Got Gyno Removed Today!

[gear shef]

So a bit of back ground. Im 28 years old. Ive had glandular gyno since puberty (around age 15), which only progressed during my early AAS use in which time I did not have the knowledge I do now. So for years Ive dealt with it and it sucked. Everyone else said they couldnt tell but I could. Even when I was lean the gland was still visible. I tried everything. crashing estrogen with AI, high dose Tamox (worked the best FYI), Raloxifene (didnt do anything for me, both pharm grade, powder, and solution), vit b6, winny (dht's seemed to help slightly).

I was able to get a gland excision covered by insurance. It only cost me $520 for bilateral treatment! I went to a general surgeon and told him I was in pain...About the surgery itself today...I was nervous...They put me to sleep...I dont remember shit...and Im in absolutely no pain currently (9-10hrs post op). I have looked at it and the difference to me is already dramatic. Once it heals up a bit Ill post some pictures of the results. I did not do any lipo just gland removal.

Ill post some pictures to give you an idea of what I was working with prior to surgery, they are not current pictures but one is from March 2018 and is similar to my current body fat (fat for me, im usually pretty lean). Ill also post some from late May 2018 at sub %10 bf (I blew back up over last 6 weeks...20lbs). But keep in mind I would usually stimulate my areola to decrease the gyno appearance in photos and while at the pool or whatever. Talk about a mind fuck, if your doing shit like this just get the surgery. What Im saying is it was worse than what you see in the pictures. I wish I would have taken one right before for yall.

Ill have to post the pics in a bit because my daughter is using my phone and thats where they are. So scroll down to view them once the are up.

Im here for any questions some of you suffering from this may have.

appreciate you sharing this with the community as I’m sure we are all to some extent wondering if/when it will hit us next.

pic from march prior to leaning down. more accurate to what I look like right now, minus a bit of extra muscle (probable 5 more lbs of muscle currently)/ shows the gyno better

For sure brother!

Damn, you really lean out nicely. No homo.
I honestly could not see any remotely significant signs of gyno, however, when you bulked that left pec becomes apparent.
I have seen some prepubescent gyno that we’re straight in need of a bra! I don’t think you were anywhere near that.

Nevertheless, only you know what your experiences is living with that, and you had the means and you made the decision, so I commend your for that. I hope your surgery goes well and you recover quickly.

Thanks bro I’m anticipating a great recovery. Hoping to get back into the gym ASAP.

Yea leaning up has never been physiologically hard for me but always is psychologically. I typically run some anabolics when cutting so I tend to put on a bit of muscle during the cut

Interesting about the Ralox not working for you.
'Formula Secrets' on YouTube was making big claims just today that Ralox would work for anybody and any type of gyno and completely remove it no matter what.

You should call his bullshit out.
I would but he banned me for saying Anavar only cycle is ok without pct or having any ai on hand in case it's not Anavar etc.

I haven’t watched any of his videos but have seen his ads. And from just that I can tell you he is very inaccurate and also a poor poster child for our cause

Being the theme of this forum to be one of harm reduction we should all agree that him putting this information out on a media outlet with its highest percentage of viewers being juveniles is a bad idea. Guys like him, Tony huge and many others simply feed the fire for another situation like that of RAW DEAL. Which if anyone remembers sucked a bag of dicks for about 2 years. He’s seems to be the typical gym bro that learns just enough for somewhat practical application and disseminates the information as gospel with extremely limited or any scientific backing. What we need are well informed researchers, doctors, and lawyers on our side. Not this goober.

That being said in regards to raloxifene there was indeed a higher percentage of patients with a more positive outcome from ralox over tamox in one study. However to my knowledge this hasn’t been replicated. And although statistically significant I would not call it a nail in the coffin for multiple variables.

I tried the wonder drug with high hopes for months at over 100mg /ED. No decrease at all. Tamox at just 40mg a day decreased volume of gland by at least 30-40% within a month. However after discontinuing tamox even when estrogen was in check via adex verified through blood work it would inevitably return over time to its typical size.

I agree that he's bad for business.
I can't believe yt is actually letting him advertise and run ads like he is. I see it all the time right now.

I've watched a good bit of his videos to see what he's about and some things are correct but he's very wrong on others imo.

Even worse like I touched on if you try to offer a different aspect of what he said he bans you making it look like he knows the final word. Then you'll have juveniles thinking they don't need to worry about the possibility of taking dbol instead of Anavar and having the just in case tools if that happened.

On another note you was pretty shredded and I don't think you looked bad at all from any gyno aspect.

I’ve seen much worse than that, I wouldn’t of really noticed much had you not mentioned it. I remember going to the pool with a friend and when I saw him take his shirt off out popped a pair of banana-pair shape titties that have haunted me for a decade and a 1/2.

Hes just trying to make a buck, so he wont be wrong on any of his media.

And Thanks brother man.

LMAO.

yea I know it wasnt THAT bad and I too have seen MUCH worse. But I and Im sure many others on here are hyper critical of their physique, to what ever extent the one living with it feels as if its a basket ball on their chest in someones face lol.

UPDATE: 24hrs post op

-Sore today but not bad at all. On a scale of 0-10 Id say a 3. Not even as sore as a decent chest day. Range of motion is restricted, more so out of fear not actual pain tho.

-Minor swelling in the treated area, more so on left side which was the larger gland. Im wearing two ace bandages around my chest for compression. He did not leave me a compression vest and did not say it was needed although I feel its important for the skin to reconnect to the chest wall and keep fluid build up down.

-Dosing 800mg ibprofen as needed

-I took compression off at 7am this morning to have a look. Already very pleased with the outcome, nipples are flat, upper chest sticks out more than nipples now which is what I was after. Incisions look great. Removed ace bandage compression off till 930am but put it back on as I was noticing some swelling.

Will update with pictures tomorrow after Im allowed to shower

Pics look oddly similar to what I’ve had my whole life. I carry a lot more fat tho. I’ll have to monitor symptoms when I cycle and lean out. My E2 has been as high as 62 wit no additional issues.

If you have a fibrous gland you’ll know it. Just pinch it, if it’s hard you got it

Good for you man.
