Never Thought It Would Happen - Due Mid-November - Bristol, UK

Sleeping on my side resumed at 5.5 weeks post-op! Just to give hope to those who think it's never going to return!

Hadn't finished editing it!! So I had about 8 days of slight oozing at 3 T-section sites, exactly like some other people had described so I wasn't worried. It wasn't even every day, one of them was nearly every day and the other 2 sites hardly at all. As of 5 weeks I can sleep on my sides! I was actually very comfortable in our normal bed on my back with heaps of pillows, but it's nice to sleep on my sides again, just for variety! I expect to be massaging my scars within a couple of days, and starting on the Gel+ tape. Don't feel like going running would be sensible yet, but have been walking 15 miles a week since week 2, and last week found myself running upstairs without thinking, then clutching my chest to avoid damaging anything (plus slight disco fort as still swollen a little); but how amazing, to be running without thinking first - such a good sign I am feeling much much better! No regrets at all about having this done, best thing ever!!

tiny holes developed at about 4 weeks at 3 of my 4 T-sections didn't develop into anything. The one under my left nipple was quite an indentation about 3mm across and a dark sunken scab. The wish to pull it away was very strong, but I managed to resist (seen enough scary pictures to want to leave well alone!!). It is now levelling out and behaved well the whole time. The tiny holes under each breast again behaved well - both gave off a little stuff but I just used plain gauze, no ointments or anything, just a shower every few days. Everything I've seen suggests not interfering with them unless they get inflamed/hot/infected.
