Hi Boobalicious

While I haven’t an answer for you I noticed that you haven’t had any replies yet. This reply should put you to the top of the discussion.

Thank you Daisy53 x 

Hi Boobalicious - hope you’re still recovering well. No particular advice as such but I’m now almost 5 weeks post mx and diep reconstruction. Each day I was surprised at how much more I could do even in terms of the physio exercises and am now fully upright :) walking further and even had a bike ride today. I do consider myself lucky the tummy scar has healed really well and despite some issues with boob healing I’m getting there slowly but surely. Pain is very manageable and haven’t had to have many killers at all. The stretching feeling has now significantly subsided too. I’m still tired and sleeping isn’t perfect but a lot better now! Take care of yourself and know you’ll get there one day at a time xxx

Ahh thank you, it’s reassuring to know how I’m feeling is similar. My stomach is so itchy but have been told to wait 3 weeks before using bi-oil!! 
I feel the same my stomach is healing quicker than my boob. I can now sit up using my stomach muscles without support

you too xx
