Hi there everyone. Saw the plastic surgeon at the RBWH on Thursday. Dr Matthew peters. A lovely bloke. I won’t even be considered for the recon surgery for at least another 12 months. Im on the list but I’m now a catergory 3 so in qld that will mean more than that as my last referal was cat 2 and that took me nearly 2 years to get in to see him. And he has suggested a fat transplant first as my skin is quite thin (has anyone had that) apparently then the expanders around 3 months after that then for the changeover surgery at least another 12 months he said due to the wait times. So I’m in two minds now. I know I have plenty of time to make up my mind. But still not sure if I will tolerate all the wait times in between. He also suggested the TRAM but I can’t afford allowed that time off work. He said I would need at least 2 months. The implants are simpler surgery. Margie xx
