Bahia everyone I had a lumpectomy with a MICAP flap reconstruction last week. Despite looking at various forums I can’t find anyone who had had this procedure. Would love to know how the recovery was etc .
My pain was extremely severe in the first 2 days but then started to ease.
Any response would be greatly appreciated.
I am sorry I don't have any experience of MICAP flap reconstruction, but as your post has dropped to page 2, I am replying to 'bump' it back to page 1 just in case a lady is around now who can help you.
Kindest wishes, Lesley
Hello
I’ve had the same op on the 23rd May . I have found it difficult to find others who have had the same op. Mine was 6 weeks ago and I have no idea what’s normal. Recovery wise it’s been slower than expected and I was very fit before so I am now struggling not being able to exercise as much.
my back is sore. My ribs feel like they’ve been punched. I have no idea if this is normal.
how are you doing?
