June Buddies!

Kayla, thank you so much for the site info "Breast Implant Info by Nicole". Very useful. Now I wonder even more. The results are so different. Guess I would have to find someone of exact same proportions to get a good idea?!. How are you feeling now? Being sick from med's at all? That is my big worry, being sick. Well I guess everything is a worry now. Only 9 days to go. Having unders & surgeon said no bra for 6 weeks. Has anyone had the same advice?
Thanks girls & good luck with yours

I've had the same advice re the no bra for 6 weeks, looking forward to it except when i am at work!!!!! ha ha ha

Re looking at result iv seen photos from 2 girls with almost same proportons as mee almost same sizes and they both looked completely different ha ha ha

I am in 2 days before you eek

Hi June buddies

Well got back from having my BA .Had op yesterday afternoon and not feeeling too bad at all.
No real pain at the moment but just stiffness and tightness especially through last night so i am expecting the same tonight.

Really struggling with bras though too they too uncomfy and feel like they are rubbing bigger size feels like it is not supporting.

Currently wearing a 36 e so i might get 38 dd see if that is better.
All in all really pleased with my new boobies and looking forwars to the settling already.

Hi June Buddies

I went out today first time since the op and dispite worrying that everyone was going to bump into my new assets made it home in one piece and i even got my nails done so not feeling too bad theres a little tightness under the boobs and my right side hurts more than the left one but on the whole i feel ok today i'm a little tired as still sitting up when sleeping but my OH has been a bit more supportive today finishing work early and picking the kids up from nursery and school.
So How is everyone feeling today?

Hurrah glad youre feeling okay, When did you have your op Chelsea?

my tightness is still bad, and breathing seems a chore still,
im still waiting for it all to get better, doesnt seem any improvement from day one yet,

I had my op on the 3rd which was Thursday so i'm 5 days recovering and feeling quite good hardly no bruising been taking arnica so think it works took it a week before and been taking it since. only took co drydamol for 2 days and since then just taking paracetamol and diclofenic and drinking lots of water also i don't smoke so hopefully i'm healing well. Whens ur op booked for Janey?

The 15th
I have got arnica also been advised to start on it 3 days before, everyone keeps saying unders really hurt so scared, but gonna make sure i dont miss any painkillers and hopefully will be okay, my nurse told me at pre op that a lot of it is down to PMA so gonna try that (not sure about it though ha ha)
I dont smoke either but bit worried about blood clots due to my family history so need to be mobile straight afterwards

My boyfriend will be looking after me :)
but any tips for things ill need post op? have heard ice bags, extra pillows

J x x

Yes definately i'd suggest extra pillows and i bought a v shaped one from argos thats been great the only thing really i'd suggest is try not to do too much but still walk about the house and keep the blood circulating i have done anything special really just slept sitting upright is meant to help lots and i know the first day after the op when i sat up they really hurt but its just morning boobs blood rushing from them it gets better. Good luck with ur op are u day case or staying over night? xx

Im a day case Chelsea -that is much better for me as hate hospitals and will be desperate to get home, get in front of TV and brews on tap courtesey of other half ha ha ha
gonna go on argos website now and check out the v shaped pillow thanx :)

Bumblelady - hope your feeling better soon

i havent got on with my v shaped pillow, its huuuge and bean filled so is a little awkward,
i fell asleep on sofa earlier cuddled up to hubby i must of lent in when i was asleep and i woke with a horrible pain in one boob,
i wonder when the breathing gets easier, its horrible not being able to take a really deep breath

awwhh Bumblelady I really feel for you that pain must be awfull, i am sure you will start to feel better soon day by day or hour by hour.Mine seem to be changing and the pain shifting all the time. At the moment I feel like my implants wanna burst out near my collar bones othe times its under my armpits although gotta admit its nothing that cant be controlled with pain relief.

