    Wow, it really does whizz by doesn’t it!! I was allowed to wear bras, bathe and go to the gym at my 8 week check 🙂 Also the reassurance that the boobs are doing well and the incisions, as I had a small incision worry when a stitch was playing silly buggers. Also got to see the photos before and after that he took, so happy xxx

    I’ve got my 6 week check next Thursday, I actually thought it was this Thursday. I need to see the nurse as one of my incisions is sore and open at one end with a stitch poking out! I’ve kept a steri strip over it but I don’t know if that’s the right thing to do. Fed up of wearing a sports bra, and often undo it at night in bed coz it’s not nice to wear one all the time is it? Whatever you get told I hope you’re happy with it 🙂 xx

    @Sue I had the same thing with my incision as it kept opening because of a stitch and was a little bit yucky. I disinfected it and trimmed the stitch then covered it sith a steristrip, then i phoned mya nurse who said thats what she would have done too. My own nurse popped an iodine strip and a waterproof dressing on it as I thought it was infected. It sorted itself out and the surgeon was happy when he saw it at my check with him xx

    I did trim the stitch back, and when I shower I spray antiseptic on it then cover it back up. I’ve run out of steri strips now and I found them difficult to source. I work in a hospital and our own pharmacy didn’t stock them! As long as it’s ok and heals eventually I’ll be happy. xx

    Oh god I’m dreading seeing the before pics! I may even get quite emotional haha bet its soo strange to see because after 6 weeks, it really does feel like they’ve always been there doesn’t it! Do you now wear proper bras all the time @misfion I’m quite scared of damaging the implants! Although I really can’t wait to put on a sexy bra and give them a bit of oomph haha!
    Aw thanks very much sue hope your ok too. They’re little blighters sometimes aren’t they the stitches. How has everything else been for u? Still happy? Xxx

    Hi Rachel, yes I’m happy with my new boobies now 🙂 Like you say, it’s like you’ve had them forever!! I bet you’re so happy to be able to wear normal bras, I so hope that my nurse says that to me, as I am soooo fed up of the sports bra and the restrictions in what you wear that it brings. I managed to get some more steri strips Misfion, so I’m sticking with them till I see the nurse 🙂 I’ll let you know how I get on next week xxxx

    If you have a stitch poking out could you not just go to your local drs to get it sorted?
