Louise, I also had the DIEP and I could not be happier with the results. Sure it was one heck of a long surgery, but you know what???>>>> it was hardest on my dr who worked on my all those hrs and my family who were waiting. For me it was like a 5 min nap!!..kinda...
I consider my DIEP like one positive miracle that came out of this whole cancer ordeal. It is a work of art and an amazing work that was done on my body.
Try to relax....it went great for Mary JO and me...and I see no reason why you will not be just as happy.
ok?
Maryanne
