Mine didn't stretch but we're still on hanging skin. I had skin removed and got tattoos cut in half in the process!! lol I'm still in coverup mode. It's going to take many sessions but will be beautiful in the end ;)

I'm interested in this too. I have one on each shoulder. One on each shoulder blade. A large one on my left leg. I've been holding off on getting my next one until I enter maintenance phase. I'm planning on getting a peacock on right calve.

For me, the 2 i have i thought about where to put them for a long time. ONE in the middle of my back, and one on my wrist, there won't be any changes....

I lost 100lbs a couple of years ago and I have 16 tattoos. I was careful to not get any in places where the sagging skin may need to be cut away (i.e. Inside of upper arm, inner thigh, abdomen)
I had quite a bit of loose skin and I found that my tattoos just moved a little. So one on my upper arm just wrapped around my arm more but not quite enough to be in the saggy area.
Of course I gained that 100 back and then quite a bit more but at least I know where to hold off getting them for now. I get sleeved in a month.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
