Re: my reconstruction journey

Re: my reconstruction journey
I'm getting excited!! seeing my surgeon in two days to discuss exchange!! Don't know if it will be classified as semi urgent or non urgent. Its usually two or three months between the last fill and exchange surgery.
Even though this operation will be larger than the previous one, I'm still happy that I will have one full boob and a bit of a boob with expander on the left with back skin over it so it will be close to normal...
I will update you all after thursday morning

Re: my reconstruction journey
Third fill of four last week!! was finally able to take the soft form out of my right hand side!
Have been wearing one in each side in my bra since the right masectomy in October but after the third fill the expander was filled enough that I didn't need it in the bra anymore was super happy about that
Can see the light at the end of the tunnel! not sure when exchange will be but am hoping june maybe july. Made me feel heaps more confident too

Re: my reconstruction journey
Wow...you are going really well. You will be finished before you know it. Good that you aren't finding it too.painful. I found sleeping a little uncomfortable on the first night after the fill but after that not too bad.
Hope things keep going well!

Re: my reconstruction journey
hi all had my second out of 4 fills on tuesday of this week. It wasn't too bad with pain. Actually got 75mls injected this time!!
Guess the doctor thought i could handle a bit more. It definitely has more projection than after the first fill and can fill the bra cup better
