I'm only ever on here on my iPad and until the latest OS update I couldn't upload a photo! It really wasn't that long ago that I too was bald all over...
The reason why my PS recommended the TRAM to me was because I didn't want to go "big" and due to the width of implants I would have needed I would have ended up at least a D... But I've come out of this surgery a D anyway...
Will just have to be patient and see if I change my mind and love them or still want smaller. My PS secretary phoned this am and changed my appt from March to February so this all may happen a little faster :-)
Good luck with your appt. I think you need quite a bit of tummy if you want both breasts done. At a size 16-18 I had no problem with providing enough tummy.
I used to be a size 10-12 a few years ago but working full-time while studying part-time for a degree meant an end to my fitness regimen and the weight piled on. At my smaller size there would have been no way I would have had enough fat for the reconstruction.
I gather one of the surgeons here in Sydney, based at Macquarie private might now be doing GAP or hip flaps (using your butt, thighs or hip fat). Not sure if you've asked anyone about that - or you would have enough fat in any of those places :-)
