27 Year Old Male- Tummy Tuck After 150 Lbs Weight Loss and then Muscle Building - Sugar Land, TX

I lost the weight in about 18 months, then I gained about 30 pounds of lean muscle mass and filled as much skin as possible. Finally decided to get the skin removed before my wedding in July. I went to a few doctors and they seemed to treat every patient the same in the sense that they didn't listen to my unique aspects of my transformarion. Furthermore, other offices made me feel rushed and as if I was imposing on their time. Bancroft Feldman plastic surgery was the complete opposite and that's why I chose them.

Post surgery I don't remember the first four days very well. 5th day I was already feeling good enough to walk around my house and get up and down at will. On the 5 day I also stopped taking pain medicine. I go in today to get drains out and compression garment put on. I will update post later

Feeling good but swollen. Still have both drains in. Compression vest I got from Doctor made everything go from good to GREAT! Huge ice pack with a belt, compression socks to my knees, and elevated feet have helped tremendously as well. I have taken Somatropen injection daily or 4IU and I take two servings of BCAA's (Amino X by BSN), Glutamine (generic), and two high protein shakes daily since day 3 (days 1-3 I was completely incapacitated, throwing up my medicine, and in bad shape) I had an important meeting on day 7 and I was able to drive 30 minutes and give an hour presentation (just needed help unloading samples from my truck). I have tried (and failed to do any cardio exercise beyond walking at half my normal fast pace, and I have been able to do some very light upper body workouts with about 15-20% of my normal Maximums. I feel great. And i know it only gets better from here. If you are considering the surgery I suggest you do it. You won't remember the worst of it and after that it is no different than the way you feel the day after a VERY difficult workout that included a lot of sit-ups. Cheers Y'all

Lost weight by starting to get on elliptica for only 15 mins a day. It snowballed from there. I got Down to 215 pounds and then I started lifting heavy things to build mass. Enjoy it!
