I had reconstructive Delayed DEIP surgery at the end of February(4 months ago) and my recent bloodwork shows anemia and my CEA number went to 4.5. I am still swollen and may have an incisional hernia. Has anyone else had similar problems after this surgery?

    Sorry I can't help. I had bilateral mastectomy and tissue expanders and tentatively plan to have DIEP in October so I'm interested in what responses you get. What is CEA?

    Hope you recover well and get all the help that you need.
