So I am 9 months post DIEP flap and of course have not used my abdominal muscles since I don't know when my PS finally released me to exercise as I please but abdominal work is a bitch any ideas on how to start off and rehabilitate my muscles ? ๐
I am happy with my diep flap I couldn't stand the feeling of he expanded when I had radiation plus I was able to get contouring done around my abdomen which took a few inches off my waist so that was the silver lining in all this they do feel and look really natural
I would start with core strengthening exercises. Theres alot of ideas on youtube.com
go online. and look for trainer who is certified in breast cancer patients, that way you wont hurt yourself they are out there just keep looking
I absolutely detested my implants and I felt like they were making me sick. Had them taken out and a DIEP FLAP on 7/6/2015. I do not regret it at all. I love them and how natural they are!
Can I ask are you pleased with your diep ,I have an implant, early days as I now need chemo and radiotherapy but I don't like the feeling of an implant at all.
