I'm getting the date of my surgery as well as the phrase "Spread Your Wings"

My auntie has told me this my whole life and it's something that helped me make it through this process! Just waiting until I hit goal weight or my one year!

My surgery date is March 12th and I'm going this Saturday to get a tattoo for my journey still kinda back and forth between which one I want lol but the one I'm leaning more toward is a quote " find joy in the journey" with a dandelion blowing in the wind, it kinda makes me think that I know there will be good/bad days but the joy of it all is I will get to a happy place somewhere in my journey! :)

Great question. I do not have any tattoos, but I would consider getting one to mark the occasion of having WLS.

That is VERY cool! Post a picture if you end up designing one!

I am a 64 year old grandma to 10 wonderful kids! I am pretty mild going but when I began my journey .. For myself ... I went an had a small tattoo ( word) done on the inside of my wrist! Shocked everyone but I am so glad I did it! It remains me daily what my real hunt is for in my life.. The need for " BALANCE "

I will be getting a tattoo. I'm the only one in my family who doesn't have one. I designed my husband's and will be designing my own. I'm thinking long and hard about what it will be and where it will go. You don't rush something that's so permanent!

I am having plastic surgery in November and I'm considering that to be my "final phase" of my journey... Once I am healed of that I was thinking about having my heaviest weight tattooed on my ribs or something so that I never forget how far I have come... Idk. But I've thought about it as well.

I had this one doned 2015 after my weight loss. It represent my past eating disorder which got me to be obese and in the writing it says you are beautiful in french vous est belle. To remind me to love myself

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
