Opinions please

I can't believe I'm even considering this but consider it I am. I honestly don't think I'll really carry through with it but have been thinking about it.

As you know from reading my signature, I have had both breasts removed. I am very comfortable being "boobless" and have been from day 1. Lately however I've been thinking about it and wondering if maybe it's time or if it will ever be time.

I've been talking it over with my husband and he and I talk about the pros and cons of it. I often hear women talk about pain, having to have this surgery or that surgery because of problems and that is a HUGE turn off to me. Having the initial surgery would be plenty of surgery for me.

So, we decided that I would start a thread for those of you who have had reconstruction. How many of you had it at a later date, like I might? Can I still have the reconstruction where they take fat from my abdomin to "make" breasts?

Well, I'll be anxious to hear what those of you who can share have to say.
