Guys who've had gyno surgery - how long till you trained intensely and cycled?

[TrojanBB]

Well, I have gyno surgery on the 29th. Mine was pubertal, I've had it for 7 years.

My doc said not to lift for two weeks. What are your experiences with training and surgery? Did you get back into the gym within a week and squat or did you completely abstain from lifting?

Also, how long did you guys wait till you cycled on? (or did you not even come off? I'll be off until at least a week afterwards).

Thanks!

ive read most guys are sidelined for 2 months out of the gym after gyno removal.

I didn't train at that time in my life, but I could do push-ups the same day.

Mine was also pubertal.

One of my friends recently had it done. He got gyno removed and stomach area contoured with liposuction. The stomach was a harder recovery for him then the actual gyno. His schedule was,

1 week no lifting
1 week of light, machine exercises that avoided stretching the chest
2 weeks of light workouts, everything.

By week 5, he was ready to go, and slowly started working his way back up to normal again. He was on growth hormone the whole time, started cycling AAS 6 weeks or so after the surgery.

For everyone who has had the surgery, are you pleased with the results? Also, have u had any signs of gyno since?

I had mine done last sept and love the results but i have seen some very bad surgeys do the research on your DR. If you just have the side of your nipple cut and the gyno removed i would say a few weeks. If you have that done and your chest lipoed like i did you will be out for a min of a month i took 5 or 6 weeks. it is not thr removal that puts you out it is the lipo.

I read the story whe ben white got his donr and he just had local done and it cut out and he said he was back in gym next week.

it took my chest and nipples a good 4 or 5 months to look normal again. i could not feel my nipples for a long time but it is better now. But all that said i spent around 5500 and it was the best money i have ever spent love my chest now

Interesting. I guess it all depends on the individual. Sounds like I'll have to play it by ear and just see how I feel after a couple weeks.

5 months to look normal though? Is it that bad looking 3-4 weeks after the surgery? Like will I be embarrassed going boating shirtless? I can't see it looking worse than it does now, to be honest.

Not worse just takes a while for all the trapped blood and fluid to disapate. Took me about 4 months aswell. losing as much body fat as possible doesnt hurt.

7-10 days for anything but chest. Take a few weeks off chest
