I just had my exchange surgery yesterday, and I am amazed at how different this experience has been compared to the mastectomy and expanders. So far, my pain has only been a 3/4 out of 10, and it's easily controlled with Tylenol, Motrin, and the prescribed Oxy.

I haven't gotten to see the results yet, but I'll be able to take my first shower post-op on Saturday, and I am so excited to see how they look

I just wanted to write a post for anyone who's in the middle of recovering from a mastectomy with expanders to say it does get better, and you can do it.
