Hi Sin! I am in my 9th week recovering from bilateral mastectomy with tramflap reconstruction. Have you had yours? I am happy to be here for you if you need someone "who understands". It's for sure major surgery and recovery and I've dealt with conflicting emotions....but now I am cancer-free and never have to worry about implant problems/replacements. I had to "choose" this method since I had previous rediation that damaged my breast tissue. At this point I am (only) dealing with recovery issues of bloating and avoiding a hernia...which will hopefully improve just like everything else did. My best to you - wishing for good and improved health. mommyme2001ataol.com
