Making a decision

Hi, I'm just over 4 weeks out from my skin sparin, nipple sacrificing bilateral mastectomy with immediate free TRAM flap reconstruction. It was a 12 hour surgery and I spent 9 days in hospital (private patient in RPA). I started back at my full-time job this Monday. I am still pretty sore in the abdominal area but not enough to take painkillers. I find that by mid afternoon my stomach is swollen and uncomfortable. My breasts are great Nd have healed well. Because most of my skin was saved I have full feeling everywhere on my breasts except of course where my nipples have been replaced with skin from my abdomen. I will be back to my plastic surgeon in early February to schedule a nipple reconstruction and a couple of shape/scar "tweaks". I went into the surgery a 38D and came out the same size but much firmer and higher (I'm 47yrs and breast fed 3 kids so my breasts had lost some body over the years). I am very happy so far. Not sure why you were told that bilateral wasn't possible... Jenn
