Was diagnosed in July 2014 and it has been a long ride. Had reconstruction 3 months ago. I had a tram flap. I stay nauseated, feels like someone pushing on my stomach and is in pain. I have lost 20 lbs. Does anyone having this problem?

Sorry to hear the Debkelly Most women don't have this problem Have you spoken with your surgeon aboutt his? I have ask the volunteers at SHARE if they have had experienced something similar. Hang in there you should be hearing from someone shortly

Thanks . I did ask surgeon about problem he said my body just has to adjust

I did not have this experience with the tram flap. Had some initial joint pain when I started taking Arimidex but that went away after a few weeks. Hang in there as suggested by your surgeon.

I am sorry you are going thru this and hope things work out for you.Unfortunately my experience with TRAM FLAP is not a good one. My best advice is to stay on top of things don't let doctors blow you off and tell you oh you just need to give your body time. If you continue to have pain and nausea make sure they are checking that it is just your body adjusting to all the trauma it has gone thru and not a seroma or an infection. As this can lead to more surgeries and complications down the line this is especially so if you are in your late fifties and over weight.

My drains all seemed to be draining well i had a vary vary low grade fever I knew I should have a good deal of discomfort but something was off and I felt it and questioned my doctor and was told its just your body adjusting you'll be fine. I wasn't and four hospitalizations later and more surgeries ahead i don't no when this will all end and hope you do not have to go thru this. I don't mean to be negative or to scare you but hope you have the information you need for your best outcome.

May your journey ahead be peaceful and kind and your trials behind you.God bless
