The following is a brief recount of my hospital stay after my delayed left DIEP (Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator) flat reconstruction surgery. I hope by sharing my experience, others might gain a sense of what it is like to have this type of operation and what to expect in the hospital. I would also like to dedicate this to all who cared for me at the health center.
