 How are we doing? Welcome back to the channel. Welcome back to another video. My name is Jacob and As you've probably seen by the title today is all about updating anyone out there wondering where I'm at and what my my chest looks like six years and in two days time two months on from the day that I went under the knife Under local anesthetic and got to my memory glands dissected and removed from my body Which is something that I've always wanted Did I know that the recovery was going to go as terribly as I did absolutely not but no one does and looking back now I'm super glad that I did vlog of that experience because it has helped a hell of a lot of people out there and I continue to get comments and questions and All that are viewed of course on my content around that subject and so today Because I've got a comment recently asking, you know, what does it look like six years later? It kind of made got me thinking, you know, but why don't I? Next time I'm in the gym bust the camera out and try and give you guys a Realistic look at what it looks like Now my recovery was was terrible But I made certain mistakes along the way the first of which was taking the drains out too early because I was interstate and I had to travel back home or at least I didn't have to but I wanted to I want to get back home as soon as possible gave myself three days to recover jumped on a plane and The rest is history by day six or seven. I developed massive hematomas They stuck around for a long time But After about a year and a half or two years The discoloration underneath the skin finally went away and now six years on there is no discoloration But in saying that number one my nipples are completely numb and Number two they if I if I brush something really hard against them They are super sensitive and really sore Really sore now, you know, I can lay on the carpets or lay on my stomach in bed and you know Run and jump and play sports and do all that kind of shit without any pain whatsoever But if something brushes them hard enough and like the wrong way It really really hurts. So those are two things that I wanted to mention The discoloration of course that really fucked with me for a good two years But you know, I'm in the gym. I've just finished an arms workout and I thought you know what six years on Let's do a bit of an update. So That's exactly what I'm going to do now because I think I mean I'm kind of I'm kind of confused as To exactly what type of content I should I should bring to the channel I'm kind of between, you know between video series and I'm focusing a lot of my attention on my other channel, which is cool. It's okay to talk Feel free to go and subscribe. The link is down in the description below I'm actually like that channel is about mental health. It's about addiction and it's also about challenging challenging myself specifically 30 day challenges and at the moment, I'm on day 27 of a Challenge where I've counted my calories every single day for 30 days. So I'm on day 27 of that and I've shaped up and so that's another reason why I feel good enough to make this video because I am in better shape than I was 30 days ago And I'm in a hell of a lot better shape than I was 1696 months a year ago. In fact a year ago. I was balls deep in a vicious cycle of alcohol addiction and so for the last three months at least if not longer I've been battling Battling physically and mentally to get my body back to get my health back And to feel within you know a good enough headspace to finally start creating content on this channel again So here we are This is it. Good to be able to smile. This is it guys Now what I will say after getting lean really lean in 2020 and now getting you know relatively feel as if My my glino case was small in comparison to a lot of others, but At the end of the day, it was still there and when the doctor showed me the gland it was pretty much the size of a golf ball So I pretty much had a golf ball sized Gland which doesn't matter how much dieting I was going to do it was never going to go away and it fucked with me And so the main benefit guys of getting the surgery Haven't gone through the recovery as shit as it was is that it doesn't fuck with me anymore I can wear any top I can wear any color Any fabric type and it does not bother me and that was worth the price alone like I would have gone through a year's worth having hematomas for that to happen honestly because it just fucked with me and you know if it had gone on any longer, I may have gone to the extremes of Wearing a sports bra or taking my nipples down some shit like that and no one should have to go through there Right, so while I waited until I was 27 years old I wanted to make the decision with a mature mind Even though I'm probably still not mature and I made that decision and I went through it now today's video is all about just giving you guys a look and That's what it looks like as you can see the discoloration has all but gone Now it doesn't matter how late I get I tend to Hold a little bit of fat like underneath here and underneath here and also here and I think that's genetic genetically Disposed around my body my chest was never the leanest part of my body but You know like I said before it didn't matter how late I got because the gland was never going to go away Yes, there are things you can do to reduce it such as reduced body fat or Pinching nipples or you know only take your top off when it's cold outside, but who wants to fuck around with that? That's bullshit. No one should have to go through that. I think the biggest barrier to for a lot of people The biggest barrier to get in the surgery is the money and I feel like you will get what you pay for I feel like you definitely going to want to go to a surgeon locally so that you can recover Well at home and also so that you can go back to him if you have any complications such as I did So by all means guys look back in my video library. I've got an entire playlist titled gyno surgery or gonna come ask you There's information videos. There's my vlog series of course and this particular video will be the latest in that series so Don't be afraid I would say wait until you're at least 18 19 20 just to see exactly, you know, how you should how your chest develops You know, try and add on a little bit of muscle before you go through the surgery like this and try to get in as leaner and as lean of A body fat as possible prior to going in it's gonna reduce the risk of the doctor cutting, you know, too much fat out And just focusing on that gland. I mean a surgeon a surgeon it should be qualified should be experienced enough to not make that mistake But, you know, the fatty or The least obvious the gland is going to be so Those are my thoughts and my thoughts alone But it was about time I did this like I really couldn't be happy with the The result now six years on and six years is just gone like that And I mean I could have quite easily put the surgery off and put it off and put it off and still be dealing with these these Mindfucks that's having gyno doesn't matter how big or small your cases will give you as a man We're not meant to have breasts. Okay. I still haven't taken any steroids for my entire life I'm 33 if I get to 40 And I still haven't I think that'll be a miracle I feel like I'm getting closer and closer to just, you know experimenting with a small dose and just seeing, you know, how that feels as a man with physiological levels of testosterone and that I Will bring to the channel. I'll bring that that that experience to the channel. I feel like you guys Will be interested and I'll certainly be interested good bad or ugly. We'll see what happens I haven't done it yet, and I don't have any plans on it in the immediate future But like I said, I get to 40 and I haven't done it. I think that's a miracle. Thanks for watching guys Welcome back to the channel And I'll see you the next one
