Hi folks,
I'm back and more of a woman than ever!! Thank you all for your wonderful support. It was great to know you were all just a click away.
The Operation went well. I was given an inflatable implant and back flap. No pain at all, just a bit of discomfort where the port for injecting the saline into, has been put. I decided to take step by step pics from now till all is finished just in case anyone in the future is wanting to know what it looks like immediately after the op, as it was a bit of a shock to me. But I have now got used to it and as there is still a ways to go before I have the finished article I am being more realistic.
The scars are very neat but as I am still very bruised it looks a bit like a melon that has been hit with a frying pan, te he. I go for my first inflating injection in 2 weeks. shan't have many as I don't want to be much bigger than what they have put there now. When it is all done and I am happy with it, I will be going in for a bit or corrective surgery on the other one, (a little face lift)! So I should have a matching pair for Christmas.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in the hospital. No im not a sad so and so. I was in a military hospital. The staff were fantastic, the morale between them was first class. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was 1st class. But the icing on the cake was being visited every morning by a bunch of uniforms, enough to brighten any girls day.

Well, that title's certainly got the night-prowling male surfers in, Debbie! The association of military hospital and inflatable boobs seems really surreal - just up your street. Talk again soon 1am now and must stop tapping at keyboard next to trying-to-sleep partner. xxx Penny
Thought i was getting a sillicone implant as well, but they decided on an infaltable one because of the need to stretch my skin as it had been 3 years since my op. The shape is really good. Hated it at first, but i think that was all post op blues. Cant wait to get the other one introduced, its feeling a little low at the mo!
They tend to do whatever they think is best for your body shape, muscle tone and requirements. Well at least that is how my chap seemed to work. Totally tuned in to what I wanted. So watch this space :-)
I love your pic, your mirror image is almost as pretty as you.
Wish you all the very best and hope all the treatment goes well. It will all be behind you before you know it.
Thanks for your comments and for reading my waffle too.
I'm wondering if you can now choose the size to suit the occasion or if you have to stick to one... I guess with only one done you pretty much have to go with what you already had. My mum wondered how a surgeon would create a boob the same as the one I have left but i reassured her that no self respecting surgeon would use old socks as a template.
Re the profile pic my husband was very chuffed to able create lots of Doctor Evil and mini me photos. He was itching to go to a fancy dress party dressed in silver, luckily no events have come up so far, although guess I will still be having chemo around Halloween so here's to holding ones breath!
