Hi,

Just wanted to reply quickly to say that it took me agessssss to decide what kind of reconstruction I wanted and in the end I went with diep. That was 7wks ago and I don't regret the decision one bit. The first wk is obviously quite intense with everything but I can honestly say that it was nowhere near as bad as I imagined. I thought I'd be bed ridden and unable to look after my son but a couple of days in hospital and I was home and taking it easy, but walking fine etc! 

Whatever you go for just take time to recover, listen to your body and rest loads!

Sending lots of positive vibes your way and if you need to know anything then feel free to send me a message x

Thanks for all the detailed responses! Much appreciated and the more responses gives context for all the different experiences that you have all had.

Good to hear about the DIEP too Mickey and the different areas and recovery and nb info on drains and dressings.

Fantastic that you are all pleased. 

Keep up the recovery... sounds you are all doing really well which is great to hear.
