Man Boobs

This morning, I read a humorous article titled Man Boobs From Hoppy Beer? An 'Earth Poet' Says Yes, Science Says No. https://www.acsh.org/news/2017/11/01/man-boobs-hoppy-beer-earth-poet-says-yes-science-says-no-12061

But it does bring up an interesting topic. For several decades prior to my RNY gastric bypass surgery, I had enlarged breast. As a man this is rather embarrassing condition, especially when I go to the YMCA for a swim. According to this article When the enlarged breasts are a result of obesity it is called pseudogynecomastia. I am now over 4 years post-op and my breasts have returned closer to their normal size. Has anyone else noticed this effect?

Same concern here. I've started to really focus on chest exercises, and that's helping. I've also started to consciously work on my posture. When I was heaiver, I developed a terrible slouch, which also had the unfortunate effect of making the moobs seem even more flabby.

JUST THREE words, men!

Swim!

Vigorous breaststroke.

It's worked wonders in just 24 days for my chest. Firmer by the day!


Good sir let me tell you! They do decrease and you will feel so excited!! I actually had my measured at Victoria secret (DONT YOU JUDGE ME[emoji23]) and started off in the I's. I'm now down to a 48 F. I'm determined to get these moobs out my life!

I will gladly take boob donations as mine are 98.7% likely to go away as well.

You must hide all the tubes of CLEARASIL in that case. :D:)

Upper back workouts ,shoulders and chest will help tighten skin and flatten out moobs a bit at a time.
