The roles have switched and the post- op massage therapist is the one getting a lymphatic massage 🥰🥰
As some of you know, I underwent surgery -hysterectomy- and didn’t think I needed massages but man did I really need them.
I definitely downplayed the swelling for this surgery even though it is a major surgery😅🫣
I definitely looked 7 months pregnant for the first two weeks. And I can say…..
Man is swelling UMCOMFORTABLE 😩🙃
I was humbled real quick and the only thing that made me feel better was *drumroll please*…..
MASSAGES & COMPRESSION!!!
And if it wasn’t tight enough I blew up like a balloon and was in pain 😭😭
Even though I knew this was going to be a major surgery and change to my body, I did not expect to swell and need the same requirements as a cosmetic surgery😭😭
The other thing was the itching! It was in a small area but man is that a crazy feeling!!
I used to advocate to get massages for all kinds of surgeries with focus on cosmetic surgeries, but now I can say, If you plan on getting ANY major surgery, massages are a must!!! Not just because of the water retention but because of the comfort it brings. And how much better you feel after!!
Get 👏🏼 those 👏🏼 massages 👏🏼
