March Buddies

Wahoo all my march buddies are sooooo close now!! So excited for all of you xx

I'm two days post op now and still feeling really tight. My band is really itchy!! Missing a proper nights sleep. Just want to get back to normal now. Think I'm more worried about experiencing pain when I'm actually not in that much anyway..

Feeling very bruised around my left ribcage but other than that and the tightness I'm doing ok.

Gonna take another look at them tonight and see whether theyre still scaring me hahaha

Anyone felt like that?

Paracetamol!? not even any cocodamol!? codeine on its own in the best haha. Big glass of wine should do the trick. I'm thinking about it tonight, no one mentioned not drinking with my antibiotics!

How are you feeling besides that?

xx

It did bod! still is now. doing the house work and stressing about whether to cancel the 2 clients I have in the morning. Not sure if it was a good idea to be busy or not in the morning. Both my children are unwell too.
Hearts been pounding all afternoon.

Thanks for the well wishes! Keep them coming tomorrow, after last time I need all the help I can get to be brave! xx

Apart from feeling sore around my rib cage ( scars??) I am fine. Drinking, eating, watching rubbish on the tv! When I get up they hurt more- very heavy but am pleased I've been able to do stuff by myself. V tired though. What about you?

Nikki- I kept busy too. Hoovered, mopped, ironed etc. think it helped. Didn't sleep last night but today was fine. Went by myself which was daunting but hubby looking after kids. You will be fine, honestly it is worth it so remember the end game and how the rest of us have done it and are fine xxx

super big wishes for tomorrow nikki !!! xx

Once again, congrats to all the ladies who's just got their babies and happy healing and good luck and sooooo excited for us that follow

Nikki - I love how you called me Bod!! Hahahahhaaaaa.. go to sleep and rest for your big day. We will all be thinking of you.

Good luck for tomorrow Nikki :) xxx

Hey Sarah
I'm really tight in between my cleavage literally feels like it been lifted a few cm from my bone! Weird! They look super stuck and pointy at the mo which is scary cause I had only research anatomicals as that what I was told I was having! Dont have a clue what these will end up like now! Arrrggghhhh
Am taking tradamol and diazepam but I could prob do without it to be honest not in any pain just the tightness can move my arms freely etc and defo ready to go home!!!

Im day three now and im feeling so much better. The tightness is lifting or maybe im judt getting used to it haha. My bruising is lifting too. So at least you know it wont last too long!
Im sure they will end up just fine, they all do in the end dont they!

Congrats on your op!

And good luck to anyone about to have it!! Youll do just fine xx

Hey Welshdoll,

You still in the hosp? Hope you're home now! Makes a huge difference. They will look perfectly fine :) I wouldn't worry about it.

My tightness is much better today. Maybe I'm just getting used to it, but its definitely improved! So you know you've not got that long till its over haha.

What size did you end up getting?

Hope you're feeling better xxx

Sarahkathryn, good to hear your feeling ok. Iv had a rough couple days mostly due to sickness, im now taking anti sickness tabs so feeling better. The tightness is bearable so not really in pain just bit uncomfortable so just taking paracetemol when I need to. sleeping is a chore and I really cant get the comfy upright but im sure before we know it we will be able to sleep on our sides. Hows your scars? Mine seem ok and not really bothering me which is good.
Hope all you other March ladies are doing well!

Hey Sarah,
No still here for another night! Blood still fresh in drains so PS is gonna see in the morn if its no better then I'll be having an op!! Feeling fine in myself which is so frustrating! xxx

Oh no! You reckon thats from the penicillin? I have read that the GA can have that effect too so it could be that. Sleeping is a NIGHTMARE!! I think I'm gonna have to sleep on the couch cos then at least I can lean on the side when I sit right in the corner where as in bed I'm just sat bolt upright and its so uncomfortable. My back is in so many knots!! Seriously considering going to a chiro just for some relief!

Picked up my little one today which was ok. I emailed you on [link removed] too by the way, i uploaded some of my pics on there if you wanna see.

My scars are ok, itchy mainly. Overall I'm not in much pain from the actual operation, just from sleeping upright really!! Lets hope it gets better!!


Welshdoll,

Its weird, I didn't get any drains! I wonder how they decide on whether you have them or not? I hope it all runs clear for you soon so you can go home!! You got it done on the NHS didn't you? Congrats on that! Ive heard its very difficult to get that done. Keep me updated on your progress! xx

Hope you got on ok today Nikki xxx

Yeah nikkinoo... hope today was ok. Let us know how your doing? x

Nikki - hope you got on ok today? Let us know?

Newboobz - all the best for tomorrow. :)

Hi Nikki, how was everything?
Newboobz, all the best for tomorrow :-) x
