I am 51 years old and I'm having a double mastectomy and immediate reconstruction by diep procedure. I have the brca1 mutated gene. I am menopausal and in october i will get a hysterectomy to get me to the post menopausal stage i guess. i am currently approx. 15 lbs overweight with a small belly. It is for the most part evenly distributed throughout. My plastic surgeon says i should have enough but i may be a little smaller. I would hate to be smaller but refuse to get implants. So if i gain 10 lbs or so before the surgery, will i lose it in my breasts when i try to reduce my weight and all will be for naught???
