Appointment with PS

Well there I was feeling so excited - expanders were all full and I had my appointment with the plastic surgeon to discuss next steps .. I.e exchange surgery . I figured it would be a simple 15 min appointment and my hubby didn't need to do a two hour round trip to meet me there so I convinced him to stay home and I went on my way home from work... Well little did I know of his plan to "over expand me" to allow plenty of room for implants.. So here I am another 70 mil on each side.. 620 in total .. Feeling like Dolly Parton - and back to needing assistance with dressing and putting on deodorant and all the things I had been doing.. Feels like one step forward two steps back.. So frustrating!!!! Still exchange should happen in November and I can't wait - I just hope that it settles over the weekend and I feel a bit more normal again!!!

    Chorsell, was that discussed previously? I assume not. I have been doing rounds for CS and non have discussed that..none have discussed I will need help either let alone basic self assistance. Expanders were supposed to be the quick and easy option. Now I'm worried..I better start research. I hope you feel better and that you don't end up like Dolly Parton, poor you, I'm sure you will end up looking fab in the end and it will all be worth it xx susan
