Hello and welcome. I can see you have some lovely comments. In regards to TUG/DUG they are very similar surgeries

@Cupcakes is the name of one of our ladies in choosing breast reconstruction. and her story link is here. She hasn’t been active for a while, but you could try and send her a private message.
I have also also tagged you in her story. You will need to be a member of choosing breast reconstruction to view the posts in that group.
My other suggestion is rather rather than your surgeon giving you the name of other ladies (which they won’t do for privacy reasons) you could ask if he could give your number to them so they can contact you if they wish. My PS did this. Well actually his nurse did as the nurses seem to be a bit more proactive in that area. It’s worth a call to their rooms.
Hugs.
