Hi all...

I went to the doctor yesterday for an "exapansion"....not wanting to expand anymore actually, but he wants one more...I am already 50ml larger than the implant that they are going to replace the exander with. Can you say OUCH!... I used to be so excited to get the fill up...but now...not so much.

I only got a little of a fill up because it is like filling a water baloon and you know when you know it is full but you think just a little more...and you are hoping it doesn't break? Yea..thats me right now.

I talked to my surgeon yesterday and during surgery he attached an alloderm graft inside my chest it goes from 2 o'clock to 7 o'clock. I was wondering why my ribs below my boobie were hurting so bad...well he attached the graft to my stomach muscles right below my boobie with a running stitch (hundreds of them) about a centimeter apart all the way up. This skin was donated by a cadaver...so I have someone elses skin inside of me....good point though they wash all of the cells out of the skin before they implant them.

I asked my surgeon how in the heck did he do that? I only had an incision that is about 2 inches long and on the side of my boobie, how did he get all the way down to my stomach muscles inside to attach this graft with a running stitch even? He just smiled and said...no one has ever asked me that before, and he appreciated that i took the time to and that I appreciated his work! Of course I appreciate his work...he is an artist and still has more work to do... He was all happy and proud! Amazing actually! Well next week one more fill up...then a month or two and I have surgery to put in the silacone implant! Yea!

He says that is a day surgery, so I will be in and out and asking for fries with that! (Drive Through)

Thanks for listening,

Stacy
