Current age: 22
current weight: 225 lbs
height: 6'3"I have a pretty extreme case, in my opinion. Whether I have gyno--I don't know--it might just be from being sooo heavy and also just extra skin--there does not seem to be much hard material there--but to be honest I don't really know what to "feel" for. Without saying anythign further--the pix (go ahead, laugh, etc.):
As bad as those webcam pics are, they were much, much worse a year ago, if you can believe that!
At 6'4", I tipped the scales at over 330 lbs last May 2004. Then, from May to Dec., I just cut back on food intake--didn't really do *any* exercise of any kind. Weight got down to 270 lbs by the next time I weighed myself, which was late December 2004. By late Feburary, I was down to 230 lbs. I am now 225 pounds. Unfortunately I got ill (flu) in late Feb. and was immobilized for 4-5 days, and I just gave up on it for about five weeks! Sad, sad me!
But i am giong to get back on it tomorrow - and do my psychotic work out routine and also practically starve myself.
What I was doing in terms of exercise from late Dec. 04 to late Feb. 05 was walking four or more hours a day - sometimes 6-8 hours! - and eating pretty much just only light yogurts (about 600 calories or less a day). Extreme, maybe, but when you are that obese - you want to see results - and quickly - otherwise it is discouraging. From that period, my weight went from 270 to 230.
I had been very heavy since I was a little kid - weighed 100 pounds in Kindergarten. By 14, I was 256 pounds. I had had extremely large breasts for a number of years, so I lost 80 pounds approximately over the course of just one summer! I severely restricted my diet and exercised like crazy - riding my bike two to three hours a day as fast as i could - I really have no clue how many miles that was. My weight eventually got down to 165 pounds, which was pretty slender for my height. The boobs did get smaller, but ...they were still there. I cuold wear t-shirts then - even just whtie t-shirts - and you couldn't tell I had man boobs - but you definitely could without the shirt - but there was also an issue of some excess skin and a lot of sagging of waht was there.
My mom had me get some hormone tests and see a plastic surgeon. I even got approved for medical insurance to pay for plastic surgery to have them removed--which is pretty rare, from what I have read. I think it was medicade or medicare as well as my father's insurance -- I don't know which that was. It was years ago. But my father berated me and told me that I was being lazy - that I could get rid of my large man boobs through exercise. Being only 14, I naively believed him, and consequently there was no surgery.
So I took weight lifting and worked out a lot, hoping to eradicate the horrid man boobs. Sorry! No luck -- they stayed - though they were quite a bit smaller than they were before (and are now).
At about age 18, I just gave up. The main reason I had lost weight was because of my desire to get rid of the boobs. I had lost a ton of weight; had worked out a lot in the gym like my dad told me--but they were still there. So I went back to binge eating -- eventually almost doubled my weight by age 21 -- up to 330 pounds. I would eat a whole large pizza for dinner; eat a whole cheesecake for a snack; drink two 2 litter bottles of soda pop a day (that is, a total of 4 litters worth!) - sometimes even more! - rarely less.
If i made macornoi, I would eat two whole boxes by myself. I had given up on my personal appearance, and food was just a source of pleasure to me. I certainly never ate out of hunger...only for pleasure.
Anyway, as indicated, now I have lost 105 pounds in the past year. I would say I have another 60 pounds to go. That's no big deal to me. Over my life time, I have lost 185 pounds collectively (80 when I was 14 and 105 now); it just takes time and energy.
Anyone can lose the weight, though I have to say - it is easier to lose weight when you're really heavy then when you're just like 200 or 220 pounds - because you burn more calories when you are really big. Anyway, I figure I can finish it by the end of the summer.
But I know now that I MUST have plastic surgery. These monstrous little beasts that live on my chest will not go away on their own - duh - like I should have figured that out before! Sadly, I am very poor, but will be able to get student loans to cover the expenses of plastic surgery - but it will take a little time! So I will probably aim for having surgery in December 2005 or else spring break 2006. I am going to try to get medical plastic surgery financing because I have extremely poor credit, so I cannot get credit cards, am only 22, and it would be NICE to have to spend ALL my money on plastic surgery! I doubt I will get approved for this financing though, but it would be a welcome joy if I could. But even if i got financing tomorrow--I am giong to wait until I am down to 165 pounds again. To me -- it just does not make sense to have surgery when you are overweight. And I went and made this commitment to myself that I would not have the surgery until I have lost all my excess weight; I want to make sure I work hard and *earn* it. I also know, from the last time I lost weight, that my boobs will get smaller...which may mean the plastic surgery be done a different way (I dunno!).
If I had the surgery when i was 14 like i wanted to, I never would have gained weight again. For that reason--I really despise my father. He has caused me a lot of undue heartache.
Anyway, I would appreciate any comments you fine folks might have about my case. Does it look like I have gyno?
Anyone know of any good plastic surgeons somewhere on the west coast?
I would probably have to travel by car myself -- too poor for airfare -- so that is why I prefer that geographical region. I would like to get it done for about $2000-$3000 if possible, due to poor fiances - if it is more than taht - I would probably have to wait until spring 2006 or maybe even later! Do you think that plastic surgery will work well with my breasts?
Will they look normal and flat after my surgery?
Am I going to have to have a revision after the first surgery?
Any other comments/advice?
How severe is my case?
