Personally I would wait. Just seems like it would be an extra thing that could limit how the surgeon sculpts the area.

I just got my tummy tuck two weeks ago, and I would suggest to wait till after you get yours. Depending on whether or not you need a full tuck, or just a mini....but I needed the full and my inscisions went all the way across to about the middle of my sides. I know that if I had a tattoo there that it would have turned out all mishapened. Good luck! :)

I would definitely wait on this. A tattoo costs a lot of money as does the Tummy Tuck. You want optimal results on both. :)

Yeah I'm thinking the same thing. Definitely don't want that ruined. Thanks everyone.

I had a tattoo about the size of a large orange on the front side of my left hip. I say "had" because after my Tummy Tuck I now only have the top half of two of my Iris flowers leaves and about 1/8 part of the top of the Iris flower. I will have to have the tattoo redone. My advice....WAIT!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

      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!
