Severe Gynecomastia after 15 years - Novato, CA

ORIGINAL POST

I have dealt with gynecomastia for most of my life...

I have dealt with gynecomastia for most of my life. It started with a knot that I had under my nipple which was sore when I was in the 4th grade. I was told that this would pass as it was a part of growing up, over a period of months over side of my chest was clearly larger than the other side. Unfortunately after all this had occurred I began to gain a lot of weight I was like most with this condition embarrassed to take off my shirt. In high school I started wearing under armor in hopes no one would notice that I hate [RS bleep] it was embarrassing by then I only weighed 180 and I was 5'11 so I wasn't huge or anything I just had boobs. I thought about this surgery over and over again but was freaked out about scarring then I found dr. Delgado which it Seems he specialize in minimal scarring so I booked and now I'm counting down the days I also decided to throw in lipo of the flanks because I workout everyday and they don't seem to go anywhere. :-)

Hang in there. The surgery is a breeze. I've dealt with gyno for about 20 years, I finally said enough is enough. I had my surgery yesterday. There is way less pain than I'd expect, only the points of incisions are a little sore. I'm heading to my follow up appointment now.
August 16, 2016
Cool I'm preparing for surgery now!
August 16, 2016
Good luck sir
August 16, 2016

So it's only a few days before surgery and I've began taking my new vitamin in combinations with the previous one (started 2 week before surgery) so the first vitamin i started was the vitamedica morning and evening. Now i started the bromelain these vitamins are to help reduce inflammation and thing during and after surgery. I'm super anxious my flight leaves early monday morning and I'm counting down the days!

for the lipo- are you doing smart lipo or the vaser (ultrasound)?
August 13, 2016
Vaser, have you had lipo?
August 13, 2016
not yet. im getting gyno surgery and the doctor will do vaser lipo in and around the chest area and my under arm area. I can't wait. Until the process begins, I've been dieting trying to loose 2lbs a week.
August 14, 2016
That's good when are you scheduled for? I've been working on eating healthy to help with my skin elasticity.
August 14, 2016
My appt is for 22nd of sept.
August 14, 2016
Yea I just seen that, it's super exciting! How many pounds overweight are you? I was a 100lbs overweight in highschool 275lbs was the largest I've gotten and I'm finally down to 167lbs and it's so much skin. It look like you have good elasticity so hopefully that would help smoking damaged me.
August 14, 2016
how long did it take you to lose your weight? According to the charts- I should be at 185lbs. I'm gonn go to 200lbs and see how I look.
August 14, 2016
im about 60lbs overweight btw.
August 14, 2016
I lost 60 in the first year and I was about 198 for a couple years and about 2 years ago I lost the last 20-30lbs. The last few pounds are there hardest to get and keep off
August 13, 2016
Congrats man
August 14, 2016
Thanks
August 16, 2016
Make sure your surgeon approves your vitamins. I was told to pretty much stay away from everything that wasn't vital to my immediate health.
August 16, 2016
The vitamins are a part of his care.

So I made it in town yesterday and the location but is perfect for healing everyone at the hotel is they sent up extra pillows and thing I will need. I took my last vitamins and started my hibiclens wash last night along with my antinausea and antibiotic preparing to repeat the same process and off to surgery. I'll keep you guys posted!
