questions!!! Help pleaseeee

1) I've just ran out of arnica!!!! I had my op friday am I ok to stop or should I go buy some more?!?! I've had no bruising but planned on taking it until wed.

2) Why exactly do we have to sleep propped up? I had a nap flat on my back and woke up with pins and needles in my legs, is this related to my boobs? Did they steal my legs blood? Sounds stupid but ah well!

3) Can I take multi vitamins again?

4) Can I consume as much caffeine as I want?

5) When did you have your stitches taken out? I had a dream last night one popped out and my boob started falling out then the nurse called wanting to take them out thurs, so 6 days post op.

I think that is all for now.... thanks in advance!!!

Hey hunni first off just sleep however u feel comfortable but I wud advice sleeping proped up for at least another week. U shud get sum more arnica I took sum up 2 two weeks after and I had no bruising and my scars r hardly visible! I think u can start taking ur multivitamins again now, I did straight after my op and coffee kept me going after my op too.
Hope I covered it all for u and wish u a speedy recovery xxxx

Thank you, will get myself to the chemist! Thought 84 pills was tons but thinking about it its only just over 10 days supply! I'm fine sleeping upright, big of back strain but completely bareable, just curious why were supposed to, I assume its to do with swelling!

1 yes you can stop
2 did you sleep with your legs crossed. Your boobs won't steal their blood. You sleep propped up to reduce swelling and as soon as swelling is gone the morning boob goes.
3 not sure, I would think so
4 drink as much tea and coffee as you want. But drink lots of water to help with healing.
5 I had an appointment booked before my op to have my stitches out after 10 days. Are you sure you don't have disolvable stitches

Healthy eating will help your body heal

Yeah I think its to do with swelling but it was physically impossible for me to sleep flat on my back! They were so heavy to begin with but now doesn't even feel as though I've got implants!(well sum days anyway, I had problems with my righty!)
Take care and rest up xxx

Im sure I dont have dissolvable stitches, definitely need an appointment for them to be removed I just thought this was a bit soon? but i suppose if im not ready she'll leave them and i'll go back another day?
Im being all healthy trying to help my bod recover as quickly as possible!

Natty your boobs look great, i've read about your problems, is it all solved now?
I've just put a jumper on and im so happy with how my boobs look (consideration taken for them being new etc)!

Hiya steph

cant answer about the arnica - cos I only found out about it from you lot after my ba.

I was never told to sleep propped up. I did ask my PS why you ladies were told to and you know what he said? ... sleep in whatever way makes you comfortable - you cant damage them and the swelling will still settle. He also said that lack of sleep is likely to make you feel a lot more rubbish that the morning boob which lasts only a couple of seconds. Maybe its cos of the size i had? yours a little bit bigger than mine were but not so much that would make that much difference? If Id had to sleep propped up I would have ended up very creaky and irritable

yes to the multivitamins is what I was told

I LIVE on coffee - its probably not that advisable really and most health professionals would say this too I guess .... whilst slurping their coffee

I had dissolvable stitches so cant help on that one but I was scared about how soon the strips came off (felt too soon) so you can imagine what a mardy I would have been if I had had stitches and been told they comin out at 6 days like you! Am sure you will be fine, they know what they doing. xx

No haven't got it sorted yet but have an appointment with James 2moro, hopefully will find out what to next but it looks like I will need a reop! Ohh well maybe I'll ask for even bigger implants cus my skin has stretched since last June!! Lol he said he cud only fit the 520's in and since I'm going through it all again I thought y not hehe bloody boob greed!!!! Xx

Arnica, I am planning to take for 7 days post op.

Sleeping reclined rather than flat I have been told to do for 10-14 days but I will see how I go as it is killing my back. Not sure i have had morning boob although they are tender when I go from reclining to standing so maybe that is morning boob.

Caffine, I wasn't given any instruction but I don't drink much coffee or tea etc anyway.

Multivitamins, I am back on mine.

I have my first post-op check-up on Monday which is apparently when the dressings come off and assuming all is well I can have a shower! I think I have dis-solvable stitches.

Good luck with your appointment huni, i'd probably be the same, no boob greed yet but when my time is due for a re-op i'll definitely go bigger! I also had the biggest that would fit.

I'm not sure whether I have morning boob either? Im quite comfortable in the mornings but get a bit stiff/painful and therefore grumpy from 5pm on wards, I think i've been doing too much in the day to be honest. I was told to try being propped up for a week so I intend on trying my best until as much swelling as possible goes

i heard music when I read that ... you know that DN DN DNNNNNN music you hear in horror films it is pretty breathtaking but most definatly worth a bit of discomfort. x

Me too! lol! Not looking forward to it, was hoping that if I hadn't had it straight away that I had somehow skipped it!

Aww i hoping i already had it and it was too bad... boo :-( sods law it'll start tomorrow. Day back at uni xxx

dont worry, it only lasts a couple of seconds. If you know its goin to happen i think you'll handle it better. x
