A "foob" is a Fake Boob.....my reconstructed breast. It has no projection - sort of flat like a hamburger.....with a lot of fat under my arm. I shouldn't complain - I've had no healing problems with the foob at all, for which I'm so grateful (especially after all my problems with my stomach). The PS says he'll reshape it to fill out a bra in Stage 2 - but I'm getting a second opinion to make sure I'll be happy with the aesthetic outcome after all I went through!
