Thanks Drewslou, no it's not. I have one on my ankle, that one hurt much worse.

I saw yours. Isn't it on your foot? If so then I've seen it and it's great, colorful.

Yeah, it's on my foot. It's almost healed now and looks awesome. Didn't expect the top of my foot to hurt so much... duh!

I've always wanted something there on my foot to hide my scar there too. You've just inspired me. *goes to work on a foot tattoo*

I have zero tats now. My plan is to wait until I'm done losing weight, done with any cosmetic surgery I may choose to have after the weight is off and stable, wait till my last scars from any cosmetic surgery done is fully healed and then decide on tats and locations for them, likely some to cover scars, I've been thinking I'll probably have a Tummy Tuck, and I'll probably have some kind of 'belt' tattoo to cover the tt scar. I started planning the possibilities as soon as I decided to go for the lap band. I can't wait!... but I'm going to - LOL!

this is a great thread! i'm thinking of getting a tattoo (lettering) in a few weeks on my chest (under my collarbone). i'm hoping that because it's a flatter area (like the back) that it will be ok. does anyone have a chest tattoo that has fared well?

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
