time for the ta ta's
Hello Everyone,

Tomorrow I will be getting my reconstructive surgery on way. I will be getting permenant expanders put in along with some saline. Feb. 19th marks the 1st anniv. of my bi-lat. I am currently on Herceptin q 2wks. til May, along with Femora. Just curious if anyone has had little stonelike bumps right on the scarline? I have two, that feel like the internal stitches did. Just curious if anyone else had something similar? And how will I feel coming out of this surgery? It cant be as bad as the bi-lat!!
Wishing everyone a great sweethearts day !!! big hugs to all
Pam

hate to tell u this.. but this will hurt bad.. take your pain meds.. stay ahead of the pain.
for 2 days plan on nothing.. by sat or sun you will feel better.. they will be very swollen for awhile ++ 6 months.. or more.. get tape measurements after u take the wraps off. u will likely be swollen a full cup bigger than u intended for awhile.. then suddenly , they disappear.. u and wonder .. who took my boobies...
but u will love them..
