Before and After Pics



Recommended Posts

Nice' date=' I can't find any topics on tattoos and wls, but I've been asked at numerous tattoo competitions to enter and I don't due to my weight. Entering is on my weight loss bucket list. I just don't want them to warp. Once I lose my remaining weight, I will literally have 1/3th of my body covered as opposed to 1/4th now! I have waited to do my ribs and upper abdomen until I lose weight, as well as my full back piece (besides upper back piece) and the last portion of my sleeves which is upper arms that will tie into my upper back piece. I have my husband making patterns now for when the time is ready![/quote']

That is awesome!!! I'm not "covered" only have random bits and pieces... But I'm guessing if your skin sags in certain spots, your tattoos would morph as well. Idk... Interesting to find out though...

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
