I think it depends on where your tat is - I have one on my ankle so I doubt that one will change. But, places like butt and lower back....if you have gained a lot there and you lose maybe?? I am waiting until after I get to goal to get my second one on my back (left shoulder) because I thought about that....didnt want to take any chances.

Sounds like another good reason NOT to get a tattoo. ;)

What WLS surgery doesn't make look wierd, age will.

All mine are in spots that won't really shrink much, ankle, shoulder, calf and neck. But I guess another 70 pounds and I'll know for sure

Most of mine are in places that do not shrink/stretch all that much. I'm hoping they don't change much! If they do I suppose I'll just have them covered or touched up =) Not a huge deal.

The one on my calf is smaller, one on ankle, not so much. I was surprised to see that they shrank at all.

That is what I was afraid of and decided not to get any tattoos (had a couple drawn, memoriam ones) until I reach goal. I am pretty sure if they are anywhere put your ankle, wrist or feet they will "move".

Hello all,

I have a few tattoos and I think they all look better since losing the weight. They are not as stretched and the color looks good.

I have three. My entire back is one huge piece. My back has always been very lean though and it has not changed at all. I don't think it will. I have a piece on the top of my wrist that now wraps around the sides and looks even better for it... I have one on my thigh though that isn't faring so well. It's crooked now and migrating from the side of my leg to the back... LOL I'm going to have to get it worked into another design after I hit goal. It's all black tribal though so it should be doable.

I have a large one on my stomach, it's grown with me so I hope it will shrink too :rolleyes: . I've thought about if I have to have plastics what it will do to this one. It was my first and most special to me.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
