Hey thanks for all the responses guys. The whole excited about being cut open thing was suppose to be sarcastic. Text just doesn't translate that too well. I lost the weight thanks mainly to a competition with a co-worker. I was able to drop weight before from just dieting, but this time around i was very serious to beat my co-worker in this competition. He constantly runs his mouth and is a s**t talker, we get along real well so it kinda helped fuel this little endeavor. Basically we set a date to see who would lose the most by that date and we kept it up publicly at work. We also had a judge who monitored our weight-ins so that nothing was being messed with. The end prize was a 100$ gift card. The funny thing was we got to the end of the competition, i won, and we were both just so happy with the results we didn't even care about the prize. The only down side to my endeavor so far was the summer. I got swamped with work and discontinued my workout routine but i did continue to eat very healthy. Before the summer though i was going to the gym 4-5 times a week, focusing mainly on cardio and then doing lifting, primarily focusing on chest workouts. I am finally getting a steady routine of going to the gym again. I would say 80% of my weight loss was just changing what i ate, serving sizes, etc. I ended the competition at 200lbs, i lost the last 20 lbs just on eating right. So it took me all summer of eating right to lose 20lbs. Also as i side note i do drink beer/mixed drinks on the weekends, usually only friday/saturday night. I wear underworks compression vests daily since 2005, I would recommend them to anyone on this board it totally boosted my confidence when going out, it just trickey explaining them to women and friends if they happen to catch a glimpse of one. I just tell them it's underarmor and i don't like wearing wife beaters because they are too rough on my nippies. The usually just blow it, but i make sure never to put one on or take one off in-front of anyone because you can sometimes have some trouble.
As far as the hard tissue goes, i am not 100% sure. When i went for my consultation it felt like the dr grab a gland like thing when we have feeling around. I can push my nipple in and there doesn't seem to be anything hard behind it until i get to where my breast muscle is. I do have those larger nipples which everyone with gyne seems to have. Now when i grab the breast itself it feels alittle hard but i am not sure if thats just the skin being put together that i am feeling.
This is great feedback, i am just little nervous now since my date is Dec 18th and there is no turning back. I know they will be asking for the money soon hehe. I was all gungho about this until friends and family started making comments asking me if i really need it because im looking alot better. So i figured i would ask people who have been down my road and have seen many more cases.
Thanks for the input,
Chris
