My worry over getting the bandages off was unfounded, it hurt but really it was just like getting any other sticky plaster pulled off. The nurse remarked that I must have a really high pain threshold because most people complain and cry getting the bandages off. She also asked about how well I went in labour and said that she used to be a midwife and that you can always tell how well people will recover from surgery based on how well they do in labour. Maybe I will consider a tummy tuck after all!
The worry over what my boobs would look like was also unfounded, they look fine- sure the skin is iridescent, but they aren't the Frankenstein boobies that I was worried about. I'm trying to get some good pictures of the red and purple bruising along with the brightest yellow skin I have ever seen.
The surgeon is really happy with the size and symmetry and thinks I will be really happy with the shape. I agree, even at this early stage they are starting to look pretty fantastic.
I have to admit that while I like the fact that the itchy bandages have gone, I do miss the extra support of them. I had an awful experience getting into the car today- I could have sworn that something inside my left breast popped and was bleeding. It was excruciating!
