YES!!!!!!!

[rage.against.the.machine]

Just had a consultation today with a Doctor in my hometown, London, Ontario.  He talked to me about gyne after taking a look at my chest, saying things that I had mostly found out about in the research I did.  He was very proffessional and I am so glad I had the appointment.  I have scheduled my surgery a couple days before the march break so that I can use that week to recover and hopefully be feeling way better by the time school rolls around!!!!!  I AM SOOOO GLAD@!!@!@  and also, a sweet bonus, because I'm 17 (under 18) I am covered and I don't have to pay a penny for the operation!!!!!!!!!  Another plus is that my case is pretty mild, so I should be fine after the op.

I would like to thank my family, gynecomastia.org and my under armour compression shirt for all of the support

Yes, I am also interested in knowing where you are getting this done in London and the name of the surgeon.

Please provide more information as I am in the same boat as you.

id rather not say my docs name, to stay anonymous, ask your family doctor to point you in the right direction and get u a conceltation

[confused_satisfaction]

oh.. i wasnt trying to your doc

i just had my surgery last thursday so i was just curious if it might have been the same person

[George Pope, M.D.]

Rage,

If you have had a good experience with a doc, and someone in your area would benefit from a consultation with him/her, you should share the doc's name.  That's what this forum is all about.  Don't worry about anonymity - it's not like the doc is going to tell anyone you came in - that's all confidential.  No one will know who you are.

Dr. Pope, M.D.

[Pacifico]

Dr. Pope is right!  You have nothing to worry about.  Who was your doc?  We are here to help eachother, not hide from eachother.

[Grandpa Bambu]

I'm curious now also!  I mean, sure, we have to respect the wishes/rights of others, but what's the big deal here? As Dr. Pope mentioned, it's all confidential dude...

I'm also in the same boat. Although I'm older than 18 so I would have to pay.
I would also like to know the name of your doctor. And any other info you could give me! Thanks.

Kk, the doctor's name is Dr Girvan, and he also is the one who did my surgery when I was young for a hernia.
