Hi @gailforce_75, hopefully you have joined the Choosing Breast Reconstruction group here - thanks @nikkid for putting in the link. We have had quite a few members who have had a Lat Dorsi reconstruction and so there are a number of photo stories available to read in that group.
Thanks to to @LucyE for suggesting Reclaim Your Curves. RYC was set up by Louise Turner (who started the Choosing Breast Reconstruction group here) to specifically inform and support women going through / considering reconstruction and there are a few ways to get support:
1) Check out the website - specifically the info on Lat Dorsi reconstructions here: https://www.reclaimyourcurves.org.au/latissimus-dorsi-flap.html
2) Join the RYC Facebook group - there are many members from here who are also members: https://www.facebook.com/groups/reclaimyourcurves/
3) Come along to a support group lunch - we have informal get togethers in various locations, run by our peer support volunteers: https://www.reclaimyourcurves.org.au/ryc-peer-support-lunches.html
Hope this helps. Hopefully see you in one of the groups soon :) Jane xx
