Expanding the expanders
Just a quick note...because there really isn't a lot to say about this part of the process. Which is a good thing! It sounds scarier than it is. Brenna uses this little instrument (she said Dr. Gawley calls it a stud finder) ha ha ha.... to find the port in the expander. She marked the spot. Then there is a tiny stick into that port...I did not even feel it on the right...and just a tad on the left. So, NOT BAD AT ALL!!!! Brenna added 50 cc's to each side. I did find out today that while I was in surgery, 200 cc's were added initially. So, that's why I did have "bumps" when I came out of anesthesia :) This process will happen around every two weeks or so. The final size will partly be determined by how much my skin will stretch, and I guess I'll say what I want and Dr. Gawley will say what HE wants :) I did tell Brenna that I did NOT want to be as big as I was....which was a D CUP. Way too much for my height of 5'1". She said that wouldn't be a problem. Time will tell what I end up with :)

Sounds like things are moving along in the process! Finally. So how long do they fill the expanders before you go in for a 2nd operation?
