3 weeks post Bilateral DIEP breast recon
Hi. I finally did my DIEP op. I procrastinated for ages and it feels so good to have it over and done with im 3 weeks post op, I think I’m recovering well but you know how you don’t “really” know....

Hi @Marketta,
congrats on your surgery. This is a really great question to also pop in our choosing breast reconstruction group. I think you might be a member but here’s the link. There are quite a few members who may not come to the main forum who have had this surgery. After my bilateral TRAM which is similar I think I was upright after about a week but definately by 2 weeks. It did feel really tight though. I slept with pillows for quite a few weeks, I was almost in a nest of them. I would lose one every few days. You sound like you are doing really well.
