Diep flap/breast reconstruction surgery

tarams602

good morning everybody,

It’s been a little over four weeks since I’ve had my diep flap surgery. I seem to be healing OK, but noticed over the past couple of days, I have very bad lower back pain and sleeping has been an issue from when I got home from the hospital. I’m very itchy as well and I think that may be a part of healing, but not 💯 sure. I’d like to know how everyone else feels at this point after the same surgery. I believe my doctor has me signed to go back to work in about two weeks. At this point, I’m not sure if I see that happening being I work a physical job. I work in a kitchen environment. I’d love to hear feedback from anyone who has had the same surgery and similar symptoms. Thank you all so much in advance.

Tara
