Exchange Surgery Veterans
I had my exchange surgery on October 13th. What a relief to get the expanders out. Already can tell a great deal of difference. My question for the veterans who have had implants for a while. Does it ever feel normal again -- where you can't tell something weird is in your body or will I always be able to tell?
