: : I'm wondering if theres any Canadians here who have got gyno removed? I talked to one
: : plastic surgeon and was told that it IS covered by the provincial health care.
: : That was in Alberta, but I now live in Sask. anyone know if it covered?
: : Also, anyone know of someone competent enough to do it? It's gotta be in Canada
: : if its going to be covered, but if its not covered, then I guess I'll have to live with it for
: : a few more years, and then go to Dr. Nadler.
: : One more thing...anyone whos had the surgery, how long before you can train chest again?
: : Thanks for any help.
: : Jeff
: Dr. Nadler is not the only one who can do a subutaneous mastectomy! Just make sure your
: plastic surgeon has some experience with this procedure. Also, if it's not too bad, the
: gyno can be suctioned out--very similar to liposuction.
: Keep up the fight

I had a friend who had it removed here in montreal by a surgeon and it took him about a good month and a half before training chest again. It is not that complicated since he is the second one who had this removed from different
surgeons and both did a good job. Here in Quebec it is covered. Good luck
