Help!! 5 days post op!

I had my breast enlargements on Wednesday 17th 450’s, they are under the muscle so I have the strapping on, just wondering did anyone else’s belly and sides swell up, I feel about 6 months pregnant done bruising has started to show just above my hips, just wondering did this happen to anyone else and if it did how long does it take to go down? X

Hi Sarah, my tummy was certainly bloated, my op was Monday and I believe it’s a side effect of the GA. try to drink lots of water to flush it from your system. My tummy is still bloated now although lack of exercise and too much bread isn’t helping ?
As for the bruising I’m not sure as I didn’t get any however my abs really hurt as I was using my tummy muscles to get up out of bed instead of my arms. Could it be that and maybe you bruise easily ? X

90% of peoples stories I read say they are really bloated, so I think its a normal after effect of the GA and also some of the medication can leave you constipated which can cause bloating.

I’ve also read about the bruising travelling down your body!

i was so so bloated after my op and didn’t get back to normal until about 12 days po! The nurse advised me to drink peppermint tea and also I took senakot to help the process! Hope it gets better for you soon xx

Thanks lady’s for your answers, made me feel better!
How is everyone finding sleeping sitting up! I’m am really struggling, how long do we have to sleep sitting for? Xx
