Anon,

Thank you so very much for writing about your experience. There's nothing like hearing from other women when it comes to dealing with our own conditions or undergoing our own procedures. It's also so interesting that you and many of your friends traveled to have this surgery.

For others who are reading, the page she refers to is the home page of the Center for Restorative Breast Surgery in New Orleans, Louisiana. It introduces you to their doctors and procedures with detailed information and photographs. The procedures they do include:

--Nipple sparing
--DIEP flap
--"Stacked" DIEP flap
--SIEA flap
--SGAP flap
--IGAP flap
--Bilateral Simultaneous Immediate GAP flap
--Hip flap
--One Step Alloderm Implant Reconstruction
--Lymphedema treatment
--Poland's syndrome treatment
--BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 gene screening and genetic counseling

Thanks again for writing, Anon. Best of luck to you.
