Thanks so much Alison. 17 days! Thats fantastic. It sounds like the whole reconstruction with expander process has been pretty positive for you - this gives me lots of hope. I have never spoken to anyone who has used the air expander. I am not a facebooker unfortunately but would be keen to find out more about your experience (promise to no longer use the J word) if you were willing to share. I am having an implant put in my left breast for symmetry and then hope to expand the new right breast until its the same size as the left. What was your recovery time after that first operation? I'm taking a couple weeks off work. Where are you at with things now?
Thanks again for kindly responding to my post, it was really helpful to read your comments.
