I'm a 25 year old male who has struggles with my weight since I can remember. I've lost a total of 90 lbs since my heaviest weight in high school. I'm currently 5'9 and weigh 160. I'm probably the most fit I've ever been. I've slacked with working out the past few months after injuring my knee during extreme kickboxing class. My procedure is scheduled for next Monday march 4th. I have wanted a tummy tuck the past few years. I've finally got enough courage to finally do it! I have a poor pain tolerance and the recovery is making me very stressed and anxious. Any advise would be great! This site has been so helpful already and consumes a lot of my time, reading everyone's stories. Will keep ya'll posted on my little journey I'm about to take.

Welcome to the community. Great job on the weight loss and fitness; keep up the good work.
The first week post op is the hardest but you can do this! Stay on top of the pain meds as prescribed and you will find this really helps. You have some really excellent support here on RS and we will all help you through the tough times.
Make sure to post your before and after pics. Deep breaths and before you know it you will be home recovering.
Hey Tucker! Congrats on your weight loss and your procedure this Monday! I wanted to share another community members story Abscapes. He's got a great attitude and it's very informative. Keep us posted on how it goes and please do post some before and afters!
