Angie's TRAM Flap


My name is Angela Willingham, I had breast implants in 1988 after having
all my breast tissue scooped out after my doctor suggestion because of my
family history of breast cancer.

I had them removed in 1995 after numerous health problems and surgeries.

At the time of removal I had the tram flap surgery done in Florida by two 
plastic surgeons in West Palm Beach. I moved to South Carolina in April of
2000.

I have had two hernia surgeries and have pain so bad in my lower
abdomen/pelvic area that it sometimes makes me throw-up.

Also have this budge at the top of my stomach like leftover something.

I also have not been able to walk
like I use to so I have gain almost 35 lbs and I am very depressed over
it.

I have never had a weight problem before, I never weighed this much
with my three pregnancies. 

I can hardly put any pressure on my legs at the time of the spasms?  I have
to walk on my tip toes. 

I see a neurologist for my fibromyalgia. I am on Celebrex, Neurontin,
Sinequin and Estratest for my hormones.  I am 42
years old...

I am in the process of trying to get my SS disability. 

I have looked on the internet for info on the tram flap, but have not found
anything to explain my pain.  I  thought maybe it was just me...   


God Bless,
Angie Willingham

(South Carolina, USA)
