I'm 1 week post-op now but I don't feel ready to do a lot of running yet. I am now able to move my arms freely without having the feeling I'm stretching wounds or causing pain from bruising. You should probably count on 4-6 weeks before doing anything near that intensive. But that's just my opinion.

Hey, you're welcome.

I had most of the both glands removed and liposuction as well. It's now 11-12 days ago that I had the surgery and I have no pain. There is no swelling anymore and my compression vest has actually become a bit too large so I'm going to ask the doc for a smaller one. Everything is going perfect, there was no excessive bleeding, drains went out 2 days after surgery (which hurt a bit), swelling was minimal and has pretty much disappeared since day 6.

I think especially when you're in shape like you are, this kind of surgery probably goes very well. The doc liposuctioned my chest to the muscle, there is not an ounce of fat left in there and I think the bleeding was minimal cause being in shape somehow minimises the impact of the surgery when it comes to veins and what not.

Just my two cents.  I had surgery on Jan 31, 2014.  I had excision and a bit of lipo. I had drains in for 11 days, which was pretty standard.  I was told at my 4 week post op I was able to start working out again which I did.  The doc told me at that point, there was nothing I could do that would have any negative impact on the surgery but that the discomfort would be what I could tolerate.  I have continued to work out on a regular basis.  I do notice soreness near my nipples and on the sides of my pecs where he routed the drain tubes to exit in my armpits.  I am in construction so my job is very physical and I am very active outside of work.  I am 6' and weigh 155 lbs, so I consider myself to be pretty fit.  Almost 3 months later and I do not think I would want to take a direct hit to my chest as it would be pretty painful.  Sometimes when my kids bump me or we are horsing around and I get bumped, it still takes my breathe away when I get hit there.  I know we all have different healing rates and a lot of people say the surgery was a breeze but, for me, I realized this surgery was no joke.  I don't mean to discourage you from the surgery as I would do it all over again, but thought I would share my experience.
