getting gyno surgery.. can't lift for awhile.. should i...

[fiz]

What should I do to preserve gains? Im taking lots of glutamine, etc. Also I have some questions for you guys who had the surgery.

For all of you that had minor gyno (little hard lumps) removed.. how long was it till you were back in the game?

How long was it before the swelling and bruising disipated? What can I do to minimize swelling, bruising, scarring?

My birthday is 17 days from surgery.. will I be able to get rowdy and do you think I will be safe to take my shirt off if i'm intimate with anyone 17 days later.. how bad will bruising scarring be?

i had major gyno surgery...puberty gyno..not gear gyno TWICE (ended up with a bunch of scar tissue the 1st time whcih had to be removed)...was out of comission upper body wise for about 2 weeks each time....you can still do legs and abs after a couple of days

dude... I had puberty gyno... and I was working out 10 days after my surgery... I didn't miss a step... my doc said I would have been ok after 7 days... the main thing is to make sure the cutting part is healed up... and my doc did a good job.

Glutamine... I don't suggest it at all... even when not recovering from a surgery.

Mine is puberty gyno.. I'm 18 and haven't done a cycle yet.

How did your bruising and especially swelling look after about 10-15 days, If you wear a t-shirt does it look funny cause your pecs are swolen? Also, I heard your nips look weird for about a month.. like a saucer shape.. is that true?

I'm taking the glutamine to prevent muscle loss... not to help recovery. I'll be taking 20-30g/daily

i just got my surgery

I've heard swelling can take 1-6 months depending how bad it is.

What does your swelling look like.. is it just around the nipple.. can you see it through your shirt?

Also.. how much did you bruise and how bad are your scars?

Swellling after gynecomastia surgery depends on the patient's original problem, surgical technique, how that patient heals, and aftercare. Photographs of typical swelling after gyno surgery that I see can be found here.

Hope this helps,

You'll be wearing a "bro", a bra for men. Its like a band that wraps around your chest and keeps the skin stuck to you so you don't heal so you look like you have saggy loose gramma titty skin.

My nips still look kinda weird. Kinda saucer shaped. It got much better in time, but I still have weird nipples depending on how I move around. Like when I lean over, you see the "cup" around them. Then again, I have the gyno again slightly, so maybe this problem is fixed?

10-15 days, I was okay swelling wise. It hurt, and I couldn't have worked out chest. But I had extensive lypo, and not just the lumps removed. I think you'll be fine in a week if that is the case.

If you're getting a lot of lypo, then that is what is going to keep you out of commission. The tube pokes through your pecs repeatedly. You're going to lose some chest mass.
