I have 6 tattoos. Nothing is sleeve related. I have my children's names, 4 names, around one ankle, Marvin the Martian on the other ankle, Tweety Bird on my back, chinese symbols for grief and love on the back of neck, In Memory of on my chest and a portrait on my right arm. I love tattoo's and I plan on getting more but I don't know what of yet.

You both look great! Congrats.

I started Zumba last night and I loved it! The class is at my local recreation center and it is 2 days a week.

I too have done years of diets and each and every one I lost but gained right back. I have never been more motivated to lose since I got the sleeve. I use to think I could do it on my own but quickly learned I was wrong. Don't doubt yourself!

Hi, just thought I'd add my experience with the Mirena. I had mine put in in July and I love it. The only side effect I have had is acne along my jawline which is really irritating. I was previously on the pill and didn't have that issue. Otherwise, I never think about it. Periods were very light but I am just 4 weeks out from surgery so now they are a little whacked out but i know they will return to normal soon. Hope this helps just a little bit...

Mirena is non-hormonal and birth control pills are hormonal that is why you didn't have acne when you were on birth control pills. If the acne gets too much for you, you can see a dermatologist or go back on pills to control the acne.

I just got my Mirena on Dec 15. I feel like I dont want to lose anymore, as I am 173 and losing my curves.

My appetite is voracious and I have had spotting/period for 8 days now. I havent gained anything I havent lost in the next 2 days but its noticeable.

Im hating it! I had discharge and some "smell" for the first week after it was inserted and now the never ending bleeding.

Im depressed. If the bleeding does not subside by the time I go for my 6 week check up I'm having it removed.

It's normal to have spotting for the first 6 months after having the Mirena inserted. Some people have it some don't but everyone is different. You need to try and give it six months before removing it. It is very typical to not have periods with the Mirena but you need to try and give it the full six months. Spotting is irritating but it beats full blown periods every month. Good luck!

I reached my goal for Valentine's Day!!!!!

You go girl! That is wonderful. I know we were sleeved the same day and you are doing great! Congrats!!!!

Psych evaluation has always been a requirement for WLS. They want to make sure you understand what you are getting into and if you are capable of handling the new changes. It is something they have been doing for over a decade. Good luck with your journey and keep us updated!

I'm thinking it has to be Water weight as well. I don't see how else you could have gained 3 in 2. Don't sweat it! It will come off plus some. Good luck!

Congrats to you!!!!

You are so very positive! I am one of those that weighs every day. I am 7 weeks post op today though. It doesn't move every day and I am ok with that. Good luck to you!

I have a digital scale. Mine is all fancy with BMI and all but still digital. I've always noticied a difference between digital and manual. Since almost all doctor offices are digital that is why I choose digital.
