weight loss tattoos



Recommended Posts

I am thinking of a target or crosshairs over my port just to give my LB nurse a laugh. I figure when I get the excess skin removed, it would get taken off as well.

Ok kinda funny (in a sad way lol)...

I have had problems with HUGE hernias over the last decade. I had one fixed that was bigger than a grapefruit (not exaggerating, either). The surgeon said it was the biggest he's ever seen. I had one become strangulated this past August and I have to have more big ones fixed at the same time as a Tummy Tuck this spring/summer.

Because of all this, and now losing over 180 pounds, my tummy is just gross. SO much extra skin! In fact, my belly button isn't even where it belongs anymore. It's actually down and to the left lol.

After the tummy tuck and skin removal, I won't have any belly button at all anymore. So, I am planning on getting a tattoo where my belly button should be once everything is done!!

:D

I am definitely getting a new tatt when I hit my goal.

3 years ago I had renal cancer resulting in having my kidney removed. I always wanted to get some flower vines wrapping around my side to cover the scars.

      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!
