Gyno Surgery in Place- What a Relief

**dccopyman** · 06-30-2003, 11:28 PM

Finally, after 4 yrs. I am getting rid of this excess fatty tissue around my chest and nipple area. I thought it would go away with diet and cardio, but even at 165 at 5 11 it was still there. This got me depressed so I talked to my dad. I went to Dr. Nolan Karp here in Manhattan and he confirmed that it is gyno of the fatty, not breast tissue kind. He also confirmed that surgery is the only option since I have had it for four years. Since it is fatty deposits, they will be doing lipouction through two small excisicions on each side- on by the nipple and one by the outer/lower chest. After this I need to stop doing upper body lifts for a month and wear a light vest for a month as well. I am set for sometime before christmas break or before winter recess in janauary. This is so as to not interfere with my football. I am so happy that it is finaal and that I will only have to wait a few months. Has anybody else here had surgery? If so, tell me about it. Oh ya, I've never had ANY other surgery before, does it hurt a ton or what? Also, if you have your before and after pics, show them please. I will show mine since the doctor took before pics today.

**Jandy** · 07-01-2003, 07:14 AM

reading the gyno site, it say surgery can cost anywhere from $5000 to $10000 after the surgery, OR time, medication, vest, and anesthesia

holy ****, thats pretty ****en expensive

**Jandy** · 07-01-2003, 07:21 AM

No such thing a cheap surgery. It's the anesthesia, $250 an hour!, medication, vest, and OR rental time that get the most expensive, if you only had to pay for the DOCTOR'S time it would be between $1500 and $2500

**dccopyman** · 07-01-2003, 09:57 AM

It's like $5,600. They break it down by surgery, vest, meds, anesthesia (sp?), as well as consultation. You are awake during it, but like "twilight zone" is what the doc said. He said you don't feel it, but you are like semi-conscious.

**andy1** · 07-01-2003, 11:01 AM

damn thats something id like done but out of my price range big time

**chrisdevos** · 07-01-2003, 11:33 AM

Does insurance cover at least some of it?

**Beachbum1546** · 07-01-2003, 06:23 PM

so it wasn't breast tissue but fat deposits? it sounds like you are just lipo'ing some fat from your chest rather than removing gyno. how low of bf did u go down to? were u able to obviously see all 8 abs and still have fat tits?

cuz i always stored alot of fat on my chest but when i cut to really low bf (8%) i could see all 8 abs and then lastly my tit fat came off. they say tit fat is the hardest to lose and the last to lose. personally i think you could remove it with just a super strict diet like me but if you feel surgery is your only option thats cool. i dont know whats exactly is going on some take my assumptions of you with a grain of salt.

peace.

**Jandy** · 07-01-2003, 10:40 PM

Insurance will most likely not cover it.

No, there are two types of actual gyno- breat tissue deposit and fat deposits. I am an endomorph so losing fat is pretty hard for me. I figured when I got very lean that it would go away. I got to 11% bodyfat and still had very noticeable. So at that point I knew nothing further could be done and I decided to bulk up again.

**andy1** · 07-02-2003, 06:33 AM

have you ever thought of going under 10% bf bud? People are differenent but i know for me, 11% and 9% i look alot different.

peace

**MYNAMEIZGREG** · 07-02-2003, 07:13 AM

I would've tried to get as low as possible first. But, you have already made your decision so good luck with your surgery.

could you easily see all 6 or 8 abs? if not then your bf wasnt low enough to really see how much tit fat you could lose by diet alone.

All I can say is I can't wait to get my surgery! This **** is ****ing ridiculous! I have a good body but I can't stand taking my shirt off.
