Oh my god 4 more sleeps! yahoo

Got my sports bra this morning- Nurse at my pre op on tues told me not to buy an expensive one or one that does up at the front so just got a couple of cheap high impact sports bras from tesco?!? Did the rice boobs this afternoon 300ml in a measuring jug! They are perfect just hope my real(fake) boobies are the same filled the d cup perfect! dance

How exciting!!!, a week tomorrow for me :)

Welshdoll, so ur nurse told u not to get one that does up in front? My nurse suggested this surgical one that costs +£30 but I'd prefer to get a cheaper one if tried and tested. She mentioned that the seams inside might rub against the stitches so best to get a seamless one that goes below the stiches... Any experience, advice?? X

Hey!
God I really don't know everyone seems to given different advice... I was all set on buying a macom but she was quite firm and said it would be a waste of money and the PS doesn't recommend ones that do up at the front! I should have asked why in hindsight but she was super busy so i didn't want to bombard her with questions! I have read on here somewhere that u can put a panty liner on the seams if they rub?!?
The ones a grabbed today were only £6 and feel super comfy with my rice boobs! so if I find they are no good I haven't wasted loads on them anyway xxx

by angie8131 14th March 2013, 8:41 pm

Yeah! It was the Macom she recommended! I would think that if they do up front it would be easier and less movement needed to do it up, which is what we should aim for, so I'm curious why she'd recommend against it... Maybe in case the fastening rubs against the scars???
I saw 2 for £12 in sports direct and was set on buying those, but now not so sure, will have a look in M&S x

It is very weird considering all the specific post op bras are front fastening!! Oh well I'm just gonna go with their advice its not like I'm going to be taking it on and off that much hey!!! Xxx

by angie8131 15th March 2013, 3:53 pm

by hannahp123 15th March 2013, 4:07 pm

It went fine thanks Lisa. She just took off my dressings and told me to buy some sports bras. How are u getting on Lisa?xx

by Lisa34 15th March 2013, 4:12 pm

Good I'm glad all is ok x I often sit and think about my boobie buddies lol!! Yeah I'm good thanks, I had my first shower today, and noticed I have mondors cord. I have also had a visit from the spot fairy, how nice lol xx but I'm doing well, a much easier recovery than I thought. Have you managed a good look at them new boobies??

by angie8131 15th March 2013, 4:24 pm

Mondors cord?? What is that?? Lol

Good to hear u ladies are recovering well ;) x

by Lisa34 15th March 2013, 4:29 pm

It's a funny vein like thingy under the skin, it looks like something is too tight and it's pulling. it's quite common after BA, something to do with things mending back together I think! Have a look on the topic search, there's quite a bit on there xx I'm going to put some pics of it on my picture trail xx

by hannahp123 15th March 2013, 4:33 pm

Glad to hear you're well. Yep I've had a little look, look good so far just so weird looking at them! Nurse says I can start massaging the scars now, a little
Scared to touch them though lol!xx

by Lisa34 15th March 2013, 4:42 pm

Oh I'm not allowed to touch mine yet, I've got to wait until I see my surgeon in 4 weeks. It's weird isnt it, looking down and seeing boobies. Can I ask what size you started? I'm so nosey x

by angie8131 15th March 2013, 4:48 pm

Oh, I need to check that picture trail!! I'm learning so much, just as well cuz if be panicking about budda belly, mondors cord or morning boob if I hadn't read about it here!! I can't wait until I look down and see boobies!!

by Lisa34 15th March 2013, 4:55 pm

I know angie, this site has really helped me, I've learnt so much. And it's all things that would probably have me on the phone to my surgeon in a panic, but all very normal things associated with a BA. I will pm you my pic trail info as soon as I have uploaded the new pics.

by angie8131 15th March 2013, 5:01 pm

Oh cool! Thanx Lisa! ;) xx

by Lisa34 15th March 2013, 5:06 pm

No problem Huni x

by Boodreams 15th March 2013, 5:39 pm

Hannahp - what is your ps advice re the incision? applying oil? Ill ask mine on Monday at pre-op, but just wondering..

by angie8131 15th March 2013, 5:47 pm

My nurse said not to put anything on it till after 6 weeks, cuz some oils can actually thin the skin and make it worse x
