Sounds like a good idea. I promised myself a new tattoo when I hit my goal weight.

I have a bunch of tattoos, and have no plans on getting anything done around my port area. What if the port flips, and you have to have surgery? There's going to be a huge incision right on your tattoo, and you know it will never be sewed up exact, and it'd look awful afterwards.

This is the first tat , I wouldnt recommend getting , I mean it's an object that can be moved or taken out , then what you going to do , people asking what's that sun or arrow on your stomach for , uh it was my lap band port , but I had to have it ,etc , etc, . I have been wanting a lion face on my shoulder for years now and now that I gone down in size I been thinking more about getting it

I was thinking of getting one after I reach my goal and get a Tummy Tuck. My port incision is about 2 inches above and an inch to the left of where my port actually is so any revisions won't matter. And if for some reason they move the port somewhere else completely, the tattoo will still have sentimental value.

I was thinking about getting "Fill Here. Saliene Only" like it says "unleaded only" under the gas cap. I think it would be a fun conversation starter when I'm skinny enough to wear a bikini!

If anyone has a port tattoo, post up pics!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
