PS
No, not as in postscript, as in plastic surgeon. I met with a Beverly Hills PS yesterday after work. He was fairly nice, most surgeons do not have the best bedside manners, but he was ok. He suggested I get a Tram Flap which would use the flab from my stomach along with some muscle to make a new right boob. It will only make a B size boob though and I am a DD on the left so I'd have to go back at a later date and add in a small implant or have another reduction on the left side to make me approx the same size. For the major surgery I'd be in the hospital about four days and then probably out of work about 4 weeks (although somemone said they were out 6-8, I doubt I would be out that long). I may have the surgery as soon as next month. My ex-MIL already said she'd come take care of me for a few days after I get out of hospital, so that's all set. It's a fairly major surgery since it's really a tummy tuck AND boob reconstruction, I'm a little nervous but I usually heal quickly, I think it s/b ok. I also got to see pics of what the boobs look like after; not really like original boobs, but in clothes I'm sure it looks pretty good. I'll keep y'all posted.

go for the implant cos your other boob will just get bigger again so you might as well have a decent pair of knockers
Good luck Beans... may the boobs be with you!
i saw that on tv. the woman said that when a man touched her sexually on her new boob, it felt like he was tickling her stomach, which would suck. ask about that. i actually don't have any feeling in my tummy area because of some complications to my c-section, so maybe they could eliminate any tickle feelings in your boob?
good luck

LOL Jilly, I've never heard of that, I guess if it's still attached it could feel like that, weird.
I talked to my original surgeon this afternoon and he told me there's a slightly different procedure that some doctors do that he recommends. He told me about a doctor in my area who's really good, I'm going to ask my regular doctor to request a referral.
We have a friend, well, really one of Den's ex-girlfriends, who recently had a breast removed, but the surgeon went ahead and did the reconstruction using her stomach tissue. Now she says she's got the flattest tummy in town. I vote with mavis, get a decent pair, you might as well get something nice ;-)
Jeanbeanns, I had a friend who had this exact procedure done on both boobs. I was amazed at how natural they looked. It was like a regular pair of boobs with a razor thin scar in a wave across her breasts. I hope you get this done and look as great as Kathy did.
