    @jop thank you honey! My recovery has been quick! First couple of days you can’t sit up as it really hurts and you have to shuffle your bum to move your body because using your arms hurt! Haha. Lasted about three days then after that I started to feel okay. I did the full course of antibiotics and took pain killers (paracetamol and ibropurfen) for about 4 days then stopped because I didn’t need them. 7th day I got my strapping off which was a relief as it started to feel really tight. I had strips over my scars for 4 days, so they have come off now which means I can finally have a shower!!! I’ve been having short baths since and it’s such a pain. Honestly though from ready other girls posts about there recovery, I’m shocked at how quickly I have healed. I suppose everyone is different though! When is your surgery? Bet you cannot wait! Xxx
