Man Boobs

[toothdoc 0]

I am scheduled for surgery April 7, 2009. I got distressed when I looked in the mirror to see my man-boobs. People tell me I am not over weight enough to warrent lap-band surgery. What can I do post-op to convert breasts to a chest?

Hey,

There is a good article on what to do to tighten up the chest in this months Men's Journal with Bear Gryll from man vs. wild on the cover. It is only one page, but a good workout and food recommendations.

Thanks, I'll check it out. Do you know anything about the P90X tapes and 90 day workout?

No, I have not heard of that before. I have found that the workouts on Men's Heath Belly Off Club really help.

The moobs are usually just excess fat, and when your overall body fat percentage drops they will fade away. Add to that a normal chest building workout and you should be fine in time.

There are some guys who have an estrogen/testosterone imbalance that causes the breasts to grow. This requires some medical intervention. You should be able to get tested by your primary care doctor to check for this. A simple blood test is all it takes.

P90x is a great tool, but some of it is really hard. If you stick to it, you will see amazing results. I have them and I love them.
