Thank you everyone for your responses and encouragement. I have joined the Reclaim your Curves FB page and have been overwhelmed by the stories of the ladies there. I have acted on recommendations and have an appointment with Dr Clarke at Mosman next week. My problem is not so much the waiting but the feeling that my surgeon is reluctant to carry out the complex procedure and keeps pushing for me to have an implant. I really do not feel he has my best interest at heart. Thank you for sharing your experiences and I wish you all the very best.
