Hi Ladies!

Just some backround info first...I had my BA on tuesday 2nd Sept with Dr.Khan at the heath hosptial. I was a small 34b and had 380cc HP overs, wearing a 34D bra at the mo and hoping to be a nice full C cup. Anyway this is something i have wanted for as long as i can remember but right now i am wishing i had never ever had it done. My boobs feel soooo tight (i haven't had any children) and it feels like the implants could burst out at any second. They really do feel uncomfortable and at times really painful. Tell me this is normal? I'm just so worried that at any even moment my stitches will burst open(they really do feel that tight). I know that sounds awful but thats honestly how they feel! Plus i can't seem to eat much because i keep feeling sick so that doesn't help either. My boyfriend & my mum are being great but i feel bad moaning to them as they weren't totally keen on me having this done in the first place. I know this is all my own doing but i'd really like some advice & reassurance from you lovely ladies! Thanks sooo much in advance xxx ellie xxx

i had my ba done on monday 1st sept and i feel exactly the same! on the monday and the tuesday i was so sick and then i stopped taking the codiene that the hosp gave me and i'v been much better mine aren't so much painful just slight discomfort and every day they are getting better, you will start to feel better soon hun and then think of the amazing boobs that your gonna end up with xx

Thanks for your reassurance! I've stopped the stronger pain killers now and will just stick to normal paracetamol i think. Hope i start feeling better like you! Thanks again. P.s Ur new boobs look fab! xxx

that's what i'm doing just paracetamol and i'v been ok, i am so pleased with my result, take care hope you feel better soon xx

hi, just to let you know i am 12 days post op and i felt exactly the same. i am only just starting to feel a bit better. i had 365 hp overs and i went from a 36b to a 36d so i think you will end up bigger than a c. i was told i would be a full d cup when they settle. i felt very sick too and stopped the codine. it could also be the ga coming out of your system. im back to work tomorrow so it will be my first day driving. could do with another couple of days off but bills have to be paid!!! they do feel better each day that goes by honest. just rest and don't do anything cos although there will be days you feel you can do things, its really not worth it. let me know if there is anything else i can help you with as its still fresh in my mind. happy healing, im sure it will be worth it. sherrie xx

Thanks so much for the reply. Sounds how i am feeling is normal then? I'm glad ur starting to feel better tho, i've got 2 weeks off work so just going to take it easy like you said. I guess i kind of under estimated how rotten you can feel after something like this but ur reassurance has def made me feel better. Who was ur surgeon? I had Dr.Khan and have all this taping round my boobs(which is prob making them feel even tighter) but have been told i can't take it off til my 10 day post op check Thanks again xxx

I'm 17 days post-op and can re-assure you that it does get better

I also had Mr Khan at the Heath so know what that horrible strapping feels like!

If it's driving you mad, ring your clinic nurse and ask if you can take it off any sooner than your 10 day post op check. I did and was told I could take the strapping off 5 days post-op. You will feel better when it's off.

What you're feeling, i.e. you feel like your boobs are going to burst, is normal hun. It's horrible but it does pass.

Hope you feel better soon hun,

I had mine done with thg and mr degado. i had a 5 day post op check and they took my strapping off which was alot easier cos it was sooo tight. Every surgeon is different cos when i went for breakfast the following morning of my op and some did,nt have strapping on at all. Trouble is i don't know how you will stand if anything goes wrong and you did'nt follow the rules. Give them a ring if i were you.... sherrie xxx
