26 Yr Old - Gynecomastia Surgery - Novato, CA

Roger! Sure thing. It took about 3 to 4 months after deciding to get the procedure done that I found Dr. Delgado. I left a message in his office, and either the same day or a couple days later, he called me directly and we just talked for 20-25 minutes about what was going on and how the gynecomastia was effecting my life. I had never felt so cared for about my condition after that conversation. It was as if he knew all along what I was going through and that I didn't need to worry now. For so long, I never confided how I was feeling to anyone, and in this short phone call, deep foreign places of hope in me started to spring up. Today, I feel the shame gone. Truck loads. Washed way with dignity.

Following the phone call with Dr. Delgado and within 3 weeks, I flew down to meet him and see the facility. Scrolling through the thousands of photos of previous patients with him, I couldn't believe how close I was to getting my chest corrected. Not more than a year prior, I had never in my wildest imagination thought I would be able to have things changed. It was while talking with a pastor at that time, that the depth of shame started to become apparent to me which prior I hadn't even realized how hard it was on me. Dr. Delgado's support following was also confirmation of this; and I was ready to move forward.

I was able to schedule the surgery a couple weeks before Christmas, in about two months from the trip to Novato. Another patient had moved their schedule forward slightly, allowing this earlier slot of time. We took it and I started to make preparations in the weeks prior. I can tell you now, looking back and knowing how afraid of needles and stitches I was, passing through this whole process was another revelation to me on how deeply I wanted this condition gone. Delado's office staff and nurses also did make the entire procedure comfortable and with very minimal pain. By mid morning on the 9th, I was laying on a warm surgery bed and ready to go. Moments later, in reality about about 4 hours later, I woke up a new person. It was, truly, as if in 3 or 4 hours puberty and the shame with it was entirely washed from my life.

The days following provided a wonderful surprise. As I was bed ridden for most of the week following, I had a chance to reflect on life and what it was going to be like. Each passing day, my heart felt a little more lifted. And then it went beyond what I could imagine within a couple weeks. Even to this day, if I start to think about this entire journey, joy wells up deep inside me and I can't help but smile. I am forever thankful to have been able to pass through this condition and reach the other side. The following few months were slow with recovery, but each passing day brought new hope and confidence. Today and this year, I've started to workout more with some friends, and I feel so different. Yes, on the outside, but also deep on the inside. I am so thankful for everything. I hope anyone and everyone in a similar position as mine, can find a road that leads to healing. That's my story. If you want me to leave any more comments, just let me know. My best. Numbers 6: 24-26

It has been just over one year since my gynecomastia surgery with Dr. Delgado and I am thoroughly satisfied with the results and have absolutely no regrets. It has been one of the single most important events in my life and I am deeply grateful for the professionalism, care, and service of Dr. Delgado and his office staff. I know I am just one amongst many that get this procedure done, but it meant so much to me, that I wanted to leave this great review. I’m thankful to God that our paths crossed too. I hope Dr. Delgado never forgets how deeply he is helping people that are fighting with gynecomastia. It has definitely changed my life for the better and I would recommend anyone considering this operation to talk with Dr. Delgado. My gratitude always Dr. Delgado.
