My brother in-law is a tattoo artist. So I have let him experiment on me. I have 3 tattoos, and I am scared that once I get the surgery, they will soon be deformed. :( I have a heart with wings with my dad's intials in the heart on my right ankle. I have the Good Luck Care Bear (the one with a clover on it's tummy) on my upper back, in between my shoulder blades, and on my right shoulder blade I have the Japanese meaning for sister and relationship. Anyone else have this?

I don't know about the one on your tummy or shoulder blades, but the one on you ankle should be fine. We don't lose a ton of weight right there!!smile.gif

They should all be fine. If you were talking about anything on breast tissue or your belly, well.... that's a different story. LOL

I was curious about that too. Will the ones are your arms and shoulders deform also?

My Husband is a tattooer and I was really considered about all of my tattoos. He told me that they will be fine but I only have them on my arms,caves and foot.

I have two - both on my back. A fairly big one between my shoulder blades and the proverbial tramp stamp. I have lost well over a hundred pounds and they are both unchanged. This tramp is still stamped :P

I love it!! "This tramp is still stamped" made me LOL. I guess after my surgery, this tramp will still be stamped.

I got my "tramp stamp" back when I was skinny, so if anything, it is more disformed now than it will be when I lose weight.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!

      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!!
