I did check out your website and it is very informative. Except for new members to our group everyone has pretty much had their reconstruction or opted to not have any. The DIEP was really new when I had surgery. I have heard of only a few who have had it. I am glad yours was successful and you are so happy with it. I know you will be of help to anyone considering reconstruction. Thanks a lot for sharing. Hugs Mary K.

Thanks for letting me know, MK. Maybe it will help some newbies. I will always be available to answer anyone's questions, as far as my experience. Take care of you.
