Dr. Visit, $150. Surgery Scheduled, $100,000. Stretching, Priceless.
Great news from Denver, it seems that doing Yoga caused the ports of the expanders to show thru my muscles and skin, but I don’t have to worry about the ports wearing thru and causing damage. That is great news.
Even better, we sat down and scheduled my next surgery date. I will be having surgery Friday, October 15th. They will take out my awful expanders and put in implants on that day. I should be able to go home that day, or at least to a hotel if I don’t feel like making the ride across the Rockies, and will need to take a few weeks off of work. But it’s exciting to be finally moving forward again.

Possible Complications, Back to Denver
Hello there!
I hope this update finds you all happy and healthy!
I had quite a surprise 2 days ago when I got undressed. I looked in the mirror and could clearly see a large circle on top of each breast. The circles look like perfectly round seams of the expanders. They don’t hurt, but my worry is that with the stitches that are making their way through my muscle and skin, I certainly don’t want to experience something this large doing the same thing! I little stitch is very different than a 3 inch ring!
