I am also very sorry I had my Tram Flap Surgery 12 years ago and would also like to reverse it. Do you recommend reducing or removing the abdominal muscles? Will it help with the pain I feel in the area or with the budge I have in the middle of my chest? I also was able to do 100 sit ups before this surgery & have not being able to do any exercise that involves the stomach muscles since this surgery. If I do I have more pain, fell nauseous & have a hard time breathing. If I have the muscle removed will this make it easier to do my exercises.
As far as I know there is no reverse TRAM flap. If you wanted your muscles left intact, you should have looked at DIEP flap. That moves tissue, skin and blood vessels from your donor site but leaves all muscles intact.
