Time off work?

by Boney1992 18th February 2014, 10:50 pm

Girls, how much time off work have you all took? My job doesn't involve lifting or anything intense! I'm having uplift and BA together, how long would you recommend? I've booked three weeks off but I think that's too long now and I start going crazy when I'm off work for too long!

Thank you xx

Babe i personally don't think 3 weeks is too long. I took 4 weeks off because it was over christmas anyway and i'm so glad i had that long break. I couldnt leave the house for 2 weeks because i was in so much discomfort. I couldn't even stand up straight or sit up straight for 2 weeks. It was only after the 2 week mark that i began adjusting and becoming more mobile. Of course everyone is different and is affected differently from their ops but I do think you should take full advantage of your 3 weeks and then you will have complete peace of mind! There'd be nothing worse than having to go back before you're ready..

Good luck, honey xxxxx

Ok babe, so should I book another week do you think? I guess if I feel up to work after two week mark I can always go back!! Thanks for reply babe!! Ps, can I see your pic trail!! xxx

Hey hun, I think tigertonix is right you might need those weeks, then again you might not. 3 weeks should be enough for you. and if you start going stir crazy then just do some online shopping hahaha! xx

by Boney1992 18th February 2014, 11:17 pm

Hahaha yeah!!! Can't wait to buy a whole new wardrobe!! xx

by tinkerbell24 18th February 2014, 11:22 pm

I needed 3 weeks plus first time, reop around 10 days xx

by kati1236 18th February 2014, 11:24 pm

I know it's going to be so exciting going shopping for the first time in ages i'll be able to not worry about buying tops and underwear... before it was always, but its too low... or if I bend down... but now its like... it can be as low as my belly button, it's still going to look amazing :D hahaha xx

by tigertonix 18th February 2014, 11:35 pm

No, babe, don't book another week off as i think you'll be okay after 3 but i think you should definitely keep the 3 just incase! :)
Course you can, lovely!! I'll Pm you now!
Hahahaa i love that, Kati! I'm so excited to wear low cut tops and i'll bend down and touch my toes if someone asks me to! My flat boobie issues are well and truly gone now haha ;) xxxxx

by kati1236 19th February 2014, 12:27 am

hahaha Tigertonix.. I love that ^^ oops did I drop my pen.. again!... sigh... and again!... and again! :P
Yes yes.. I would probably never have the balls to do that but the idea makes me evil laugh haha...
its the fact that you don't have to be embarrassed when bending down ever again, or wonder if you look ok in this... of course you do.. they are gorgeous new boobies :)
I did be naughty and buy a very low cut top the day before my BA... it has a slit right the way down the middle... and hell yes I might only wear it in the house but dam it will look good :P
no more granny high neck tops for me :D xxx

by tigertonix 19th February 2014, 12:31 am

Hahaha i'm howling!!!
You're so right! Like on american films when girls pull dollars out of their bras.. I might try that one out ;)
Haha me too, i probably wouldn't have the guts to bend down in front of anyone but i wouldn't mind imagining doing it! Let's just say that I want to start swimming. I haven't been swimming in an inside pool for 8 years.. So this should be exciting haha!
Oooh, you'll have to try that top on and send a pic!! Haha xxxxx

I took 2 weeks off but I only had a straightforward BA and overs so less invasive procedure than a BA and uplift. You should be fine after 3 weeks, but you could always book more if you want to and go back early if you get bored.

by Boney1992 19th February 2014, 8:13 am

Okay ladies, thank you. Three weeks it is then! Xx

by tinkerbell24 19th February 2014, 9:40 am

yeah tae the 3 weeks off then if you feel better you can go in to wrk earlier xx

by Boney1992 19th February 2014, 9:41 am

Yep will do gorgeous.... Wish time would bloody hurry up xx

by **Charlii** 19th February 2014, 9:48 am

I took 1week off, but then 2wks working from home. If I could have taken them off, I would have, it was so hard to concentrate on anything. Then the cabin fever sets in...went a little crazy! If you can afford 3wks away from work, go for it.

by tinkerbell24 19th February 2014, 9:49 am

honest it will be here before you know it and then you will have even bigger boobs Boobs

by Boney1992 19th February 2014, 9:51 am

Thanks Charli! Xx

Ah, I hope so Tink!! Driving me mmmmmmmaaaaaaaadddddddd Screwy

by tinkerbell24 19th February 2014, 9:55 am

yeha I agree if you can take it off then why not

my first BA lieterally floored me and I was unlucky and had severe pain x

by Boney1992 19th February 2014, 9:57 am

Yeah I'm gonna take it off babe....For some reason I just thought 3 weeks was quite long, after reading everyone's replies and looking at it thoroughly, it's not actually that long for a BA is it!! Xxx

by tinkerbell24 19th February 2014, 10:13 am

I looked at it as surgery on the scale of things any surgery is pretty big but the fact that you cant do much for 6 weeks after a BA 3 weeks isnt long at all

you might feel great and not need it at all but atleast if you are off and in the house then you know that you wont be over doing it xx

Hi everyone, im getting really worried & confused now about recovery time. My surgeon told me I would need 2 wks max off work, -im a mobile hair/beauty therapist. He even told me i'd be back horseriding after a month. I understand having overs is less disruption to the body but panicking a little now as o/h works away so will be on my own from 3days po xx

by Boney1992 19th February 2014, 10:54 am

Are you self employed? If so, and you're not feeling up to going back to work after two weeks could you not take longer? I guess everyone else's recovering time is different to each others! So two weeks may be fine for you. Xx

by tinkerbell24 19th February 2014, 11:57 am

horse riding after a month, wow really, my sister in law has 3 horses and she is pregnant so of riding at the minute

I would think that horse riding would put alot of pressure on your chest

id def rethink the horse riding after 4 weeks, however if your surgeon has said its ok, and not the PCC then get it in writing so that IF anything did go wrong your aftercare isnt voided

I know having needing a reop and looking at another reop that aftercare is VERY important

just pop in and see the surgeon when you can xx

by tinkerbell24 19th February 2014, 12:04 pm

I should also echo boney and say that we all heal very different and that you might be fine to go back to work after the 2 weeks xx

by maddimoo 19th February 2014, 12:25 pm

Thought he was a bit ambitious with the horseriding too, boob jiggle with the monthlies is not good let alone once Im carrying precious cargo! I am self employed boney & can postpone few clients but have bridal party to prep 12 days po so quite important, fingers crossed Im a quick healer xx
