Hi,

Am two years out of Tramflap surgery.  Finally getting some feeling back around the new breasts.  Numbness resides along the tummy line where they took the muscle.  Still I am so glad my implants did not work.  I never have to think about having them replaced!  This is all me.  When I lose weight they lose a little, when I gain same thing, it's all me!  Dr. gave me a DD like I was but for some reason I'm now fitting DDD bras.  ugh.  my husband is happy!  lol   pretty comfortable just posting if anyone else needs support.  Ask away.  I see the last tramflap posts were back from 2002. A lot has changed I'm sure.  It's a great way to go, especially if you start out with a tummy like I did.  They take it and move it up for boobs!  What better benefit from breast cancer than a tummy tuck!

    I almost had the diep flap

    I almost had the diep flap surgery done but when the ps surgeon said the surgery would be 8-10 hours and 4-7 days in the hospital I decided against it.  However I have had two surgeries for implants both of which were four hours long and now need a revision that will be another two hours I kinda wish I would just have the 8 hour surgery and never have to worry about it again AND I get to lose the fat in my belly cause that is where I carry all my weight.  Was your surgery long?
