HRH Surgery (Now DONE!) Pics included

[matthew1]

Hi guys

Just to let you know - I am booked in for surgery in the UK tomorrow. I will release details of where and when when I return Gotta go pack my bag!

Oh yeah, Gyne "before pics" below



Normal "warm" (poolside stylee! !!)



Side view Normal


And "pinched/cold" - but still not looking too great!!



What u reckon guys?

my condition is similar to yours,  if I stimulated the nipple area [ cold air, water etc]  nipple retracts for a bit almost seems normal, then  later they expand back out, anyone run into that?

yeah matt thats exactly how it was for me!

So far not too much swelling - a little bruising - hurts to wash my hair/reach up etc but thats just the bruising, and fortunately my girly has been really helpful.  I've noticed some itching sensations near the nipples and a few other itchy areas.  I guess this is normal and I imagine is a good sign that I still have good nerves in those areas and they are all repairing.

Turning - it was free through the armed forces. Not sure how it works through the NHS.  The forms I filled out were all NHS forms but the team that operated on me were Military, which I preferred. I have an element of trust in the higher ranks of the Army than those of the NHS, given previous stories I've seen 

BNM - Cheers dude, don't worry I think I'll be just as excited to show off my chest pics will be up as soon as I can!

Well, a couple more days have passed so thought i'd let you know how I am getting on.

Had a shower for the first time yesterday and my god it was a releif - although I was told to keep it on at all times I decided to quickly remove the big bandage, leaving the tape, stitches and plasters in place and hop in.  Nothing came unstuck and I was also able to see the full extent of the bruising.

My left side of the chest is quite yellow and my right not so bad, and a small amount of fluid has built up near my left armpit, though it's not that big.  I couldnt resist peeling back the plasters to take a quick look at my nipples, and am pleased with the result. cant really see the size change yet as they're covered in butterfly stitches but i'll let you know! I had a gentle press on them and didnt feel any lumpy glandular bits so thats great, and i dont think they'll be sticking out much.

Ate a fair amount of food today so starting to get a little panicky as to my lack of excersise (i usually run for 30mins a day)  Gonna take the dog for a brisk walk tomorrow to burn off some of the calories!

Bandages officially off for good on Thursday, and i'll throw some pictures your way when I get back from Haslar.  For now i've refitted the main one and got the compression vest on

Watch This Space!

Okay I'm off to the Plastics dept. tomorrow to have a check up and bandage remove/redress etc.

Here are some post op pics from yesterday evening and today
