You can have an implant and if you change your mind do a TRAM or DIEP later. However the TRAM/DIEP is a once only.
Full recovery from TRAM/DIEP is three months. Many get up and running sooner, but don't underestimate the recovery process. It is major surgery.
I had a DIEP and am happy with it. I like having warm mounds of my own flesh on my chest. No regrets.
Have you used the Breconda process? It might help.
