Exactly what I was Gunnar put lol! And that you have to wear them for TEN DAYS!!!! Shocked

Wish I'd known about the 'no arms bum-shuffle' to get out of bed after my BA! I'd have done a few sit up's to help the stomach muscles a bit in preparation! I also second the gurlgy noises and the morning boob.

I wish someone would have told me more about "surgery regret". It sure is playing mind games with me. Two to three days after surgery all I did was cry and that I wanted my body to be back the way it was before. It has gotten better, but I still have moments of regret.

Also, knowing about all of the healing process and living through it is two totally dfferent things.

Hi missy how did u notice the hematoma? And was it easy to sort out or did it take another op? Forgive me for being a bit stupid butvi never looked into any of this and my right boob still huge very swollen and sore. Thanks.

by xbeautifulx 15th September 2011, 5:07 pm

I think you notice hematoma via bruising? Not sure though

by alexandra33 15th September 2011, 5:10 pm

Well, a hematoma is a bruise, but what the doctor is talking about, you'll pull something and I'm pretty sure it swells up immediately to like twice its size. It's hot, red, you really can't miss it.

But regular bruises are normal.

that's what my PS said....

Cant always see bruising with a haematoma.
Usually sore, swollen & can be hot to touch.

by needboobs 15th September 2011, 5:22 pm

Sorry Ali, think i posted same time as you x

by Lauren87 15th September 2011, 5:29 pm

Thanks xbeautifulx

by alexandra33 15th September 2011, 5:50 pm

LOL no problem NB - I wonder when one is "out of the woods" for hematoma??

Does anyone know?

by rlmiller8267 15th September 2011, 11:41 pm

Thank you all for the well wishes. I'm feeling better about the surgery. I think most of it was due to the lack of sleep. I was only getting 3-4 hours of sleep a night. But once I was able to sleep on my side I was able to get more sleep and that has helped alot.

by Wenna 16th September 2011, 12:43 am

Well i wish i had been told that although its surgery its elective surgery and you dont get as much sympathy and help because you brought it on yourself ! Unlike if you had an op coz there was something wrong with you !

Oh and also that although your husband was fine about you having a BA they can change and be a bit off after !

by Lou2011 25th September 2011, 3:31 pm

So true about the bloated belly. It's more painful than the boobs!

by aliwoo 25th September 2011, 4:02 pm

Loving all the posts and agreeing with them all, bloated belly's, morning boob, squelching noises, months for them to 'drop n fluff', more than one consultation, and most importantly, being able to share on this forum so that we don't panic and think it's only happening to us?! Well done ladies! X

Spots spots and more blooming spots (on the chest), I was covered in them for what seems like weeks! Before I had my BA I wish somebody had told me.... - Page 2 856466
