i got dumped because gynecomastia.. have endo/surgery appointment lined up.

[Deja]

I've had gynecomastia since puberty and have decided to get it removed (mild at best). My surgeon mandated that I get blood work done, specifically an endocrinologist (prior to surgery). I have been a chronic smoker for the past year or so (*********included). It is to my understanding this behavior will skew my blood work.

I have quit smoking both (about a week out). I'm scheduled for my blood work in about ten days in order to clear any underlying causes related to this condition, but afraid that I may be red flagged (essentially quitting smoking for 2 weeks altogether after smoking heavily for about a year).

I have been preforming cardio daily since (med intensity @ 50 min upon wakeup) in means to flush my system, accompanied with a cleaner diet (more greens, fluids, etc).

How long does it typically take for the body to recover i.e. hormones, test/estrogen levels. I must admit a loss in libido.

any thoughts/input/recommendation would be really appreciated.

thanks in advance.

PS: my ex girlfriend was shallow as hell and glad its over. i'm under a time constraint as school is starting soon and would like to have it done before it starts (can start healing, etc) and be ready for a nice bulk this winter.

definitely. i appreciate it, i'll be taking a log of the entire thing (from blood work date well into post-op).

any other ideas? the blood work is gonna run roughly $800 and would hate to be redflagged (hormone levels are all over the place) and have to re-take.

thanks.

Do you know exactly what they are testing for. Is it just basic pre-op bloodwork? If it's just pre-op bloodwork you should be fine unless you have some underlying condition that your not aware of. I would ask your doc what they are testing for.
