First post.

This is my first post. I'm 17 I've been dealing with gynecomastia for a few years now, maybe five?  I was diagnosed with unilateral gyne in November-ish of '05 after my mom asked our family doctor about it. (I had been telling her that there was something up with my chest, but she never believed me..) I've always been self-conscience, I'd never go swimming, and I'd always walk with one arm over my left side (the side with gyne).  I'm going in for surgery on Thursday March 9th.  Then, I'm going on homebound from school.  Hopefully, I'll return around the 22nd.  My insurance is covering most of the surgery, it's some sort of military insurance. I've been reading this forum for a while and I just wanted to thank you all for posting your stories and experiences, it's helped me to not fear this surgery!
