I will be having a Diep flap surgery in about 3 weeks. I am about 1 1/2 years from my mastectomy. I would have had an implant, just because it is an easier surgery, but I had radiation, so implants are out.

Have you decided what kind you are having?

Tram flaps are still popular, but the diep is now a better option because no stomach muscle is taken. the problem is that there are not alot of doctors who do this procedure. I am traveling to New Orleans for my surgery. It was a difficult decision because I have three young children, but I felt a diep was the better choice for me.

feel free to send a pm if you want any info about where I am going, my experience, etc.

Good Luck !

Laurie
