Bilateral mastectomy with lat dorsi reconstruction

@kmakm I am 6 weeks today post op and still sore. I was expecting to be back to normal by now so being prepared for longer is a good idea and if you recover quicker than its a bonus. 

@desinha 5 - 7 days in hospital. The PS says 6 weeks, but my BreastCare nurse says for every hour on the table it's a week of recovery. So 8 - 10 weeks. We'll see.

I'm having a bi-lateral mastectomy with a DIEP reconstruction in three weeks. I'll say yes you can do it if you say yes I can do it... deal?!  :)

I got the answer. I just asked the same question over PM :) Did the doctor tell you how many days you might stay at hospital and how much would be the recovery time post surgery?
