Finally having my stacked muscle sparing diep on 28th august. Any helpful hints and anyone who has horses when can I expect to be back riding.
Hi pennypig
I’m sorry you haven’t had any replies to your post yet. Hopefully someone will see it now and come along with some support.
I’ve attached a link to our publication on breast reconstruction which you may find helpful:

Hello I am having a stacked DIEP reconstruction and am wondering if anyone has had one who rides horses? If so, has it been ok and when did you start riding again? Thank you!
Hi, I started riding again about 3 months after but took it really easy. For a while as my horse was only 5. The early weeks are the hardest when you cannot stand upright but that passes fairly quickly. I was visiting the yard for a catch up about 2.5 weeks post op. lol couldn’t keep away
I have Pm’d you
