    Missswim,

    Thanks for the reminder that men are men and love boobs. Since my posting my bf and I have had several discussions about our relationship and I think he is going to love the new girls just fine =)

    I definitely want to have immediate reconstruction as well. Even though I think it will suck to get implants and actually go smaller than a little larger. But I think I really need to lose em and wake up with at the same time , the women who wait are very very strong in my book . I don't think I could emotionally do it and I also hate the fact of more surgeries so I want it all done so I can get back to normal. I've never had so many surgeries , doc appts, needles, tests in my whole life as I have since Sept. I would love to get a my stomach fat transferred so I can still feel like it's me and not anything foreign. But that will take even more time to heel and that's my boobs and stomach , added perk of course is a tummy tuck. And I'm not concerned with scars too much that's a reason for a nother tattoo.

    I don't belong here (diagnosed at 49 and have a DH) but I came across this article that I thought I would share:

    Trina-
    I had my surgery in June and I won't have my reconstruction till January (hopefully) due to school reasons. But I still feel alienated from my boobs, these tissue expanders are still weird to feel and think about. I don't have an option to use my fat from my body (I don't have enough to use) but if I'm lucky, my PS can use some skin fat and graft from my inner upper thigh. I'm 22, and it's still weird to think about.
