"Arek helped me stop feeling like gyno surgery was my only option."
I’ve struggled with gyno for years and was getting to the point where I just wanted surgery as quickly as possible. Arek had already been through the entire process himself, including the consultation, surgery and recovery, so being able to speak to someone who genuinely understood it was invaluable.
One of the biggest things he helped me realise was that I shouldn’t rush into surgery until I’m in a position to recover properly. He explained how much he underestimated the recovery himself and why trying to get back to normal too quickly simply wasn’t worth it. I’m still planning to have surgery, but I now feel much more prepared and I’m waiting until I can actually give myself the time to heal.
In the meantime, we’ve focused on the things I can control. Through the Akxellera app, he’s adjusted my training to help build my chest and improve my overall shape, while also giving me practical advice around clothing and ways to feel more comfortable day to day.
The biggest change has probably been my confidence. Instead of spending every day thinking about gyno and waiting for surgery to fix everything, I feel like I’m actually moving forward now. Having support from someone who has already been through exactly what I’m dealing with has made a massive difference.
