First post: opinions more than welcome

hey guys, i've been around for a few months but this is my first venture into the arena.  here goes

I'm 5 foot 8 170 lbs. had the gyne since around 5th grade.  I keep going back and forth on surgery, and i've already met with a p.s. who said that my "problem" was over half gland and less than half fat.   If any of you had any opinions or a ranking on the 1-10 severity scale, it'd be great.

I don't like to rate but I guess you could try losing some weight before surgery. It will help a lot.

Do you think it's just fat? To be honest, that's what i thought originally and i was a little surprised at what the doc said.  I guess i'd prefer a non surgical option like many people.

the thing is, even if it's just fat, it may not go with diet and exercise. That's why if you are overweight you have to try losing weight first.
