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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
