Post a picture when it's done and healed.

I don't have one but I will after this journey.

I had one and had it sanded off. (Before laser removal.)

It's certainly a personal decision. I just wish they hadn't become the fad they are, I think lots more people are going to be seeking dermatologists in the future to get them off.

I am excited see yours, though! Please make sure to post some pics!

Hey all,

I have a tattoo on my butt, it is the Eye of Horus, Egyptian. I love it! It is used as an amulent against injury, so I've always considered it my good luck charm. I want another, but my DP is totally against it. Anyway, I've had it since I was 24, (waited 4 years to get it, just to make sure)!

Can't wait to see yours!

Kristen,

I have two tattoos and I love them! I am probably going to get another one this summer!! Your tattoo sounds like a nice one. Mine are around my ankle, I am not sure where I will put the next one.

Pamela, I like the meaning behind your tattoo!

Will get a memorial tattoo for my dad this year on my calf with the shield of the fire department he was in for over 30 years.

I've got 3, and regret just one of them...the tribal band and rose on the small of my back - they're now being called "tramp stamps" :)

My hubby hates them all.

I have a "tramp stamp". A butterly with scroll work around it, and plans to get another done around Mothers Day (a waterlilly or lotus flower on my belly or flank, I am not sure yet)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
