Well I got my kidney test back yesterday and my surgery worked. So both of my kidney's are considered within the normal range. Whhhooo for it working. My nephrologist will be monitoring me every 6 mths from now on.

Dianne~ I too loved my itty bitties but I chose to remove both because of my age (32) and how dense my tissue was. I had expanders followed by implants that failed so they replaced them with smaller ones and they failed. No one really knows why I heal at the incision site and then after 3 weeks I open back up. There is no infection or anything "wrong" it's almost like my body was rejecting something inside of me. So now I need to heal in order to try another form of reconstruction.
