Like a symbol of some sort to support your journey??? I was thinking of making one or looking one up after my surgery... How about y'all?

Sounds cool

I'm getting the date of my surgery as well as the phrase "Spread Your Wings"

My auntie has told me this my whole life and it's something that helped me make it through this process! Just waiting until I hit goal weight or my one year!

That sounds cool, congrats on your progress!

My surgery date is March 12th and I'm going this Saturday to get a tattoo for my journey still kinda back and forth between which one I want lol but the one I'm leaning more toward is a quote " find joy in the journey" with a dandelion blowing in the wind, it kinda makes me think that I know there will be good/bad days but the joy of it all is I will get to a happy place somewhere in my journey!

Great question. I do not have any tattoos, but I would consider getting one to mark the occasion of having WLS.

That is VERY cool! Post a picture if you end up designing one!

I am a 64 year old grandma to 10 wonderful kids! I am pretty mild going but when I began my journey .. For myself ... I went an had a small tattoo ( word) done on the inside of my wrist! Shocked everyone but I am so glad I did it! It remains me daily what my real hunt is for in my life.. The need for " BALANCE "

LOL i love tattoos and I think it is an excellent idea to get something special to acknowledge your new you.

I will be getting a tattoo. I'm the only one in my family who doesn't have one. I designed my husband's and will be designing my own. I'm thinking long and hard about what it will be and where it will go. You don't rush something that's so permanent!

I love tattoos and have been thinking of getting one once I have lost the weight

I am having plastic surgery in November and I'm considering that to be my "final phase" of my journey... Once I am healed of that I was thinking about having my heaviest weight tattooed on my ribs or something so that I never forget how far I have come... Idk. But I've thought about it as well.

I had this one doned 2015 after my weight loss. It represent my past eating disorder which got me to be obese and in the writing it says you are beautiful in french vous est belle. To remind me to love myself

I got this a month before my surgery (just had it done on 6/17). The arrow heads are ancient glyphs that mean "transition" and "transform"

You ladies just inspired me! I might consider getting one.

I haven't had surgery yet but I'm thinking about getting a dandelion tattoo. I know super cliche but it symbolizes letting go of the excess and change
