Hi everyone,
After almost 15 years of living with this horrible thing, I decided to finally deal with G once and for all.
A little bit of backstory: I was always a bit overweight, although not straight-out fat. A few years ago I got really depressed and balooned to about 270 pounds.
Since last year I started losing weight by exercising and eating well, and I am now at 220 pounds. My breasts, however, remain really big and embarassing, and even though I'm much better conditioned right now I still can't bring myself to practice outdoor sports, swim, run, etc. because I am terrified of having to wear t-shirts in public.
I went to a medic and he told me that I have true Gyno and that surgery is recommended if I want to get rid of the breasts. But since I've been losing weight, he recommended that I wait until I'm lighter to do the surgery.
My current goal is to be at 198 in June and 176 in December.
The big question here is: I know that getting the surgery now would give me a HUGE boost in confidence that could help me be even more active and motivated to take care of myself. However, there is a risk that I'd maybe need a second surgery down the road.
Money is not a problem since my health care covers a good part of the procedure.
What would you do if you were me? Should I wait a little more, since I have already lived for so much time with this nightmare? Or just do it and embrace a "new me" that will help improve every other aspect of my life?
Here is a current picture of me:
