Hey, sorry I haven't wrote here for a while.
Well 11 days post op now & I feel great. Only took pain killers for first 3 days & nothing since. Went to my follow up appt & everything's good, all healing well. Fed up of sleeping on my back as I don't sleep that well. Sore & itchy. Keep getting tired towards the afternoon but apart from that all good. Nipped to the shops yesterday & had a try on of a bra - naughty I know as I shouldn't wear one yet, but tried one on for size - 34E -not sure if I'll shrink down anymore now as I don't think I'm swelled any more - we'll see.

They look great, did they give you good pain relief to take home? My surgery is the 7th oct. feeling very nervous, and have the same worry you did.... I really hope I wake up after surgery. How do you feel within yourself and soreness today? Xx

Thankyou. They gave me codeine, paracetamol & ibuprofen. It does take the edge of the pain, but not completely. Also Antibiotics. I've got a lot of bruising coming today over my rib cage which is more painful than the breasts, just very sore & uncomfortable, I find if you lay with plenty of pillows that you don't feel the pain as much, you just have to relax. You defiantly need a V shape pillow & a few medium firmness pillows, my husband took me to dunelm yday to get some - I couldn't get comfy without them, so a good idea to get them. I was a nervous wreck regarding the anaesthetic I was convinced I wasn't gonna wake up. & when I did I cried with relief & hugged my nurse. It did however make me very sick but once id bin sick a couple of times I was fine. You will be absolutely fine & you will wake up, I know it don't help having it said to you, but it honestly is true, you wouldn't believe how safe the medicines are they give you, they had to virtually give me a complete lesson on them before they injected me. Good Luck for the 7th... Stay calm. [RS bleep]

Also got a lot of bloating going on today my stomach is huge! Where you having your procedure? What size you going? Are you under or over? Is it just a day case? [RS bleep]

Sorry late reply, I didn't see yours until now. I see a lot of posts about this stomach bloat... did it go down quick? I'm getting 430cc high profile under muscle. I think I should be about a 34 D. Was yours under? I'm having surgery at 2 on Friday then staying over night. I think I will be happy being in for one night for price of mind. How are you feeling now? Do you love your new boobs?

It took around a 9 days for the stomach bloat to go! Mine are actually over the muscle. Yes I do love them, but kinda wish I'd of gone bigger - however I'm still happy [RS bleep] good luck!

They look great! I'm also with Harley medical but I'm having Dr Sleiter. Surgery booked for 6th Oct.. Aahghh.
Thank you for the reassurance about the GA, it's the main thing I'm also worried about.
I noticed that you have the Macom bra, could you tell me how you find it? Is it comfortable, is it worth the money? I've got a couple of post op bras but I'm debating whether to spend a bit more on a Macom? Any advice would be great! Hope you're recovering well.
Thanks xx

The Macom Bra is so much more comfortable than the standard sports bras I got from M & S - I'd say the Macom are the best, so well made. I'm normally a 34 back but went for a 36 because of swelling & it's perfect, I got 2 of them. Good Luck. Xx

Well I'm alive!!! Had it done yesterday at around 12:30 was awake by 1:40 - felt very sore & painful at first so had morphine, which then made me very sick, my bladder also went to sleep took around 5 hours to be able to wee. Stayed in a hotel last night, which was nice, slept on my back as told, no pain in breasts just back pain. Really happy with the size, bigger than I expected but so please up to try. My surgeon & his team where fantastic, so caring & supportive. Didn't really like being put to sleep, not a nice feeling at all, but I'm still here. Any questions guys please ask. Going down for breakfast now I'm bloody starving!! X

Congratulations! Sounds like you are doing really well. You are probably pretty swollen, so the size should decrease slightly. :)
