Latissimus dorsi reconstruction for swimmers?

Hi Jenny,

Thanks for your post about the lat dorsi breast reconstruction.  I am recovering at home after having this exact procedure done 13 days ago.  I also had extensive treatment following my bc diagnosis in June 2011.  The lat dorsi recon was really my only option.  I was very nervous about the op and the recovery time but I can honestly say that I am feeling great, albeit a little sore and tired.  

I am fairly active (love to walk most days, swim, play with my kids, etc) and have been told that I should be back to normal after allowing my body to heal for a good few months.  I will be starting physio again in a couple of weeks and this should help further :)

I hope this is helpful to you.

Best of luck and if you have any other questions please let me know.

Em
