I wish your wife well with her upcoming surgery.  I am sorry but I am not familiar with the TUG flap.  Please tell your wife this is a good place for her to come and "talk" if she needs to.  Same to you.

Check on the www.facingourrisk.org website.  There are more women that have had that procedure, that may be able to help.  There are doctors in New Orleans that do multi amts of flap surgeries also.  They may be able to help also.   Check www.breastcenter.com site.  They talk about the multi flap procedures that they do there.  It is where Iwish I could have gone.  They are  great!!
