    Hey Kay
    Hey Kay, I am having my exchange surgery on Oct 13. Are you having everything done at once. I thought it would be separate surgeries, but my plastic surgeon is doing, exchange, nippples and tattooing. I hope he knows what he is doing, I trust him. Hopefully we will be side sleepers soon.
    Janie are you doing everything at once?

    Hi, Kay!! It is good to see
    Hi, Kay!! It is good to see you posting and good news on your exchange surgery, too. I am not a fan of these expanders either. I don't have my appointment to discuss surgery until 10/26, so I have some time to go. One day at a time. Good luck to you and please let us know how it goes. Take care.

    Good luck Kay
    I thought you were already done, when I saw that fabulous
    photo of your tatas.

    YEAAAY soon you'll have no more rocks in your chest.

    I wish you a speedy recovery.

    EXCHANGE SURGERY
    YOU MIGHT ALREADY KNOW THIS, BUT---AFTER MY SURGERIES, I FOUND IT MUCH MORE CONVIENENT TO USE KOTEX OR THE LIGHT DAY PADS IN MY BRAS INSTEAD OF THE PADDING THE HOSPITAL SENDS YOU HOME WITH.....ALSO BOUGHT A FRONT HOOK BRA TO REPLACE THE ONE THAT THEY SEND YOU HOME IN...MY PS SAID TO WEAR ONE 24/7--SO ITS A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE AN EXTRA ONE OR TWO AROUND FOR WHEN WHEN YOU NEED TO LAUNDER ONE...
