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....
Take your time, your body has gone through a massive procedure. I think I was 6-7 weeks before walking comfortably. The ab binder was my friend 🙂. I had more of an issue with a reaction to the tape they used on my incisions. They said they did not usually have a problem with it but since me my surgeon had over half a dozen more ladies have the same issues. That was frustrating as you didn’t know what was “normal”, took longer to heal and bigger scar in places and I have never had such problems in the past. Do not have sensitive skin or allergies. All good now.
