Re sensation loss with Garramone:  I had top surgery with him in June 2011, so it's been a bit over 1 year.  I'm still regaining sensation and have recently regained some erotic sensation as well.  Doesn't feel quite the same but still better than it was several months ago.  Any time a person has top surgery, particularly DI, there is always the possibility of sensation loss regardless of the surgeon.

Is the sensation loss uncomfortable? Do u always feel the sensation loss? Like do you forget it's there b/c you lived with it so long? It is something you get used to?

My chest doesn't actually feel numb all the time.  I'm not really aware of my chest throughout the day.  When I touch my chest, I can mostly feel it.  Some parts near my scars and sides have only a little feeling.  My nipples require fairly strong pressure to feel anything (but it does feel good).  It used to be uncomfortable to touch my chest and not feel anything.  Only in a way that when your leg goes numb from sitting on it for too long.  Not painful or anything like that.

Thanks for explaining how it feels. Glad it's not painful for you. Hope you get more feeling back.

I have a couple of numb spots on my chest, but I barely notice them. I have to do a whole lotta poking to even locate the numb spots. I had a lot more numbness during the year following surgery, but almost all of that went away. I didn't have surgery with Garramone, though.

I was getting nerve healing even more than a year out.
