38 yr old 2 kids, bc with the works! SC

Dr. Baron and Dr. Craigie came HIGHly recommended by an entire group of women, whose experiences encompassed the spectrum of bc and many w implant problems that had to be corrected by Dr. Craigie. After my bi-mast and axillary (via dr baron), dr Craigie placed expanders that DONT hurt at all! If you KNOW you're doing reconstruction, they can now place the expander on TOP of the muscle, so it alleviates much of the 'discomfort' of what people refer to. This cannot be done if getting implants. I'm scared but confident in my decision and Dr. Craigie and his PA, Kim, is worth her wait in gold. Even if just consulting, she would spend an hour on the phone with me, email me sketches if I didn't understand, anything she could do she did well and happily. I am happy to be in their collective hands, I even drive 3 1/2 hours (+back) to get expanders filled each week bc I know it is pleasant, quick, not painful, and makes me feel positive! He gets a billion stars from my friends and I believe he can fix anything, but I hope to post more after the big surgery!

1 week out
Remember I'm doing natural reconstruction so my expanders are on top of my muscle...still have drains (3)...also had axillary dissection
