my belly feels sore and very tender, can't think why as Jonathan was no where near there. But I popped in to see him today, and he reassured me everything is where it's supposed to be and it's perfectly Normal what I'm experiencing. Now I'm a smoker and I quit for the sake of my op, however, smoking helps me go to the toilet as I suffer with IBS. Can you imagine what im feeling right now??? I haven't been for the past 4 days and I'm so uncomfortable so bloated, the post op bra is cutting into my belly too. Feel so yucky!!! Will it be terrible if I had just the one cig???? :(((

Hello! I am a smoker, I was to quit at least 2 weeks prior and after surgery. I failed miserably. I'm not sure if it affected my post op or healing, but I've had no complications and am 8 weeks post :)

can you take a laxative or drink a cleansing tea.

I've tried the laxative, and peppermint tea, hasn't really helped. Although he peppermint tea helped a lot with a heat/prickly rash that I broke out in after my op

What helped my bowel to move was some cheap laxatives I got from the dollar store. Someone recommended them to me. Let me tell you, it worked. Orange pill in a green box $2

The reason they say to quit smoking before surgery is because smokers can have more anesthesia issues. Quitting smoking after is supposed to help with healing quicker. I hade ligament reconstruction surgery on my ankle last year and was never told to stop smoking just asked to cut down and i don’t think I healed any slower x

Tightness is starting to ease up. But left boob still in a lot of pain especially crawling round the side and back of the boob. Still swollen. But I can now elevate myself out of bed without being in excruciating pain!!!

Still in pain

Gosh I have like a pulling sensation in my left breast towards the side... really limiting me. It's disappointing to read that by day 5, many are pain free. ????
