reconstruction - wanted tips and handy hints

thanks for the info,  I put Tram /DIEP as until the surgery starts, the final decision of what is most suitable cannot fully be made by the surgeon.

Having radiotherapy takes implants out of the options avail.

I am also thinking of whats going to be best to wear in hosp (after the gown) as will need buttons, but probably short pjs with a waist band is not ideal??

also are the following actions easy or difficult or not allowed , like getting dressed, cooking, dishes?

I do have a pre-op appt on Wednesday, not sure if the hosp staff answer some of these questions...

let me know, B
