Coping with Gynecomastia Surgery

Coping with Gynecomastia Surgery Male: The day of the surgery was the most scary. I didn’t know what to expect. I have a friend with me. He was my support and showed what if there's a glitch because I have those kinds of fears that I don’t know. I called my buddy a couple of hours after the surgery and I said “men, this is a friend that I honestly gone flat” but the nurse that told that she didn’t yeah. It was very flat. And so, as he went off her worry and I said “look I'm totally don’t flat” and I started crying to this guy and so. Weeks later after they have taken off the bandages, I was totally impressed. There was a huge difference that I can actually sit and wow, wow. This isn't me. Over one completion of this whole surgery and I said “whatever happens, it’s got to be better than what it was” and so as the result of that, I feel better, a little better. There's some steam and self-worthy comes along with completion of the surgery. You did a great job. At 49 years old, I'm like a kid overall again. So its feels like a second childhood, a childhood that nobody can tease me about that—freedom feels like—It’s like I've been in a, I've been chocked up in an area with an elastic bandage of to be able to walk in the street and I was like the bandage has been loosened. I can finally walk around on 100 over the heat of the heat. I love heat today. I'm love going into the swimming pool. I like jumping into the pool and just being myself. Male: I'm going to give a picture of you before and after. What it’s like looking at you before and now? Male: Well, this is the severe pieces. Especially half of the weight gain. But, it was somewhat I like this even when I was cut and chiseled. There's always some protrusion. Male: You’ve never really see the work that you fit out of your chest? Male: No, not at all. Male: And so, if you can say something to that person, what would you say to him now? Male: You know it was alright anyway. It was alright anyway that God doesn’t make any junk in that. Even today as the results of those years and not really expressing myself to God of what I didn’t like about me. I'm still in processing so. I would tell this person that, are you alright, you were okay and that all we needed to do is take some risk and find that we weren’t that suffered from that condition, and so it wasted a lot of years, wasted a lot of years and shame. And Shame base think thoughts and thank you. Male: Your thanked were to about Shame. The Shame is the big issue for men. Male: So the Shame of not being able to go out in public to where I taint up, to go into the swimming pool, to hangout at the beach because of the fact that I was afraid of what the comments would be like. And so, I was able to go out and I would never see those people again afraid of what the comments will be there. And why was I, I wanted to have all the fatty tissues around my—come back and be like him and so, I was always that mine said ha? And when I was cut, I’d like to be like that person and show today what's the different as that becoming to be okay with myself. On the day that’s containing to get in embarrassing, I love you man because it’s a learned. I'm just unlearning some learn behaviors that make things such. Male: So what I’m hearing is there’s a real compassion for this kind. Male: He’s a good guy. Good guy and all his feelings we’re always babbled up. He babbled up and you never know. Male: And it’s amazing how simply making that one change has given such license to be alive Male: Where it gives a little bit of life. Male: Yeah, to a seemingly hopeless situation. Male: It’s a total difference. Total that—my God theirs a total difference, it sure is. Male: I want you to see both at the same time. So it doesn’t get where you were, where you are. Male: And so what brings up for me is what will it — had been like been normal, life is good. Male: Yesterday. Male: Jerome has a remarkable experience; it’s been nothing short of life transformative for him. He’s really delighted with the results of the surgery and he has allowed himself to really be into expressing himself in a new way and this couldn’t have come at better time for him and I think that even he doesn’t understand yet the ramifications of how much this is going to change him being the world. He’s really best possible outcome, I think from psychological perspective in terms of framing him up to do other things in his life and to focus on other things and to really just fairly enjoy his body and being in the world. Male: It’s just a marvelous experience. Male: A little over nine months now since the surgery and I feel great. I feel better surgery it was years ago. It doesn’t seem like I get think of it as with the same year because I feel that body wise developed very nicely. I feel that this is pretty much over. I'm kind of moving on, passed it. I feel it that it has taken away a good piece of what my thought has been about, you know, myself in the body. I think it’s been overall great. It’s great really painless process. I would recommend this surgery. I would recommend Dr. Delgado as well. It really won't be any hesitates of me to recommend this type of surgery. Obviously, it does take a little time away, you know, you do have to take a few days off and but in terms of you know, the risk factors and post surgery, feelings up. There's really nothing about to say about it. Male: It’s been a year now and so what was happened as the result of that surgery is that, you know, I feel a sense of freedom that I've never had before. Freedom to be able to take my shirt off and go wherever I want to go without the feelings of embarrassment or shame or condemnation or being laugh at. And so, I had no idea what to express at my mine was definitely a success. And so, what has happened as the result is started lifting weights in some, kind of got some of my body structure back. I put a little weight this time around. But that’s okay too because it will come off and so, yeah, the surgery was definitely a success. Yeah, I would definitely encourage that too for anybody that was actually going to even think about it a surgery like that. If you're thinking about it, there’s probably something that you need to do. And so, like I said mine wasn’t severe as I've seen some others but it’s definitely, I've had some dramatic changes in my life as a result of the surgery. So it was definitely a success. Male: You know, few months ago, he had surgery with Dr. Delgado and it went really well. I mean amazing how it went well, amazing that was kind of, I guess was in my opinion how you know, winning, very caring staff helped me out with everything. I had surgery, woke up, you know, didn’t have too much pain. Just a little uncomfortableness if you would, you know, it seems like I was a lot better like within a few weeks, more in the last year or in last six months after the surgery around people that I have probably in the last ten years, now just because I feel a lot more comfortable with myself and the way I look and stuff and before I would never take off my shirt. It’s kind of like a whole new of living. I don’t really have to be scared of anything like that, you know, every once in awhile, just take off my shirt and I still kind of feel like oh and I can go oh, you know, and all things look a lot better now. And so, I'm not so uncomfortable by—it just really helped me out a lot, so I recommend it to anybody who’s considering having the surgery done. And anybody who’s struggling with the condition, you know, aside from the physical aspects of what it can do to improve the look of yourself. The emotional aspects are what really has help me out, so I recommend it, I highly recommend it to anybody.
