I hope it goes great, you heal fast and are happy with your new boobs!

And this might sound odd coming from a younger guy. I work for an oxygen and respiratory company. I've seen many older women who have had a mastectomy. Their confidence and feeling of self worth just isn't what it is for those that have had reconstruction. The few that I've known that have had reconstruction have totally changed their outlook, drive and overall happiness. One of the ladies wore v neck shirts again and she became a HUGE cougar! She showed me her girls just she was so excited. Not necessarily what I wanted to see but unfortunately I've seen more groovy grannies and gravity grandpas in the past 12 years than I ever wanted. No offense! So yes, let's hear it for the girls! I fully "support" your decision!

@@proudgrammy Best wishes for a successful surgery and beautiful girls as the outcome!!! My friend went through reconstructive surgery as well - and also developed a few complications along the way (required additional surgeries) but in the long run - she's got great tatas!! Take care of yourself and let us know how you are doing!!!

@@proudgrammy - I wish you the best. You are blessing to many here on this site. hair, clothes and boobs...that's how both sexes seem to initially see a woman (I'm not endorsing it, that just seems like a reality). You deserve to be happy with you appearance. Kathy, I hope you are exceptionally pleased with your results. I have two female friends who were were reconstructed, and they are thrilled and feel like their old selves again. I hope it goes great for you.
