I did the same thing I hate asking for one and people always stare!!

I am going through the same thing. My current tattoo is on my back between shoulder blades at base of the neck. I want two more and the only places that shouldn't change are my wrists and my ankles. My dilemma is also I work in corp America and I would prefer a more hidden location.

I have high blood pressure and the same thing happened to me. I was dizzy for a good 20 minutes after I got off.

My stitches made me crazy!!! I never had bandages just the steri strips which I was told not to remove. I showered and just didn't let the Water hit the stitches directly. When the strips started to lift during week 2 I left them because I was told not to pull off, but when I showed my primary she pulled them right off. But then I had these little plastic strings sticking out. My primary said they did not look like dissolvable stitches though...since my next appt with my surgeon is not until July 20th I did something crazy and yesterday I pulled on the strings...they slid right out. I panicked a little but seems ok...anyone have a similar experience?

My date was May 15th.

I guess I was lucky because I really didn't have any issues sleeping. I guess my pain meds had me knocked out.

Congrats!! I can't wait to be under 300!

Hi everyone I am new to this thread and site. I wish I had found this forum before my surgery. I was trying to read from the beginning but decided to get posting. I had my surgery on May 15th and including my pre op liquids which started on Apr 24th I have removed 26lbs!! A really good friend told me not to say lose anymore...cause when you lose something you try to find it and lord knows I don't ever want to find that weight! Well good luck to everyone...I am going to head back to page 20 to catch up I also tried to join the May group but is asking for a password.
