I want to Have surgery!!!!!

[Hefner33]

I think i can convince my parents to have surgery i need to know alittle more about this. Can i start lifting like within the next week or what? I am just worried about the waiting times, and the long term affects after surgery. I really need this surgery and think i need it too. I have the money i just need to know more about and and convince my parents.

You wont be weightlifting for a few weeks atleast.. In the chest area especially, if you feel any degree of stress or pain, you don't want to continue. Honestly.. Who cares about the weight lifting? You suffer with gyne for years.. Whats a few month, you know. Send your parents to this site or any of the others. Maybe they should talk to their family doctor id they need to be educated, or a plastic surgeon.

i have to lift every week thats the thing

Why? Are you competing, or OCD?

Allow me to rephrase.. Cause HAVE is a funny word.. Here are your three options.


Do you want to lift weights and have gyne? (no surgery)
Lift weights post surgery and screw it all up?
Have surgery, wait until your Plastic surgeon tells you it's ok then go back to weight lifting?

There is one obvious positive answer. No way around it either. Weight lifting may be important in your life.. Maybe very important. But, if you have gyno.. You aint showing off the results anyways.

yeah man the reason why you're working out is because you want your body to look good and thats prob why you want to get this surgery! i know its hard to even think about not working out for a few weeks but in the end your results will be great. Also it can actually be a good thing to take a break and let your body for awhile

Just as an FYI, there have been many studies that conclude that no muscle mass/strength is lost for up to 6 weeks of not lifting weights.  Muscle memory is a very powerful thing.  So, going 4 weeks without lifting isn't going to kill you.  Yes, you could make a lot of gains in 4 weeks, but in the end you'll be glad you just got the surgery and took 3-4 weeks off from lifting.  Sometimes sacrifices need to be made to get what you want.  It's all up to you...
