Hi, I am having surgery coming 13th April 2021. I am looking to buy a compression vest. Do you guys know where can I find it? It's there anything below RM 500. I found some compression vest in shoppee and lazada but scared to buy them. Any advice?

I have been through a lot of embarrassment, that's the harder way to find out.
try to examine your self, flex your chest muscles and see how your chest look.
Is it looks natural like rest or feel like its look weird. either way, go to any clinic just ask for an examination don't be shy.
either way, it's going to be a win-win situation. If you have Gynecomastia you can go for surgery, at least prepare for what to do next.
if you don't have one, it will be a relief.

I am happy to help you, my email rajkrish4489@gmail.com BUT
I suggest you contact the doctor from Penang advent hospital as our friend suggested dannysoh1@gmail.com.
Don't worry you are not alone.

I am doing it on coming to 13th APRIL at PPUM under cosmetic surgery. Yet I need to confirm on 12th April for daycare bed availability. hoping everything comes together.

8 March 2021 9 AM: I went to Klinik Kesihatan at Bandar Botanic since I live in KLANG. I was asked what the purpose of my visit. I just told the nurse 'i want to get a referral letter from the doctor to see a specialist doctor. They give me a number to wait for after took my Body temperature and blood pressure.

Doctor asked the purpose of my visit, I told him that I think I have gynecomastia or hormone problem as per my knowledge. He asked me to took off my shirt to examine my body. I was 80kg at the time, He said it might connect to my weight. I said to him that I have this problem since I was skinny and from my teenage years for the past 15 years. Then he examines again and called another doctor for his advice. They were kinda responsible to give advice and asked my opinion.
Immediately both doctors suggested, go for a blood test and urine test because they suspect I might have "Cushing syndrome" (google about it), check my testosterone level and thyroid. The solution was gynecomastia surgery if I'm ready for it. I said I am ready for it. Initially, they want to send me to HKL but I request him to write to PPUM to the Surgery department.

8 March 2021 1:30 PM: I arrived at PPUM, went to Menara Selatan. Showed my referral letter at the front counter. They give me direction to the surgery department. showed my letter again to the Nurse. The nurse advised me that two departments can be involved in my case: the BREAST surgery department and the plastic surgery department. She said the plastic surgery department is faster compared to the breast surgery department. She said I can get an appointment at 2 pm with a Plastic surgery specialist. she asked me if it ok to proceed with Plastic surgery, I replied I'm ok with it. I paid RM 31.00 for a registration fee.

The doctors called my name, two doctors have examined me. They asked some questions like, for how long I am having Gyno (15 years)? am I a smoker(no)? Do I take steroid(no)? Do I have thyroid(no)? after I answered. I took my shirt off and they examined me. Immediately the doctor said, they go with liposuction and skin removal. Both doctors were very kind to me because I was quite down about my condition. They explained how the process will go and what I should buy before surgery and the prices. The prices they quoted me was RM 2500 and RM 500 for a compression shirt and liposuction tube or needle (not sure about it). They search for available dates since it's covid hard to get the bed. So my operation will be on 13 April 2021.

After that, they asked me to meet anesthesiologists at Level 3 Menara Timur. (an anesthesiologist is a doctor who prepares you and explains the surgery process). After I went there, the nurse booked me for a blood test since I'm young and no heart condition, No ECG or X-ray needed. I went to a blood test on 22/03/2021 and another appointment for anaesthetic on 29/03/2021. I got called that 3 days before my surgery, my surgery was postponed to 27 April 2021 due to bed availability. I went on 26th April to do the covid test and it was negative and the doctor advised me to buy tummy fit to wear it after post OP. After all, I didn't need the RM500 compression vest. The tummy fit (RM 68) does the job.

27th April, I was fasting after 12 am. I arrived at PPUM around 7 am and went to daycare surgery. Nurses asked me to change my clothes and the anaesthesia doctor asked some question and installed a drip on my hand. My surgeon came and drew with a marker and explain the side effects ( swelling, bleeding). I went to the operation theatre sharp at 10 am. I passed out and my surgery is done by 12:30 pm and I woke up around 2 pm. I was under observation and then I was moved to the DAYCARE ward to admit. The draining tube was attached. To be honest I don't know how some of you guys discharged on the same day and did in local anaesthesia. I went with my Fiance who understand my pain, she helped me to buy medicines and paid the bill when I was in surgery. 

It was damn painful after I woke up but IT WAS FUCKING WORTH IT . I was so happy till the pain doesn't bother me. I was smiling and grateful for the decision I made. After 2 days I went to PPUM to remove the draining tube and post-op check-up. I am still recovering, I start to wear jerseys and taking out my shirt with confidence in my own house after 17 fucking years. I was bullied and humiliated by my so-called friends and relatives (but not my own family) never took off my shirt in public after primary school. Fuck those people and fuck that gynecomastia. I hope this will help those who go through this condition. Sorry for the long post.

Cost me around below RM 2000.00
Surgery: RM 300.00
Medicines: RM 50.00
Bed: RM 120.00
Drainage Tube and surgery tools: RM 1000.00
Tummy fit: RM 68.00
COVID test and blood test: RM 50.00
Pre-op and post-op consultation: RM 60.00-RM 90.00 (each time paid RM 15.00)

Do you think we all never do that. First, you read about gynecomastia. This thread begins in 2014, Do follow and understand that, then reply. I go to the gym, I followed a strict diet. I did chest workout heavily, Upper chest, mid-chest and lower chest plus strechting. I didn't see the result as I suppose to. So don't give this advice here.

Nothing wrong with replying and giving suggestions or advice but This is the gynecomastia page not losing weight fat or weight forum. people are going through some difficulties, depression, anxiety, inferiority complex because of gynecomastia. when you give a suggestion 'go gym and build your chest muscle', it's too blunt and old. The newbie isn't asking about bodybuilding advice here to give such a suggestion. People have already given that suggestion and we did it. Again you can give advice or suggestion but at least try to learn about the condition. So many people have followed the thread, done the surgery and tried to build chest. So far the surgery has given a better result.
