My first surgery they did what you had this time - foot long harvest of tissue/veins/whatever - from my left thigh. My 2nd surgery I had the graft from my right thigh directly to my tongue - they did not use my forearm as a "middleman". I didn't find that either of those contributions from my legs bothered me much at all. My first C section I remember being soooo worried about the metal staples - but I've learned they truly are nothing at all to worry about.

Thrilled to hear you are recovering well.
