Replies to "How has your experience with DIEP flap? And would you do it again? I'm considering DIEP..."
The DIEP flap surgery was 16 hours. I am 10 weeks out and still can't stand straight and have a lot of back pain because of all the work they did on my core (stomach). I have had a lot of pain. If I had it to do all over again, I would not do the DEIP and would just go flat. Everyone has a different pain threshold; mine is just not high at all. If you have any questions for me, please reach out.
