What a blessing to find you guys! I can still hardly believe that I am writing to you all. The stories, the struggles, I truly do appreciate how each one of you is contributing to this site, and helping make life for those of us struggling with gyne a little more bearable. Thank you!
My expereince with what appears to be a severe case of gyne has become a little more tolerable now that I am in getting into pretty good shape my late 20s. I feel otherwise handsome and confident, have a beautiful girlfriend and a lot of great buddies. But I have been suffering from gyne since 6th grade. I can still remember the humiliating points, laughs, stares, grabs and taunts that would assail me in middle school. In high school, a few guys on the football team singled me out for almost constant mocking and abuse. That was really hard, and I think may have left me with some emotional issues to work through.
That being said, having gyne was also sort of a weird blessing. I think it has helped me become much, much more sympathetic to those who are mocked, humiliated or hurting for whatever reason. And I like that about myself.
However, I think am ready to take the plunge with surgery. After reading a lot about him, I think I am going to schedule an appointment with Dr. Elliot Jacobs. I really like his frequent contributions to this website, and his professional website seems to indicate he has done this quite a lot, and enjoys helping men with this situation.
Can anyone give me some pre-appointment suggestions to think about or consider? Thank you all for being on this journey with me! You guys are the best.
