What is the site for the robe?

Thank you for sharing. I'm on my 2 weeks and 1 day and my belly feels tight looks bloated above the belly button. ❤ Seeing your video I'm not too worried about it for now.

Hi Stephanie, thank you for making this video. Did you have to stay in a hot room the first few days after surgery. How hot was the room? Were you allowed to step out if it gets too hot for you?

Hi, my name is Juana and I see your video on KZbin. I really appreciate it you doing that is helping me with mine which is gonna be coming soon. I wanted to know how did you decide what size to put on you and what size did you do? I’m having trouble Because I was big chested and I don’t wanna be big chested anymore so I either wanna go c but I don’t know what size is that and how would it look? I hope to hear from you soon and I pray that you’re doing well and thank you for your videos. It really helps me a lot.

Best video and explanation for my journey. Thanks

Very helpful. Thanks.

Hi there Did they use a catheter or did you go to the loo to wee immediately after coming out of surgery?

Thank you so much for detailing your experience! You’re so positive and lovely! Having my surgery next week and this gives me hope that I will do okay!

Hi, any updates ? Hope you are doing good 🙏

Thanks for sharing...i prayer that 2024 you have fought this

Awesome video!!! Thank you so much for telling me what to expect.

Thank you! 💖

Thank you for sharing. My daughter will be having the surgery next month and I'm sending this to her.

Thank you this was very helpful. I am getting this surgery on July 9

Thank you Mel, am potentially looking at having chemo soon- cancer after 14 yrs. has come back, will have to have mastectomy with chemo.

God bless you for making these videos

Thank you for this. My right breast mastectomy and Diep operation is 25th April 24. You have inspired me and im positive all the way xx

Thanks a lot!

How are you doing now?

I'm just beginning my journey. I have invasive-ductal-carcinoma, high grade, Nottingham grade 3, clinically stage 1 and triple negative. I have dense breasts and had an ultrasound then another one last Saturday with 8 biopsies. 😮 Not a single person, (there were 6 - actually 8 if you count me and my husband) could find the lump in my breast they really tried hard to find it and knew the location so be sure to NEVER skip a mammogram. I actually have 2 lumps. They are pretty close together with detrius in between which they're not sure what it is but it might be more cancer. I'm getting chemo first, then double mastectomy, then DIEP reconstruction a few months after the mastectomy. I'll be getting Keytruda at some point, I think it's after I finish chemo. Luckily for me my husband recorded all my appointments so I can listen to it all again because I'm still a bit overwhelmed, I was only diagnosed a week ago, not even a week yet it's been 6 days. Everything is moving really fast. I'm having my MRI this week coming up and getting my port. I still have to get heart function tests because of the Keytruda, I think or it might be the chemo. I will be getting the red devil plus something else. I was also checked to see if I might get CELLULITIS in my arm. I don't have the results yet but was told that if you could get cellulitis that there are steps they can take to prevent it, apparently once you get it there no helping you then, so anyone who is reading this should find out if they're suseptible to it before surgery. I am also waiting on my genetic testing. I am so glad I found you, you're very tiny and you managed a DIEP. My surgeon wondered if I had enough fat for the surgery. Trust me I'm like a moose in comparison to you. Now I'm sure I'll be able to get the procedure. I don't have big breasts and I'm almost a B. I don't want anything more than what I already have, ok... maybe I'm hoping for a whole B. 😂 Thank you for your videos, I'm binge watching them right now. 😊

Thank you for what I have to look forward to this summer.

So glad you're doing well!!! I go through mastectomy next week but not DIEP until few weeks after. Keeping healing. Keep smiling. You are beautiful!

Thank you for sharing❤

Thank you for this series. I am having DMx on Feb 7 and then delayed DIEP in 3-6 mths. This was so helpful. ❤

Waiting for a date to have mastectomy & DIEP reconstruction. Thank you so so much for taking the time to share your journey & spreading so much positivity ❤❤❤❤ it's quite scary not knowing what's it's like post-op so your videos are super helpful

How are you doing now?!? It’s been 2 years!

The diep doesn't give you a breast lift?

You have helped so much. Surgery Jan 19. Thankful to have found you.

Thank you for sharing this!! I have a consultation with The Center in New Orleans tomorrow!!

Also are you happy with your new breast? Do they look real? I was thinking about getting tattoos to cover any scar tissue.

I'm going to be having this surgery in the Spring once school is out for my kids. Could you choose what size you wanted your breast to be. I was a double D before my mascetomy but I don't want to be that big again. I'm thinking a nice C cup.

Sooo totally relate to your experiences! I hate back sleeping too!! I'm three months into my recovery, taking it slowly. Much love to you for your candor and caring advice.

How are you now, honey? It’s been 2 years since you posted 😢

Wishing you all the best

Thank you for sharing your story.

any post bras you recommend? going for my surgery next week?

Can you please post another video. It gives us hope to know you are a survivor 🩷 thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos. Your speaking voice is so beautiful and authentic. Love your smile and light, you are stunning 🫶🏾

Thank you so much for your video, it answered many of my questions and put me at ease.🎉❤

Can't hear you that well

Getting on and off the toilet - can’t use a toilet lifter - how to do this w out using chest or stomach muscles? My apologies if u mentioned it and I dozed off and missed it

I had my Diep and mastectomy on Oct 4. I have to say, you cracked me up so much that I was in tears. My chest hurts from laughing so much!!!!!! The tight belly, sleeping and peeing....Then, when you got to the poop part, I dropped my phone, laughing so hard! My chest hurts from laughing so hard. I said the same thing" i didn't want to have a flat belly from cancer." I chuckled... This was the best video ever! I had front row tickets to Dave Chapelle on Oct 19. I had to give them away! Uuugh May you have a speedy recovery and be able to hold your babies close to you. And to your mom, you are a queen who raised a queen. God bless you and your family. Love a sister, Jo-Jo

Are you wearing a binder and for how long

I'm just at decision stage. Probably diep flap, but am scared (of the whole damn thing tbh). Thank you for your bravery in sharing your story ❤🙏 it is so reassuring to learn from others who have experienced/ are experiencing. Sending love and prayers for your continued healing xx

I see a surgeon on friday...im nervous....we were in talks of a flap......

Hi sweet girl i just watched you're video 12 days out! because im having my mastectomy on oct 27th 😬 and then my flap surgery on the 4th thank u for all your information it really helps to hear and watch someones journey 💖 where did you get that pillow were a very Huggy family also. I hope you continue to feel better thank you So much your so cute. 💗

Detoxing will help you get all that metal and poison out of your body. Dandelion tea 👍🏻😊

I'm at 18 days recovery mode. I was told I would be given exercises at my next appointment, can you tell me what kind of exercises I will be given? Will I be given approval to walk upright at that visit also? I am able to have some comfort sitting up a little bit, no longer feel the skin pulling at this point. I was given Ibuprofen for pain & SWELLING. I don't have pain anymore, do you know if I can take it DAILY for swelling? My stomach is very hard and very numb, NONE of the numbness has come down yet.

Loved your vlog post. I’m having my DIEP Flap surgery on 9/14 and it’s nice to hear other experiences. Thank you for keeping it real and positive.❤

This Was Really Good Thank You For Sharing 😊💕💕💕💕

This is The Best Video I’ve Seen So Far For Me Before I Get My Mastectomy
