Ques. for those who had gyno surgery

[Dr_Diabolical]

Alright bros, I go under the knife in about a month.
For those who have also, how long were you out of lifting and what kinds of muscle/weight loss did you experience?

1 more thing, since I am currently on Nolva could I just discontinue it since I am getting the gyno removed?

And after surgery will I still need nolva? (i am thinking clomid only will be fine from now on)

Bump for info

I'm not an expert about this, but a couple of my buddys have had the surgery and it wasn't as big a deal as most people make it out to be, as for how long they were out of the gym for, if memory serves me correct it was about 3-4 weeks?

have you checked into lypo at all? i had a bro that was going to get it for his gyno $2,000 per site, so 4k.

Recovery depends on how bad the gyno is. I had 2 procedures because the doc didn't get the entire gland the first time. But because he took so much out the first time recovery was painful. I had my chest rapped tight for 2 weeks so blood wouldn't accumulate. It's either that or they put in a temp tube allowing for drainage. Not fun.

Def. depends on how bad the gyno is. I have had my right gland removed when it just started flaring up the first time around 6 years ago. It was about the size of a marble under my nipple but hurt like hell. Could not sleep on my stomach or be touched at all around that area.

Since mine was so small they just removed the nipple and sliced the gland out....outpatient surgery and my insurance picked up everything but $50, since it occurs "naturally" in some males.

Was only out around 1.5 to 2 weeks to let the nipple reattach...not much pain either. But now I have the shit in the left nipple, so I will have to have it done again I guess!!

Gyno is fatty tissue caused by increased estrogen levels...so I have heard it can come back. If you do anohter heavy cycle, I would recommend taking the anti-e's

[Dr_Diabolical]

If I get the gland removed and the fatty tissue comes back, would and anti-e such as nolva reduce the "puff"

have you tried novladex yet? i recently had marble size lump behind both nipples the right was the worst.. this was comming off a test enat cycle... although im very prone to gyno all i had to do was take 2 10mg nolvadex tabs daily for around 3 weeks and its completely gone now

Bro, I'm not an expert on this subject but I'm pretty sure if you get the gland removed then you can not get gyno again. Have any of you heard this as well?

Quads

What about Proviron? does this do the same as the Nolvadex?

[Ivan]

Proviron is a weak choice for an anti-E, it is at best used to strengthen a cycle, as it is almost all androgen there...it saved me when I took fina with no test, got the libido kick started.....it will also compliment any cutting cycle.

I have also heard that if you have the gland removed that you can't get gyno again. I don't know for sure, but I have heard it.
