Hi

          I'm going under the knife with the NHS this wednesday. I have gyne on one side and am bricking it.

I dont know what to expect all I know is that I have been told to book a week off work, reading some of the posts on here that doesnt seem long enough!!!

Can any one tell me what to expect? I am 6'4 not over weight. My gyne is not massive but I have to tape it down to stop it from being visible whilst wearing shirts etc. I dont go swimming or any where I have to take my top off in front of people.

This has been a long time coming, about a year and a half of going back and forth with my docs and the surgeon but the nerves and the second thoughts are creeping in.

Any help will be most helpfull.

D

My Surgeon is Dr. Royle at the royal south hants in southampton.

dude go for it, dnt worry.  think of it dis way no matter how it goes, u will probably never have to tape that side of yr chest down again.  and it will probably look great.  stay positive about it,  if u gna worry do it after u had it, not b4.

Depends what your job is. If its active then maybe a bit more, but if its office or something of that nature then a week would proably be ok. It said in the brochure i had that some people return to work the next day following the procedure, but try to take a week off to rest. Just bear in mind you will have restrictive movement in your arms for about 10 days so lifting over your head would be problematic.
