hi
had my ba done on sunday with transform. did not think i would be feeling this rough. not in pain, but really uncomfortable. i cant sleep coz finding it hard laying on my back. the bra is sitting right on my one of the scars which is quite painful. i feel sick and constapated.

my boobs look like rockets at the moment. any one else feel like i do, and if so, how long am i going to feel like this?

Hi,
i had my BA done last Thursday, so it is 5 days ago i had mine done. i can't sleep neither. trying to sit upight, but having no luck. i had overs so just got a bra on with sterile strips over the incisions. and my bra is resting right on them, and it hurts when i move. i am having my first check up on Friday, to have the strips removed and cleaned up. hope i don't have an infection, i am so worried about that.
My boobs are completely numb too. starting to feel a little better. but still uncomfortable. x x

With Transform too, Mine look like rockets too, my nipples look huge, done know how im gonna hide those babies cant wait for them to settle and look normal lol...
Ive got to say i feel great though no problems yet just tender(touch wood) x

Hi,
I felt the same....each day gets a little better now 2 weeks post op and feeling tuns better.
Re the scars, I put a little strip of gauze or lint along the scars just to stop any rubbing although just been reading if you have unders you don't need to wear the bra as long. I will though, it was recommended 6 weeks day and night. It will all be worth it.

I felt exactly the same chux, dont worry it does subside and get better. I felt like my boobs were hard and stuck out like rockets, also didnt go to the 'loo' for whole week! The inflammatory tablets is what made me feel so sickly so i stopped taking them as i asked the nurses and they said i didnt have to take them if they made me so ill.

As for your bra sitting on your scar doesnt sound like your surgeon made the incision quite far enough away from the crease chux, just be extra careful with that coz the rubbing could cause infections.

Hi

Had mine on the 2nd - they also look like a pair of rockets so dont worry - I think it's the norm (well I hope so). I have heard they settle once the swelling subsides.

Yeh mine arent too sore, but quite uncomfortable at night... does anyone know if sleeping tabletsd are safe with antibiotics??
