Having a double mastectomy soon for preventive reasons, having reconstruction surgery at the same time, worried about the expanders they will be putting in, not sure if that is what I want, I have heard good and bad things about it and then I have heard good things about people having their skin and fat used from stomach etc, has anyone use this type of surgery for reconstruction ? Please e-mail me at boydk4478@aol.com.
Thank you,
Cathy
