Running and Recon

goldlining

Obviously, running is not something I do with any noteworthy proficiency but it gives me a lot of pleasure to prevail over it, and as the past year has unfolded, I take prevailing in any flavour it comes in.

My current state is the Bad Boob has been dispatched to the path lab and no recon yet. The other side is going to be disposed of as well. I won't ever see it as anything other than a threat, and I don't want to take valium forever!

I would like to know the impact on running of various reconstruction options.

I've read posts about immune related side-effects of foreign body implants and I have all those allergy/asthma/eczema and achypainyness immune complaints already so I'm thinking that's a low-appeal reconstruction strategy for me, but I'm guessing it might work okay for running. 

I've read DIEP has a long operation and high surgical skill requirement, and is scarce in availability, and in my geopolitical context, has a long wait time, but quick recovery and probably good for potential running?

I have the impression TRAM comes in various versions. I think I could get a TRAM pretty quick, but I don't yet know what flavours are on my local menu, and some sound like they'd seriously mess with running.

Then there is NO reconstruction. I forgot my beanie foob yesterday at the Y and so I ran with one DD and one flat and nobody let on (I ran in the women's only area, but still...) It's less weight to carry around. 

Any runners with reconstruction, can you share how your type of recon affected or did not affect running, including the getting-back-to-fitness timeline?

THANKS!
