Hello! 

Posted so much out here about trying to get FG (could not get insurance to approve) thought I would update on scheduled surgery for Feb 24!

Pre-Op went really well, I am very comfortable with PS and he does all reconstruction work.  I have checked him out with my other doctors and he is highly recommended so I feel good about that.  Plus, his bed side manner is perfect for me!  He is very patient, answers all my questions, very confident.

In my dreams, I was hoping to be in the 300cc range but he thinks my rad side won't hold that.  He is going to put an expander in and promised to use the largest Allergan Silicone implant he could (will be under the muscle).  The lift will be to even out the asymmetry (obviously) and he said I will wear the band for 3 weeks. 

He is thinking 100cc goal on the healthy breast but depends on how large he can go on rad side - he will try to go a little larger - my goal was not to have large breasts, just get them positioned correctly and not malformed!!!!!  I told him I was worried about the lift being too high and he said he would never do that so PHEW!

However I come out, it will certainly look better and I will feel more normal so I am excited about this next step!

Just wanted to share!  Hope everyone is doing well.
