The Surgeon would have to be a real butcher to cut off muscle cells. As you work out you aren't growing new muscle cells, your muscle tissue is growing larger.

Just remember that after the surgery you will not be able to do intensive workouts for a while. (Especially chest workouts like bench pressing...) So if you are planning to bulk, you either want to do it before the surgery or WAY after. (On second reading, seems you are already doing the former... Oh whatever, i'll keep this here anyways.)

If anything, the only real worry you should have is losing muscle mass during the recovery period.  ;)

Good Luck dude.

I just quit lifting for about seven weeks after my gyne surgery. After a few workouts with lighter weight to make my muscles remember; I was able to bench press 225#x13 which is about what I was at before. The same goes for military press 170#x15.

It is so great to be able to see a flat muscular chest now.  :)

This is a question that you should be asking your Doctor.
