I have not had surgery yet. I have two half sleeve tattoos. I am wondering if anyone also has tattoos on areas where the skin was dramatically changed. Would anyone share before & after pictures. Curious what type of damage they may incur! I am hoping that at least my feet and ankle tattoos are safe!

Also does anyone have any tattoos commemorating their weight loss? I would love to see pictures of those also!

I was able to fix my original post. Ignore this one :-)

I do not currently have any tattoos, but I am planning on getting a pretty epic one once my body is where I am happy with it. I want a tear away full shoulder tattoo with a suit of celtic armour underneath. Woven into the armour would be my wifes name, the names of any children at the time, and my surgery date. There will be other tatoos in the same fashion on other ares covering my first full ironman and my colorado bike ride.

I hope it all works out well for you.

I have a half sleeve and have lost some weight on the arms and it hasn't really affected it much, I am still in the weight loss process, though....

That's good to know! My tattoo artist said usually all you would see on sleeves is the tattoo slide down due to the loose skin. Hoping it's minor enough!

      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?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞
