Re: Anyone have the tummy tuck/reconstruction combo? (DIEP)
My experience is very similar-had reconstruction about 2 years after bilateral mastectomy. Have had no problems and I would definitely do it again. I had mine done at Elmbrook Hospital by Milwaukee, and was in the hospital for a few days with very little pain. I'm also a teacher so I had it done over summer, and 4 weeks after the surgery my husband and I took a vacation to Glacier National Park and did lots of walking. I also have basically no feeling on the breasts or along the abdomen, but that has never caused a problem. I would suggest anyone that is considering this surgery to get it done!
