    I was told by nurse and surgeon I only need 7 days off work, I work in office too, I’m having partials so not as invasive as having uplift or unders I think

    Depends on your car as well, automatic car you’ll find easier about a week no driving, manual car 2 weeks. Xx

    @hannahlaura yours look amazing! my car is manual! I do have a few days left but should be around 1 week..

    all worth it! As I cant wait to get it done..

    I could go by public transport but can take up to 2h to get home. Not to speak about the risk of someone bumping into me!

    @leebee when your op if you dont mind me asking? Do you drive?

    Girls, How long can it take between the first consultation to the op?

    What Dr would you recommend?

    @ba2018 thanks Hun :). Also you’re really tired for the first week or so, you really won’t want to drive for that long.

    Do you work weekends? If not the best thing you could do would be what I did. I chose a Friday date. Then I had 9 full days off before having to think of work.

    I actually found the train ride more comfortable than a car when I was early on! Weird I know, but speed bumps were awful. Xx

    @hannahlaura i dont work om weekends and that might be a good idea. As per the train.. the time i waste is way too long..

    I guess ill just take unpaid leave.. so there are no regrets after!

    Im so excited.. cant wait!

    Thing to remember with driving isn’t just changing gear it’s hash break or emergency stop, pressure from the seat belt on your new boobs could cause pain n possible complications to internal stitches etc,I drove short distances after 10days an automatic I could of drove sooner as I felt fine but my nurse had advised me on the breaking xx
