LD flap recon soon

Hi all,
I'm three years post diagnosis (followed by chemo, rads) and I have delayed recon surgery date in less than three weeks for LD flap with implant. I'm excited and scared!
Did anyone have this procedure and regret it?
Also, due to medication side effects I had to give up my favourite exercise of walking and decided to learn to swim as a new form of exercise. Now I'm actually good at swimming and find it great exercise. Also, it feels like mindfulness going up and down the pool, calms the head when I have to concentrate on one, two, take a breath! So I'm a bit worried about the potential weakness from messing with the back muscle and maybe ending up not able to swim.
I'd be very grateful of any comments or advice. I'd rather know the good, the bad and the ugly in advance!
Thanks,
Jo
