Thank you I will. It's a mixture of emotions- glad that I finally have a date but apprehensive as I've been surgery free for 2.5 years and I know this is a big op. Though it will be nice to feel more comfortable with my body 😃

Hi you must be delighted to finally have your surgery arranged.

I had Diep December 2015 immediately following a mastectomy so a very long surgery and recovery.

I am delighted with the result and never regret my decision.

Wishing you well with your surgery 💕🌺 xx
