Reply to "2 step or 3 step?"

I had a three step surgery.  I'd just had a baby about six weeks before my first surgery, so that might have had something to do with it.  I remember feeling so good after the first surgery, being in a lot of pain for about a week after the second, and trying to adjust to my new pouch after the third, which was not what I expected. (That was with four little ones around, so the details are a bit fuzzy.)

I do agree with your doctor, that letting the inflammation heal between surgeries would be a good idea, but you know you body best.  If you are healthy enough for a two-step, then do it. But either way you're going to be doing what's best for you at whatever stage you're in.  Thankfully, there is no contest between what's the best for everyone: one step, two step, or three.
