jullee, i have two tattoos. fortunately, there both in places (upper back and inside right ankle) that they shouldn't really be bothered too much by my weight loss. I did, however, have a very close friend of mine that lost weight and it had an impact on her tattoo. it was a tribal tattoo on her lower back. it didn't look awful or anything you could just tell that it had shrunk a little. i'm sure that there are tattoo artists that could touch up or refigure any tattoo that doesn't suit you. it's pretty amazing what they can do now a days. but anyway, good luck with your surgery.

This is something I've been wondering...seeing as I have three tattoos. Two of them are on my chest, and the third is on the top of my foot. Thanks for the imput!

I have about 30 tattoos (have not counted in a while) and they look okay. I have lost a bunch of weight and had plastic surgery and they still look good. The only ones that have a difference at this point are the ones on my back. They have come in a bit due to me losing a number inches in my sholders.

I will be having the skin under my arms removed and tightened at some point this year and that will change the ones on my upper arms. I too think it's all about location.

I saw a young gal at the gym with a large and bright sun tat that radiated out from her belly button. I chuckled under my breath at what is going to happen to it during a pregnancy, if she should ever decide to become a parent. :biggrin1:

I am covered with huge tattoos, you can see them on my myspace page. They have held up just fine. My tattoos are on my neck, arms, back, between my shoulder blades and on my legs and feet. They all look fine, just a bit bigger now. Think about it like this, a postage stamp on a poster board, compared to the same stamp on a recipie card. I have gone from a size 24 to a size 11jr so I think I am qualified to answer. I want to get a few more tattoos but I am waiting until after I've had my lower body lift. I want one on my lower back and something around my bellybutton. I'm done having kids and now that I am thin I want to get the work done. I have my band date on my back under a flaming lotus, I love it. ~Mandy

      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? 🤷‍♀️
