had DIEP July 2014.Despite 2 aspirations and 2 operations still have it,some 17months later.Nothing more can be done.It is not getting any worse,but is anyone aware of anything I can do to help it go?am walking,swimming,and do Pilates...Is here anything one can eat to help,or different type of exercise???

Wear a corset all day.....I feel there must be someone with some sort of answer ....

    I'm so sorry you are dealing with this. Has anyone else had any advice for you? I have my diep on the 9th so I haven't walked this road yet. Did you post on the 2014 diep thread?

    Lifting you up in prayer for an end to this swelling.

    Much love, prayers & hugs

    Is the buldge along the incision or looks more like a baby belly? There was a 2014 diep thread. Go back to reconstruction and scroll back a few pages you'll see it or you could put diep 2014 in the search box to. I'm praying someone can help you with this. Has the rest of your reconstruction gone well?
