    Hi
    I'm hoping to have reconstruction using sgap or igap procedure (at Whiston Hospital) . Since it's not widely used I'm struggling to find someone who's had it done. Feel nervous about going ahead without reassurance - though nurse at Whiston has given me lots of useful info.
    I was told my stomach wasn't flabby enough to use that (benefit ? of chemo induced puking!). Suppose could wait til flab returns which no doubt it will - sadly!

    Anyway I'd love to talk to someone who's had new boob using sgap or igap. thanks
    Clare

    Hi Claire

    One of the members on bcpals has had a "sgap".

    To read her experience go to the above link, she also has photos in our surgery albums.
    Best wishes

    Hi Clare

    I have not had the surgery but it is likely to be the type of opertion I have to have for reconstruction. I hope you found the information you need and your operation was a success!
