I didnd't think about that but I like the idea of getting one to mark the transition to a new life. My hubby wants me to get what I call a "bra topper" on my chest. I was thinking about a butterfly with flowers to show transformation and beauty.

Maybe you could do a wrap around vine of flowers with butterflies over the scars and stretch marks.< /p>

I want a butterfly too lol I want it on my back with the surgery date under. I also want a lil tattoo on the side of my index finger of just the #'s "389" my highest weight facing me not on the side towards my middle finger. I will always see it... Constant reminder!

I'm removing mine or idk what I want to do. I regret it but I love it and hate it. No more tattoo for me :(

I have no tattoos... But I wonder if it would hurt more without so much fat under the skin? I know that my loose skin, ESP on the arms, is much less pain tolerant than it used to be.

I already have 2 but I want another one. My niece wants me to go with her when she turns 18 to get her first, so I am getting one too. I thought of just the words " Be Strong" on my foot or wrist.

Tattoos are all about your own pain tolerance and your ability to put your mind in a different place while getting one! I have a bunch and love the process.. From drawing it up to the application. They don't hurt that bad :)

I like the ribbons:) I've also seen back pieces that look like awesome corsets....they cover just about everything! There is a picture somewhere of a lady who got a total lower so had scars all around...she did the vine and flowers and it looks great! I like Jenny's idea of the finger number.I was thinking about putting the amount I lose in the tail of peacock - it's a vanity thing :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
