Anybody got anything excting to report like extreme itching,, or anything besides?

[chestrockwell]

Hey guys the gauzes under the arms are pi**ing me off, they are coming off along the back edge, would i be able to trake em off now?, the incisions look as tho they have dried up and bonded pretty good, by the way my incisions are only about 12mm long (pretty small i think).

It sometimes feel as tho my chest isnt touching the bandages as much, also the bandages are right under my armpits pressing against the incisions so im walking around the house like a damn scarecrow because its becoming sore, i cant wait to remove them just to feel more comfortable. :-/

stonecold yes those gauze bandages that were placed over where the drains wer taken out.seperate from the chest bandage.i think thats wat pissing you off too chestrockwell.
its 330 am i woke up at 130 cos extreme itching under chest bandage.i think also cos  i shaved my chest all over and its irritating too as i have a lot of hair to grow back.this chest bandage is gona hurt wen i take it off i just know it.however i have no bruising underneath and it all looks good from wat i can see-which aint much.
i have noticed im my nipples are really sensitive to cold now tho.anyone else?

Try soaking yourself in a bath first for a while when taking the bandages off.  Mine started coming away on its own during the week i had it on.  Im not a hairy person and to be honest mine came off fairly easy compared to some other guys.  Just take time when taking them off, even if it takes a couple of hours.

also how long till we can sleep on our fronts?

I was 2-3 weeks before i could sleep on my side.

anybody washed their hair yet? if so how. I usually wash mine daily and havent since wednesday. Any ideas how i could do it without getting my bandgaes wet or ending up in pain

thanks

i aint even washed let alone wash my hair!im too afraid of jeopardising the results just cos i couldnt be still for a week.altho i am contemplating taking the bandages off in 6 days not 7 cos i cant wait to see wats goin on under neath em!

[chestrockwell]

All i have done in the washing department is had a wipe around with a sterile wipe, but im not botherd about my hair...my head itches a little but i can scratch it.

My bandages have become  loose/stretched along the bottom edge...and if i hold a little mirror underneath and push my shoulders forward and look down i can see my new nipples , there doesnt seem to be any bruising either.

Chris :
Is your movement really restricted? I will be having mine just before xmas , guess i wont be dancing about like a loon. Did they say anthing about alcohol intake during your recovery ?
How long before you can take the bandages off ? and how long before you can shower  ?

geg100: One way of washing your is to simply to go to the hair dresses and ask them ,or get a friend to do it. Just tell them you have torn your chest muscle at the gym .

[orrible]

i thought about hairdressers but they slap something round ur neck to prevent water and that rests on ur chest so its probably not a good idea. Guess ill wait it out then but im really starting to get fed up with being unclean.

btw when did Dr Levick tell you guys to remove your bandages?

[geg100]

7 days time remove them.but my dad tells his patients to only wear them fr 2-3 days but he does stitches inside the chest to allow for adhesion so gona stick it out for the whole 7 days.

Geg your dad does gyno operations?

[geg100]

yes but he does the traditional bilat areola excision which i didnt want, due to scar tissue and me having dark asian skin.
