Wow mate, looking awesome! Flat as a pancake, and it looks like you haven't even had surgery the way it has healed already! Looks like you got the bloody compression vest we all know and hate, yep - it's tight! That side profile is awesome, great results.
Thanks Adam, appreciated! I am loving the term "flat as a pancake"! My incisions are less severe than I could have ever anticipated. Dr Levick is simply an artist. I've took some photos to highlight this below, please accept my sincere apologies for the jungle, and for anyone who doesn't want to see the incisions!
You must be a) relieved b) pleased as punch to uncover those results mate, looking great I have to say, now start trying tee shirts on n stuff, you've earned it my friend
I usually rocked a large due to the gyne, not anymore, nice tightish mediums for me from now on. Plus I'm in pretty much no shape at all, but still look a million times better with no gyne, didn't realise how heavy my whole chest area was, with the fat and all. Happy Days mate, nice one.
It's almost as if I've been given a totally new wardrobe, as I'm not scared to wear
anything anymore. I'd be willing to bet others feel exactly the same. It really is crazy how much difference it has made - the physical changes are obvious but my mental attitude has completely altered as well.
I was anxious taking the bandages off, Nipper, truth be told. As I mentioned, I had feelings the whole thing wouldn't work at all. Thanks for your support
Now onto a wee update and some pictures.
Day 7 Post Op - Back to workI'm an office dweller so coming back to work is not the most challenging of undertakings but still proved somewhat uneasy. With the compression vest on, I felt a little restricted for some of the day, and on occasion had to fiddle with the vest to make it more comfortable. It doesn't restrict breathing or play on my mind for very long, just a sense of "knowing" that it is on me.
Luck would have it I'm the one who has to be at the door when 40 bags of sugar are delivered. Luckily the courier managed to wheel it into the office for me, so I managed to move them to where they needed to go by myself. I was lifting and didn't feel anything on my chest, which was a relief.
Mobility is getting much better, as always, as the days roll on, and I'm managing to stretch higher all the time. Stretching out is fine, never really had a problem with that. Still feel the "pull" when I try and put my jacket on, but again, this is improving with time.
I'm still struggling to get the stickyness off my body, I've washed twice and tried scrubbing with different chemicals. Advice welcome.
Sorry for being a bit picture heavy, friends and family are also tracking this thread so it makes it easier for me to show them, too.
Most importantly though, is that the pictures are here to help gyne sufferers make a decision.
Loving this profile now...
Oh, and one I found which I posted when I first joined this forum;
