I am so sorry this has happened to you. DIEP is a big decision and a roller coaster ride similar to breast cancer treatment. The first two plastic surgeons I met with had egos so big there wasn't enough room for me in the exam room. The third didn't seem to have enough confidence or experience with DIEP. I think I hit the jackpot with the fourth surgeon...although I haven't had the actual surgery yet. It's scheduled for 7/26. Don't give up. This is just a bump in the road.
