reconstruction

hi viv,

i have had both mine done, from my stomach in 2004... i`m not saying it was a walk in the park, but it was worth it....

the doc told me to take 4 months off work, but i own a salon and that really wasnt possible, so i went back to work after 6 weeks... and it wasnt bad at all......dont believe people telling you that you`ll have a flat tummy lol.. cos they use your muscle to make your breast....

if you want to know any more details let me know ...cos im not sure what to write as not everyone wants too much information ha ha ha

good luck viv

Hi Viv,

I remember you from What Now? and thought you, like so many others, so disliked this new site that you had decided not to  stay. Welcome back! Hope your op goes well and do keep posting.

Best wishes,

KateG

Hi Viv

Am having my recon on 31st March but an LD with implant on my left side and an implant on the right one to match.

Know what you are feeling. Excited but a bit worried about the surgery. As they say no pain no gain.

I think if I got thro chemo I can get thro this.

Best of luck
