hey everyone,

so it feels like its been years since i last visited this board... although in reality i guess its only been a month or two..

anyway i'm just popping back in to say that i'm about 4 months post-op, and i have never felt so good about myself in my entire life.

having surgery has definitely been one of the best decisions i have ever made. at first (when i was post-op) i use to wake up in the morning and look in the mirror in disbelief, but now i have almost completely forgotten about the fact i ever had surgery... im just living life the way it was supposed to be lived in the first place.

no more waking up in the morning figuring out how to hide my chest... no more walking through the mall only to pick out clothes that will hide my body properly... now i can wear whatever i want... and i have never felt so confident... i have returned to my hardcore gym routine, have slimmed down about 15 pounds, and am putting on some significant muscle mass.

i dont slouch anymore, i stand up tall when im talking to people, and i cant wait for it to be summer again so i can go back to those white t-shirts

anyway, to anyone who is considering surgery... my advice is go for it!

Not the best advice if your assumption is that all surgeries will work out as well as yours did.

Good point Graham.... However, the risk of surgery and surgery results is a small price to pay to be Moob free...
The chances of a surgery going wrong are purdy slim. I've been on this Site for almost a year now and from what I've seen, the success stories far outweigh the botch jobs...

It is reading peoples accounts like this, that give me the strength to deal with my Gyne day to day. I have finaly saved enough money for surgery and will be flying out to poland in 7 weeks . I can't wait.

I am really pleased for you and i hope you have loads of fun buying them new white t-shirts....lol
I am the same, the fashion in the U.K is all these slim fit indie t-shirt but i cant wear one as i am to aware and self conciouse of my gyne .....i think what makes it worse is i am toned everywhere else...so it stands out more on me ....boo hoo.....lol
Bring on the surgery and the new t-shirts!!!!
I am sick of being the only plonker in my town who wears a jacket during the summer .

Thanks for the kind words everyone... I would never have gone through with it if it wasn't for this board.

Nice to see some familiar faces.... glad you're still around helping people out Bambu...

And of course there is graham_ashe still being the eternal pessimist  

Also, as some have pointed out, we don't hear much from those who've had the surgery some time ago. We don't really know how they are 6 months to a year down the line. We can, of course, assume it worked out perfectly for them and use that data to say that surgery works out for the best most of the time.

I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic with your last sentence there, but I do think it's a good assumption. I think it's very safe to say that if someone had surgery and then dissapeared, chances are they are living a happy, gyne-free life. Perhaps some people just want to put the whole ordeal behind them.

In reality, the people who DO have problems post-surgery are the ones who come right back here to post about them.