I wanted to stay in the abbey riveside hospital wish i'd done over night just for a bit of peace and quiet it was like a hotel room lcd tv on wall and own bathroom it was lovely my friend and partner even saw someone famous coming in just after me.
I'm only a little sore now so feelng happy happy happy can't wait to see what my boobs will finally look like.

Ta Janeybird, too soon for me to be asking to look at other girl's pic's. I hear what you are saying about work. I too ain't looking forward to that. I have not told anyone. My hubby knows, best friend and my in-laws. No one at work nor my parents have a slightest. [justify]

Morning .Hope you all managed to get a decent sleep last night.
Woke up with my righty feeling abit softer and more comfy but theres alot of swelling near my armpit and more bruising on the other is this normal.

Happy healing x

i have noticed bruising now, i woke up twice last night not to bad,
mine still solid as a rock, i wish they would give a bit,
its strange actually feeling a boob by your armpit lol

I went back to sleeping on my back last night after my surgeon chastised me for sleeping on my back... mostly because of my ears than my boobs. I have to say I don't have much swelling, the little I do have is under my armpits, I hope I don't get stretchmarks here

The itchiness is mad though, its so itchy yet it hurts to itch grrrrr

oOo hadnt thought of itching I am NOT good with being itchy ha ha ha cant STAND it

Ellie,

Just seen on calendar not only are you 2 days after me and unders but also SAME SURGEON he he

J x x

i hate not being able to itch my back, cant wait to get some more movement back in my arms,

Think I must be getting some sensation back as they are tingling abit today still really numb but satrting to feel abit like they belong to me now.Wanted my mum to wash hair but realised I couldnt lean over the bath. Going to hairdressers tomorrow yippee clean hair.

Awwww i'm feeling for u girls i'm feeling ok today only got abit of pain under the boobs and a huge bruise on my hand. The clinic nurse called me today to see how i'm doing thought that was nice wasn't expecting it going in on tuesday to have the dressings take off looking forward to that as the itching is annoying.

Hope you all start to feel better soon. xx

Had my dressings off today and my disolvable stitches snipped. All pain free and felt great to get them off, even though I had tiny dressings on. I have bits of micropore on now and a spare roll to replace that with if and only if it falls off - no pulling or 'helping' it come off!!
I can't wait for my big kids to get back from school and look after my youngest for a bit so I can go for a shower!!

I also took a 34dd zip front sports bra back on the way home and tried on a 34E and 32F which were way too small. I tried on a 34G thinking that it would be too big ( the 32 band still won't go around me and they didn't have a 34FF in stock) and the 34G from M&S fitted!! Though prob not as tight as a sports bra should as I also tried on a 34E, F and FF normal underwire for literally 10 seconds each and the band was a bit loose but the F fitted really well.

I can't get over the fact that at this stage I have F cup boobs - they certainly don't look that big in clothes ( granted they look rather large in underwear!! But that's great, no-one will notice apart from me and hubby and that suits me just fine.

So all you pre-oppers, I would say if you want a DD then you need to prob get augmented to an e or F as mine look to me a DD. I told my surgeon a DD and possibly an E and think after fluffing I will be an FF and they are just perfect, a real dd would have been too small.

Sorry for the ramble, I am really excited. Having bobs is even BETTER than I imagined!!


Janeybird - as long as you keep ahead of the pain by taking your painkillers on time and making sure you have strong enough painkillers prescribed to you, I think total agony is quite rare with unders. You will know though when you try and do too much too soon!!

Bumblelady - the feeling of being unable to breathe deeply is pain related. I think you need stronger pain releif and then I think the feeling will go away. I got the exact feeling you describe after my caesareans but wasn't allowed stronger pain releif than co-codamol and diclofenac as I was breastfeeding. I would try tramadol if yu can get a Dr to write you a prescription for it even though it makes you drowsy, you will find the more well you feel the less drowsy it makes you i.e it knocked me out at 1 and 2 days post op but just makes me a bit woozy now, a whole bottle of wine initially or half a glass now!!

Gentle hugs to all of you xx

Aw thanx Kayla,
Nice to see youre all happy and excited :)
