Good luck with your surgery next week.
I didn't really have an option with my recon - mainly because I had a double mastectomy and reconstructing 2 with the other methods was just going to be too big a procedure.

The tightness is probably the most weird part - feels like you have either a brick on your chest or a steel band constantly tight around your chest.
I will send you a private message with my phone number if you would like to have a chat - is sometimes easier than trying to type it all down!!
Bye for now
