Thanks Di.  Greatly appreciated. Have had a pretty horrible week so it was nice to have someone say something nice.

Take care.

Hey Tracey -- sorry for butting in on your conversation, but I saw your comment and wanted to wish you all the best for Monday.  Hope it all goes well!  :)

Hi Helen,

I am now going in on Monday.  Going to have saline.  Will let you know how it goes.

Take care.

Hi everyone

I saw my surgeon a couple of weeks ago and asked him for a saline implant.  I was ready to make my case to him if he was going to recommend a silicone one.  But he basically just said OK and that it's been three years since he last put in a saline one.

I'm having the op at the end of the month and will report back Tracey once it's all settled down.

Helen.

Nice Profile Pic there.  I'm a little bit of a fan too.

I am about to change over from my tissue expander and I am having the same thoughts.  I'm not sure which way I will go.  Part of me wasn't going to go with a reconstruction, but I am big busted (even though I had a reduction when I had the xpander put in) and I was having a lot of pain in my neck, back and shoulder.  When I went to a different surgeon (first one told me it was a waste of time with me being advanced) he told me it needed to be done as I shouldn't have to go through other pain along with anything else I might have to go through.

I am still unsure which way to go.  I think I prefer the thought of saline, as after all I am really only after the bump and some weight so that the other pains go.

Good luck with your choice.

I don't have any implant advice, I just wanted to admire your Starfleet Command user pic!  :)
