reconstruction - wanted tips and handy hints
Ladies, any handy information to help with my hosp stay and 6 week recovery period?
I am having a tram DIEP flap reconstruction which is quite major surgery and will be limited with what i can do ...

Glad your op went well! I have just come out of hospital after a bit of tweaking!! My stomach scar had "corners" (I call them corners but my surgeon called them dog ears! I didn't like that so corners was what I called them :) ). I didn't have to wear any stomach binder for either the original op or this tweaking one. The surgeon recommended wearing bike pants but I only did that for a couple of days as I was getting too hot. The scars all look good and I get the new dressings taken off tomorrow.
Best of luck with the rest of your recovery,
Louise
