Hello everyone! Just a quick update tonight. I am scheduled for surgery on October 16th. This will take place at the Mckay surgical center in Ogden. I am very excited to get my expanders and port removed, and become a real "fake" girl! This surgery is an outpatient procedure which means that I get to go home the same day! The plan is also for me to return to work within a week- with a few restrictions of course! The most exciting part is that I will have ZERO drain tubes!! Happy day! This relatively simple surgery represents much more than a few hours in the operating room. It is truly the culmination of a journey of faith and overwhelming love and support. The reconstruction also means that I am a healthy and cancer free Me!! As always, a huge thanks to all of you. I consider myself the luckiest girl on the planet to be surrounded by so much love and goodness. Tyler will send an update on surgery day- it's going to be fabulous! ~ Melissa
