7 weeks post surgery - bilateral skin sparing mastectomy and expanders
Hi all
This is a update on where I am at...
It's now almost 7 weeks post my bilateral skin sparing. Mastectomy and expanders.
I have had 3 fills and am at 450 mils and one more to go to get to the target of 550.
I can sort of sleep a bit on my side but I am mostly still on my back... And I am having ongoing issues with my left arm and shoulder with restricted movement.
I am driving though and work in the office 2 or 3 days a week and the rest of the tome at home...
It is nice to have " bumps" again even if they are more square than round ... The padding in the sports bra evens that out ... And my wrinkly skin is filling out...
Looking forward to exchange...
Chris xx

Hiya Chris, its great to see you are travelling along well. I have heard fills can leave some ladies uncomfortable but keep your eye on the prize of the switch.
Great to hear from you and thank for updating your progress
