well finally an update

Congratulations and good to hear that things are going well.  Keep up the good work. Definitely want to see pictures from your birthday party with you in your new dress.

Congratulations!  🎉  

Well done Robin, and don't feel bad English sizes ( and I should know cos am English) are a size smaller than ours so a UK 18 is a Canadian 16.

Sounds like you are doing really well.  I think my referral for panni finally went in, tho not sure.  Saw Viv end of January, and end of March it was on her desk . . . Finally.  I was thinking that if things moved more quickly I'd have surgery this summer, but what was I thinking!?!  Perhaps next summer . . . The plastics wheel seems to grind as slowly as the surgery wheel does.  Did Viv recommend a surgeon?  She mentioned someone in Hamilton, but I preferred Dr. Nan in Scarborough, partly because I have 3 nieces in the area, which means some savings on hotels.  Sure wish we had someone else here, tho many people have been very satisfied with Thibert.

She recommended dr nan I too would much rather have the surgery locally I hate the idea of the expense associated with travel northern travel grant in no way covers it all. I have heard really mixed things about Theibert and I heard it is hard to get approval from him but who knows. I would love to hear from anyone who has had him for the surgery I know a few who have had boobs done with him and have been pleased. Well it is definitely something to think about though.

My sister had panni and boobs done, she is very happy.  Both were covered by OHIP.  She did not upgrade to full tt.  I just would rather go to someone experienced with our stretchy skin.
