Hey guys, finally saw the surgeon today. He didn't dismiss me as I suspected; actually he was very understanding. I showed him my results and he said he saw a huge improvement (my father agreed) and I can expect it to get better. He said from both sides they removed about 30-40 GRAMS of breast tissue. Is that a lot? I showed him how I looked in a T-shirt (I had walked in with a button down shirt over one) he agreed that it still looked a little off. We all agreed that I looked better with my shirt off then with a T-Shirt on. He mentioned that he had patients in the past that were treated too "aggresivley" and ended up with inverted nipples. Also, he suggested a visit in September.

All in all I was satisfied with the visit. My surgeon even assured me that he wasn't trying to "cop out" of anything and my father said he seemed like a "straight shooter". I think the reason I didn't notice my improvement was because I had been seeing it everyday from the surgery as opposed to my surgeon and father seeing it once before and once two months after. I now have new hope that my results will further improve.
Please, Jesus, make my gyne go away!

I'm really glad to see that you're not so down about it anymore.  It is true that someone can barely notice significant changes made to his body over time as he does see it every day.  That's why it's a good idea to keep a photo log of your changes over time.

I hope things continue to improve for you.

Blarney - what does he want to accomplish at the September appt.

I'm not saying you need it.  I repeat, i'm not saying you need it, but did the word revision come up?

When you going to lifeguard school?

Sounds like you have a cool dad.
