Whatever the op is, just know that the surgeon will be doing the best they possibly can for you. I am really looking forward to it too, to be honest with you, but only so that I don't have to keep thinking about it and then start getting on with my life. I won't be having the tummy one as I haven't yet had kids and would LOVE  them one of these days, so my surgeon said that the back one would be better for me.

Take care and will be thinking of you next week and always.

Thanks Diane, going really well and the count down is on for you I read. I am having similar surgery, once I am well enough, but having the tram flap (I think it's called), apparantly it is a major op, but hanging to get it over and done with so I then can start living my lift again! 

Keep in touch and thanks again for everyone's well wishes

Love to you all

Hi Everyone!!! I am back on board and recovering well... AT HOME!!! Thanks Tania sooooo much for posting my message for me, I really appreciate it and hope everyone is going well on the cold, windy Monday afternoon.

My breathing is still a little sketchy and have to stop and take it easy often, and hoping I will be back to normal in no time at all. I have a great support network around me which is just fantastic.

Take care of you lovely ladies and thanks again for all the well wishes, they are coming right back at you all.

Love Laura

Thanks Shaz! 3 weeks today until reconstruction. Saw the surgeon yesterday and had an Angiogram (CT scan of abdomen) to map blood vessels. So glad your surgery went well Tania & hope you aren't too uncomfortable. Keep us posted on Laura's progress. :) Diane

Hey Diane,

My surgery went really well. I could be repeating myself, I tend to do that these days!! But I had another Mastectomy and expanders inserted. They will start filling them in about 2 weeks. I think it is about 100ml/week. Then in about 4 months, when I am happy with the size, I go back in to surgery to have them removed and implants put in.

I just made sure that my PJ's had buttons so that they can access the sites easily. I also bought alot of the Supre Tank Tops as you can step into them and pull them up. I dont like sitting around in pj's all day so wore them and either track pants or leggins with sweat jackets each day. The tank tops are easy to pull down for the nurses when they need to take a look.

Laura hasnt had her surgery yet thank goodness. It would be aweful if she was trying to recover and also be this unwell!

How did you go at the dr?

Hi all,

Laura has asked me to pop a message on here to let you all know that she is in Hospital and hasnt been able to reply to anyone. Sadly she is in intensive care with Pneumonia. She went into hospital last Monday (same day as me!!) with a very bad strain of the flu. Within a few days she was put into intensive care as she progressively got worse. She has the "Hong Kong" strain of the flu and has been real sick the poor love. She was told today that they hope she will be out of intensive care by either tomorrow or Wednesday. For those of you who dont know, Laura and I both live in Adelaide. Laura and I met about 2 months ago when her partner and her came to my place and we polished of a few bevvies and got to know each other. We have been supporting each other ever since. I had another Masetcomy and reconstruction last Monday and she is devistated that she can not be here for me!!! I keep telling her to stop worrying, but that's just the way we all roll I guess! Wanting to be there for each other.  So send all you thoughts her way. She could use them. Oh, and we have the same surgeons, both breast and plastic!!! Freaky huh! I'll keep you posted until she can get on here herself. Maybe BCNA need to look at doing an App so that we can touch base even when we are in hospital???
