Surgery in January

Lauraleigh16

I have tissue expander in my left breast, & will under go reconstruction surgery in January having the stomach surgery... I was wondering if someone could give me some I for about the surgery? I was wondering if I'll loose weight since I have heard it's like having a tummy tuck. During chemo I gained 30 pounds or so.. Is the recovery time and painful level bad?? I quit smoking in November 2015, and have had about 5 cigarettes since then.. I know it's bad! I don't want to get in trouble or have my surgery cancelled because of this. I don't smoke every day just have a few drags off of one every now and then.

I am in radiation now also and will start tamoxifen in 3 weeks, I am not sure on what to expect with that. Side effects, I am 30 years old and heard it will put you in menopause

If anyone could help that would be great! Thanks
