I was up and around that afternoon and in the shower the following day..I was given the mobile blood clot prevention kit for my legs but ended up not needing to where them since I had no issues preventing me from getting up and walking and doing what I needed to do. The more your able to get up and walk the easier it will be for your blood flow and circulation helping everything move..my drains came out 1 week and 2 days after my surgery which was a double mastectomy as well and after 3-4 wks I no longer wore the binder. As you hear and see how different we all are only you will know your limitations and what your body is able to handle. Don't push yourself beyond your limits and rest when your body needs it and move around when your able and ask for help with anything having weight . Good luck and day 1 is always the worst and will get better and easier with every new day!
