marejo,

I am so glad you have a microsurgeon near you that performs DIEP. As you know, I am happy with my DIEP reconstruction. As a side note, I have a bc friend here that had her saline implants fail repeatedly (leaks)- so she started over and had DIEP and is very happy also. I don't know how far your surgeon is away from you, mine was a 4 hour drive. It was some coordinating- but can be done!!

Liked your doc's website. Here is my surgeon's:

If you click on "more information" you will see an excerpt from the informational book he is writing about microsurgical breast reconstruction.
