Was wondering if anyone was thinking about getting a large stomach tattoo after healing I'm thinking I want on from my hips to wrap around to cover scars and scratch marks not really cover but blend in better i want something to do with the surgery and the life changing event any pictures or ideas would be appreciated

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 changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
