Ive just made the first step in getting rid of my gynecomastia.  Called fieldings office and have a consultation on july 3.  I was planning to have my surgery around that time, but i guess not.  Anyways i was just wondering when some of you went for consultation when the dr said you could have surgery, 1 week, 2 weeks...etc.

Congrats!   However, July 3rd is a Sunday. Are you sure of that date? JCF usually does his consultations on Mondays. Maybe you are scheduled for the 4th....

My pre-op consultation is one month after my first visit and my surgery date (june 24th)is a month after my pre-op. I guess it depends on how bad you gyne is. Plus its the summer time. Maybe he is taking a few days off. So many tts so little time. :P

Hey Transam79.
November seems like a long time. If you live in Southern Ontario then why dont you give Dr. Fielding a call? Even if you live outside of Ontario it still makes good sense to give Dr. Fielding a call. You don't need a refferal! The good Dr. and his only Sec. will answer all of your questions. Dont put your ttts in the hands of a surgeon who does it once in a while. Get it done right. Anyhow, welcome to the site. Everbody here understands what you going through and are willing to help.

10-4 :P

I was wondering as well, does hormones play a part because my testostorone was low and some other hormone was a little high. Iwas wondering if anyone else was like this and if so could hormone therapy work
