    Amen. You are truly appreciated. I'm still in phase 1 and for the most part i feel great. Then there's the other part the cold chills, the pain that fills like something attached itself to you. Again i say God bless and speedy recovery

      It’s hard but not impossible right? I’m dealing with the sharp zings of pain in my right breast. I know it’s the nerves waking up but oooweee it hurts. Just thanking God for my healing.

    Hey Felicia, i was thinking about you last week. I'm glad to know everything went well. I can't wait for your followup. After having reconstruction surgery 7 yrs ago with implants i had to have them removed in May due to complications on my left side. Thank God I decided to have them removed because the right side was leaking and in worse shape and i didn't know that. I had my DIEP Flap surgery on Nov 30th, I'm home recovering. My doc told me i have to wait 6 mons for the 2nd part of this surgery and i can't wait. Thank you for allowing me to go with you on your journey. May God continue to bless you and your family 💖

    Thank you for sharing your story. I am skeptical to start my second phase because the DIEP surgery recovery was tough for me and I am terrified of more pain. You are a beautiful woman and I will be looking out for the next video!

    Felicia, I’m so happy to see you!! I can’t thank you enough for sharing your journey. I’m praying for you, sister! I know it’s hard and you are so strong and generous to take us along with you. I’m 3 months past my Diep flap surgery and still recovering. How long between your first & second surgeries?

    Hey Felicia…I know you had your Phase 2 awhile ago but I wanted to know did you ask to have your Diastasis Recti fixed? Or did the PS just repair it? And Did they use a mesh to repair it? Thanks in Advance…I just had my Phase 2, but I will need a Phase 3 to have Fat Grafting, Lipo, and Shaping…but I want them to fix my Diastasis Recti alsooooo, it developed it after DIEP surgery.

      Hi! I just had them repair with no mesh. To be honest I don’t even know if he did a great job fixing it. I probably could’ve done phase 3 but I was just so done with surgeries. 😩
