I wanted to post a positive experience about having a reconstruction done via diep flap. I had a lumpectomy where the lower portion - a good portion - of my right breast was removed in April 2010. ...
I went back part time after 7 weeks. You can't lift heavy things for 3 months but I still went to the gym after 7 weeks and took it a bit easy. I've just about got all full movement in stretching my arms up now.
The information night should be good. The ladies will probably show you their 'work'!
In happy to send you photos I took after the op and now 9wks later if you PM me your email address.
All the best
Diane
