Hi
I was reviewed last night at Ross hall with the tissue viability nurse and my surgeon. All is well , not a heamatoma! Said it was blood oozing from a suture and that there's nothing to worry about. I have a new dressing in place (inadine and micro pore absorbent dressing) to Absorb the blood and keep bacteria at bay. So pleased that's there is nothing to worry about! Shame that the worry put a dampener on my week but after my review my mood lifted straight away. I have been given sterile water, swabs and dressings to keep on top of dressings at home. I will attend my surgeons clinic a week come tue for a further check up, I have been given the all clear to go back to work on Mon :-). Advised to carry out lighter duties which I fully intend to do. I used 3 weeks annual leave for my BR. My work do not know that i have had a BR. My work are aware that I have sciatica So I will claim that my sciatica is bothering me and ask for lighter duties. So relieved that I am healing well and long may it continue. Thanks for all your support realself ladies.

I only told my husband, sons and mother about my reduction, I have been told I look slimmer or have lost weight, 2 of my friends haven't noticed anything, I think some people know you look different but don't know why. Good luck.

Hi,
Your right! When I returned to work today the girls just thought I had lost weight! And others didn't comment at all. Pleased that no one has noticed any big changes! The biggest change was no neck and shoulder pain after a busy days work! Fabulous feeling :-)

Hi, thanks for sharing your story, you've fairly been through it. Looks well worth it though! Can I ask how your boobs have settled now? Do you have any after pics that you'd be willing to share? I saw Eva for a consultation and really liked her, but I haven't plucked up the courage to go ahead with op yet. Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the support
Thanks peebeeuk and 30HH for your comments, nice to have reassurance on days like this :-) nice tip about pillow nest il be building one tonight. Wound review went well, nurse said its a heamatoma and the wound is in tack! Phew!
She cleaned me up and renewed my dressings. Iv to go back tomorrow late afternoon to get a check with the tissue viability nurse and my surgeon will be at the clinic to cast an eye also. My moods better after the clinic review, feel reassured and well looked after. Nice to come home & log into my profile to find your supportive comments!
