My Gyne Surgery Before/After THOUGHTS PLZ

[SmokeyNYY]

Thanks Dr. Elliot and Paws.  I have lost about 10 pounds since the surgery and I am going to start hitting the gym up daily starting today.  I feel great.

[George Pope, M.D.]

Your results will only get better with time.  The small lump on the right side that you feel will most likely go away; if not, be sure to mention that to your plastic surgeon.
Hitting the gym will firm up your chest appearance and help your belly even more.  Congrats on the weight loss!  Keep it up!

OK guys here are the two month pics.  I have been working out for 2 hours each day since 11 days ago with 2 days of rest.  45 minutes cardio-45 minutes weights and 30 min swimming laps.  I plan to continue this workout regimen until I get very defined.  The scars on my nipples are still  noticeable.  Other than that you can't tell I had surgery.  Anyone know how long it will take for the scars to start to fade? Thanks. Thoughts of course are appreciated.

Looking good -- glad you have lost weight and are exercising -- it will onbly enhance the results.

The scars usually fade -- but it takes many months, don't be impatient.  Only precaution is to apply sunblock if you expose the scars to direct sunlight.

Hey guys.  Its been awhile since I last posted.  Here are some updated pictures about 14 weeks from surgery.  I still have been going to the gym 6 days a week for around 2 hours.  My chest is starting to develop a bit, but still have a long way to go.

Overall I am very pleased with the results.  The scars are still there however they are slowly fading away.  Responses appreciated of course.

Have you started doing any chest exercises ?

Thanks!

Yes I have been doing chest exercises.  I do chest/shoulders/tri's, then next day biceps/back, and then next day core/legs.  And then back to chest/shoulder tri's and so forth.  I have already gone from like 60 bench press (I know pathetic but hard after surgery) to 105 in around 7 weeks. All natural no testosterone.  I am scared to death to do anything with testosterone in it.

You're an inspiration.

congrats friend, looking forward to updates in the future

[SmokeyNYY]

So it has been two months since my last update and 23 weeks overall since my surgery. Time for an update!!!!  I have continued to workout around 5-6 days a week for 2-3 hours.  My abs are finally coming in!  My chest still needs a lot more work though.  I am down to around 165 lbs. My goal is to get to 160. Maybe 155 if I really am going to go for the 6 pack.  I hope I can be motivation and inspiration for some people.  If I can do it anyone can. Trust me!

Just went through this entire thread. Incredible. You have completely kicked ass and inspired many, many people. I hope you will stay on here from time to time and help people find the drive they need to make a difference in their lives.

By the way I am 5 weeks post op. Healing nicely but have noticed a crease on right side. Yours looks to be completely gone. Besides your weight loss and muscle gain is there anything else you did to mitigate the appearance of the crease?
