I took the steri strips off yesterday because they were bloody and ugly. After I took them off there were two long pieces of nylon stitches on each side, and man did that bother me! My quick fix? Kotex mini pads (sticky part on bra). Ahhhh much better. It wasn't 5 minutes after I took those little strips off that the stitches started bothering me. They were poking me, and hurting! I get them out tomorrow, so don't want to screw anything up! Bad move on my part DON'T DO IT! Photos tomorrow after stitches out!

That sounds uncomfortable! I took my steristrips off at home too but I have the dissolvable stitches so nothing is poking me. The strips were really getting on my nerves though. Hope your appointment went wel!!

I had to pull myself up into my big truck holding on to the steering wheel. Ouch! I'm going to be driving for 5 hours on Thursday, so I thought I'd better practice. Well had to put ice on my boobs after driving for 30 minutes. I think it was more to do with the pulling myself into the drivers seat. I'm a shorty. Can't wait to get the stitches out. Still wearing bras 24/7, and boobs still look the same. The implants feel softer this time. They are not as swollen this time either. I wonder why? I can't wait to get to my new home and relax! I don't drink but I think I will have a huge glass of wine when I get to Mississippi!

I am moving in a few days! Ugh.... I found another bra that's more comfortable with cups. I've seen many articles about not wearing a sports bra that pushes your boobs together. My doctor said that if I can't drive the 4 hours to get stitches out that they would talk me through over the phone! Yikes! Lol my new roomate has been a nurse for a long time ....whewwww. Moving Wednesday driving 5 hours to Mississippi, and stitches out same day! Getting stitches out at 2 weeks.

Good luck. My doctor uses dissolvable stitches. They never itched and do not hurt. I hope you get some relief.

Thanks I wish he would have used those! I wonder why they all don't use them. Sure is easier on the patient.
