Peg, it looks like your day is coming up soon. MaryJO just had her DIEP done less then 2 wks ago and is doing fantastic. I had mine done Nov 06 and I could not be happier with the results. I'm sure you will do very well. I would be happy to share with you any of my experiences with the procedure.
Best wishes to you.
Maryanne

Hi Peg,

As "harrie" said, I just went through bilateral DIEP. On June 17th as a matter of fact. I had a very positive experience. Everything went perfectly and my new breasts are beautiful. Honestly, I'm enjoying them WAY more than I thought. I didn't realize I missed them as much as I did.

Anyway, if you have any questions please don't hesitiate to contact me. You can PM me here or just ask in the open, whatever you want. If you want to talk via the telephone that would be fine too.

Your day is fast approaching....asking God to make it "alright and wonderful" for you "sister."

Mary Jo
