Dressings off!

I've been back for my check today, I'm on day 15 and I can now have a SHOWER!!! I'm thrilled, it was the first thing that I did when I got in, even before having a cuppa! ohhhh to feel water from my wet hair running down my back and to feel CLEAN!

On the way home I called in M&S and La Senza for new sports bras, in the changing room in M&S I overheard the woman measuring a lady, she said that at one time they measured band size and cup size, now they measure band size, visual check and then guess! she said its because even in the same shop they have different brands and sizing is different

I decided to forget the sports bra then and try some nice pretty ones on instead and went to La Senza too :lol: and she was right! I fit into a 34DD and a 36D in 2 different types in M&S and a 36DD in La Senza, I didnt realise the sizing was so different between shops?

Anyway, I'm really happy, I'm pleased with how my incisions are healing (had the uplift too) and all is good!

Glad you're happy now lovely... and how great is that first shower after two weeks!!!

xx

Its the best shower I've had in my life! I thought she'd put steri strips back on but she hasn't, so I was very careful!

Is that pic you Roxy? If so then yours look fab!

Thanks lovely!

Glad everything is going well hun :lol: xx

Well done darling. The fun begins now looking for sexy bras. Cjeck out figleaves.com they have some lovely sets! x

Glad everythings good for you x

Thanks girls

I've added some pics now if anyone wants to see, I'm really happy with the scars that you can see, I was dreading having the uplift but I'm glad I did now :)

Password etc same as before but pm if you've not got it. I've also got updated day 13 pics of my eyes, which dont look anywhere near as gruesome as they did on day 1 :lol:

Good news everything is going well for you. didn't realise you have to wait 2 weeks until you can have a shower,- i will be returning to work after 1 week, so i guess lots of basic washes at the sink then?!!

Congratulations

Wow, they look massive . Scars look like they are healing nicely aswell. Very nice, you should be proud :lol:

Thanks SB! I think they look bigger because its a close up shot, from a distance they look smaller :lol: Just waiting for them to go soft and drop now! x

Hi Rachel!!! What a great day!! Check up and shower!!.....SHEER BLISS!! I remember that day more vividly than the op day...just to feel clean and fresh is the best It is a great milestone...gets better by the day!!

Bra shopping too ..well you made the most of it, well done you!!

Could I have a peek at pics too please?

Thanks for sharing Rachel!!

Looking really good!! Your boobs and eyes have certainly healed very well indeed and great result!! The difference the uplift has made is brilliant you must be thrilled. The scars are neat too, I use dermatix on mine which has helped. You will feel your boobs soften and drop pretty soon I would think now with overs too. Enjoy

That's great news glad you doing so well x

They took my bandages off today too, but put dressings on for just a couple more days, so my shower will have to wait a bit longer :sad:

I was so excited about seeing before they put more dressings on, I jumped off the bed, went to the mirror and then near enough passed out!! :pale:

I had to have a little lay down......

Yep! I got some alcohol gel stuff they use in hospitals for patients that can't be washed. My mum had some after her hysto and it was brilliant. Well, it did the job!

aww glad you got them off carnt wait to have mine off friday so i can have a nice soak :) bet it was lovely.do u mind if i look please?x

Thanks

I might try some dermatix Mia, would I be able to start using it now or wait a few more weeks? Can I get it at Boots or is it online? x

I never thought about using that gel Roxy! I have some too because I was using it every 5 mins for my hands just incase I touched my eyes!

ooohh Well done Rachel!

I had my first shower today too - heaven eh?? :)

Amazing set of pics too Boobs looking very full and perky - yes, role on bra shopping!

Ohhhh you must be feeling great too Annie! :) Thanks

Kay I think your inbox is full? x

Hi Rachel,

OMG didn't realise I won't be able to shower for 2 weeks, that's awful! Glad you're feeling lovely and clean now, wow I bet that felt good. Have u been using dry shampoo before u were allowed to get wet? and is it any good? Am not looking forward to looking like Waynetta for the next 2 wks....

ps cd i see pics too please?

Thanks for that Rachel09, still trying to work out this fandangled PMing and stuff..... will have a look tomorrow and then hopefully work out how to put mine up there

x

Thats fab news Rach, glad you're loving your boobies too and they get better and better x

Thanks for letting me see - wow that uplift has done its job, they really look much more perky don't they? and yes I can see they still need to drop but they will be lovely and full when they are properly settled - a real transformation, bet you're glad you've done it now. I'm getting a bit jittery, only 3 days till I'm done....

As far as I am aware Rachel you can start using when scars are fully closed, it helps to soften heal and fade the scars. I started at 6/7 weeks when I had chat with P.S. and I asked about it. I would call clinic and ask if O.K. first at this stage. It is very expensive around £90.00 for 30grams from boots etc. though can be obtained on presciption in England. There are also different brand names i.e. Kelecote etc. I bought mine from e.bay for around £30.00 for the large 60gram tube. Good Luck xxx

Thanks Mia, I've just read about it on the net, sounds great! I've got another appointment with the nurse next Tues so I'll ask her when I can start to use things like that and in the meantime I'll see if I can find some on ebay!

I love ebay it's great!
