Boobies83 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Hi ladies, I am new to this site. I had my consult with Dr Tavakoli and was so happy with him that I booked my surgery for June. Cannot believe how soon it is. I feel really excited but really nervous too. The girls in his office advised that it is fine for me to stay in Sydney for two nights in total. Arriving in Sydney on the day of surgery and going home on day 2. I just wanted to get other people's experiences on how they felt on day 2 post op and would they be ok to travel in a car for two hours? Thanks in advance :-) Liss 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mic77 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Hi marzydoiky, Im an interstate patient travelling back to Melbourne today from Sydney (flying) It is my 2nd day PO and feel fine the only pain I have is in my back I think from sleeping at a 45 degree angle. However everyone's recovery is very different, I feel like I have had quite an easy recovery compared to some, I haven't taken any pain killers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelliebell Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Hi, I have my Ba booked in with Dr Tavakoli as well on the 25th, flying in on this friday and flying out 5 days post op, that said i had to stay until friday because i will get my drains removed on Wednesday and then have a post op consult on friday the 29th and then from there i can fly out and do all other post op consults via skype, I'm surprised they are letting you leave so early.. I'm travelling from Melb to Syd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm travelling from Melb to Syd Hi Nelliebell I was advised that because it is only a 2.5 hour drive home I am fine to go home on day 2 then come back to Sydney for my 2 week check up. So surgery on the Wednesday, drains out the next day, then drive home on the Friday. I think if I was flying home it would need to stay in Sydney longer.

Cupcake85 Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Bring a pillow for underneath your boobs to try to help with any bouncing if you go over any bumps. Wish I knew that trick before my surgeries but I now know and will be doing this for my revision. Boobies83 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
